I picked THE VIOLENT PROFESSIONALS up on the UK Vipco double bill with THE BIG RACKET and I have to say, I was a bit underwhelmed by it. It's a little classier (if that's the right phrase) than the Castellari Polizia entries I've seen but I think I enjoyed it a little less for that.
Aside from some epic car chases and the great use of the open-hand slap for perp beat-downs there wasn't much that thrilled me and it doesn't move along briskly enough for my liking. One thing I did like a lot about it, is the way Giorgio boldly straddled the cop world and the criminal underclass, just kicking down doors and roughing everybody up.
