Rulers of the City (1976)

Directed by Fernando Di Leo
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Blu-ray, Raro Video)

Tony is a small-time money collector for one of Rome's gangsters. He tries to impress his boss by scamming a rival gang leader out of a lot of money, secretly taking a cut for himself in the process. When the other gang leader finds out what happens, he comes after not only Tony, but his friends and most members of the gang. Tony, along with his new blond-haired actor friend and a middle-aged effeminate gangster, not only manage to avoid getting shot but wipe out all of their rivals. The action consists mostly of fist fights and some poor karate moves, although there is some of the bloody violence usually found in these cheap Italian mafia movies.
