Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming Italo-Crime Collection (1973-1977) 4K Blu-ray release, which is scheduled to arrive on the market on August 25.
The three films in the Italo-Crime collection will also receive individual Blu-ray releases.
THE COUNSELOR a.k.a. COUNSELOR AT CRIME (1973)
Martin Balsam (The Taking of Pelham One Two Three) and Tomás Milián (The Big Gundown) blast the opposition in this crime saga from director Alberto De Martino (The Antichrist). When the godson (Milián) of the San Francisco syndicate boss (Balsam) asks permission to leave "the business," Don Antonio agrees, but reluctantly. Such behavior by either man violates "the code," and triggers a bloody mob war with underboss Garofalo (Francisco Rabal, Sorcerer).
BLAZING MAGNUM a.k.a. SHADOWS IN AN EMPTY ROOM (1976)
When his sister is poisoned at a party, hardened Canadian cop Tony Saitta (Stuart Whitman, Sands of the Kalahari) embarks on a violent investigation that turns into a shocking whirlpool of revenge and betrayal. Featuring one of the decade's greatest car chases and an arsenal of plot twists, this blend of fast-paced action film and tough police procedural from director Alberto De Martino.
WEAPONS OF DEATH a.k.a. NAPLES SHOOTS (1977)
Leonard Mann's (Cut and Run) hard-bitten cop goes up against Henry Silva's (The Boss) flamboyant death-dealer in this blazing Italo-Crime gem. The action-packed thriller plunges the viewer into a Neapolitan cesspool of crime, as dogged Inspector Belli (Mann) and his task force fight against kingpin Salvatore Santoro (Silva), a stony-faced maniac who orchestrates a string of brutal robberies and insane car chases and massacres any cop, gangster or innocent bystander who gets in his way. Directed by Mario Caiano (Violent Milan) as a spin-off to Umberto Lenzi's aptly titled Violent Naples. This special edition also includes Shadows in an Empty Room, the alternate cut of Blazing Magnum, originally released by the legendary American International Pictures studio.
