Reception
In Italy, the film was distributed by Lark and it grossed 593,395,110 lire.[3]
In his analysis of the film, Roberto Curti heavily criticized it, noting "the film's half-baked plot, filled with clichés worthy of a bad sceneggiata" and "the tone [...] closer to that of a lurid comic book".[3]
gollark: The sound quality is bad there because there are people shouting and non-optimal audio setups and whatnot.
gollark: Lots of people?
gollark: (of course, digital radio is cooler™)
gollark: They transmit it at VHF because it uses a lot more than AM.
gollark: I see.
