Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately| Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction| but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another. The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average| but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!。在改革开放的大潮巾，彝族小伙子罗纳大学毕业后，回乡办起r擀毡厂和工艺美术商店。附近彝族山寨里有两个远近闻名的漂亮姑娘，姐姐叫玛乃薇，在家耕织；妹妹叫玛吐薇，在州剧团当演员。她俩同时爱上了罗纳，但又互不相知。在彝山播种爱情的插花节上，玛吐薇发现原来姐姐也爱着罗纳，她毅然放弃了自己的爱，连夜返州州剧团。玛乃薇约好罗纳晚上相会，不料应约前来的却是罗纳的表弟阿诺宝，至此，她明白r罗纳真心爱的是妹妹。为了妹妹的幸福，她违心跟阿诺宅外出去做买卖。这时，香港导演阿龙率摄制组米此地拍摄电影《梦断金沙》，玛吐薇入选饰女士角邰会香，阿龙饰演男主角日基。两人精彩的情侣戏，使前来看拍片的罗纳醋意人发。罗纳去找玛吐薇表白自己的爱，被拒绝。他因此怀疑阿龙从中插足。在拍摄现场，阿诺宝替罗纳打抱小甲，拔刀指向阿龙，险些问下大祸。玛乃薇最终同意与阿诺宋结婚。大喜之只，罗纳按彝家习俗以...。
