Massacre Mafia Style (1978)


Grindhouse Releasing
Directed by Duke Mitchell
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Vanity piece for writer, director, producer and star Duke Mitchell, a hit man for the mafia who relocates to Hollywood hoping to set up his own racket. He finds an old buddy, and together they kidnap the local number one man, demanding ransom by sending one of his fingers in a box to his family. It works, and they begin a campaign of violence to take over the prostitution, pornography and gambling business. Hilariously awful dialogue, cartoonish and excessive violence, cheesy Italian songs, where to begin with this hopelessly inept, albeit entertaining, Godfather derivative? Watch out for the bread!
