Hi all, first post here. What a cool forum. It's good to see people enjoying these great films. All my friends look at me funny when I try to tell them about the great Merli, Milian or Silva pic i've just watched. Nice to meet kindred spirits.
I find I can return to Violent Rome more regularly than the other Merli films, I love how he disapprovingly scolds Conte's character for advocating vigilantism and then minutes later warns him that his methods are much more severe than the vigilantes and basically takes over the running of the gang, dealing out severe lawless punishment. Priceless.
This film also holds a place in my heart on a more personal note. Twenty years ago while on holiday in Rome with my dad I got mugged and had my wallet taken by two girls aged around 15! In my defence I was only 9 or 10 years old at the time and was walking along by myself (a lame excuse). Anyway, this happened to me only about 10 metres away from the spot the brutal mugging of the old lady at the hands of the two fellas on the bike took place at, with the Coloseum in the background. Quite literally on the other side of the wall from that scene.
Ah memories......
