Crédits fous
The opening titles are spliced, at random intervals, over the opening scene, a jailbreak. Whenever a credit appears, the escape is interrupted, in freeze frame, and the letters are cast over the frozen image long enough to be read, then vanish as the film advances forward, and the escape continues until the next credit, and so on, till all titles have been shown, then the prisoners burst out of jail.

Very good

If you are a fan of the Euro-crime type films then this a typical violent outing that delivers a lot in 90ish minutes running time. Merli plays the usual tough cop Dirty Harry type role, and gets a decent motorbike chase that is a highlight. I certainly disagree with comments that the film is dull as there's plenty of great action sequences. There is less plot than say 'The Marseille Connection' (High Crimes) or other similar films though. Merli is good in this film, though naturally dubbed. He's great in the action scenes especially the fights! It's more than can be said for an clearly ill at ease James Mason, who acts like he'd rather be somewhere else.

Its a shame this genre of films is difficult to come by (certainly in the UK) and the copy i've watched is the grainy '23rd Century' release which i gather is missing footage at the start. Even so it's definitely worth a watch if you can track it down.
