- Quotes
Fred: ...And who gets it?
Norma: Well, why not ask the Captain?
Fred: No, I mean who gets to go to bed with you? Do I?
Tony: Or, Do I?
Norma: You both may!
Fred: What a sport you are! One of us gets it first by my rules. I'm against threesomes!
Norma: Oh, but after I screw you, I can screw him. Bring a couple of friends if you want to. You take a woman to bed, and what do you give to her? When you reach your extent of possibility, I mean after only one, or two or three orgasms - we women have more in us than you think - I'm prepared to go all night.
[Fred and Tony mutter incoherently and make for the door]
Norma: My dear cocksmen, we girls have to work hard for the inadequate performance we get. We play to your masculine conceit, and make you feel like supermen.
[Tony lights Norma a cigarette]
Norma: Then you invite us to meals with a hundred courses, and you're through after the appetizer.
Fred: Well, listen to Mae West!
Norma: Only if we love someone do we ever get cheated. Then we don't mind how much he fails in bed. I just don't happen to love you.
Fred: Okay, okay - so we go to bed together. Who gets it first?
Norma: As you say, you go together!
Fred: No way!

Ray Lovelock and Mark Porel play two rogue motorcycle cops who are more like criminals with badges. They endanger the public, they beat, torture, and shoot suspects, and the avail themselves of any woman they come across. But there is also a definite homosexual subtext between the two characters. Both are played by pretty-boy actors. They ride around on the same motorbike. At and one point, they have what is pretty close to three-way sex with the slutty sister of a gangster they are pursuing. The sister is played by "Fabiana Flavia", who is actually Sofia Dionisio, the younger, bustier sister of Silvia Dionisio, who was Deodato's wife at the time (So, yes, Deodato films a fairly graphic double sex scene with his own sister-in-law!). Silvia Dionisio also has a smaller part as a secretary, but it's a plum part for an actress in one of these macho films, first because she gets to keep her clothes on, and second, because she gets to banter with these two sexist pigs as they shamelessly hit on her (and her "liberated" character definitely gives as good as she gets).
There are some very disturbing moments of violence in this film, equaled only in the genre by Lucio Fulci's notorious "Contraband', Andrea Bianchi's "Cry of a Prostitute",and the grindhouse classic "Rico" (aka "Cauldron of Death"). These films generally vary greatly from intelligent noirish and morally ambiguous fare, where a lone cop or sympathetic criminal is forced to survive in an urban jungle, to trite, right-wing fantasies where a straight-arrow cop takes on mustache-twirling bad guys while his lilly-livered liberal superiors fume. This movie takes the latter path generally, but it exaggerates the vigilante cops so much it becomes a kind of reducto ad absurdum. It's not a great film perhaps, but it is certainly worth watching, especially if you are a fan of the genre.
