Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaYul Brynner and Barbara Bouchet, who play lovers in the film, did not get along. Bouchet was with Brynner in his dressing room going over lines when he took off his unwashed socks and threw them at the wardrobe lady's face. "Wash them," he told her. Boucher didn't like that at all. So when she found out he was superstitious about carnations, she anonymously sent a big bouquet of carnations to his dressing room.
- Quotes
Peter Marciani: [as the henchman puts a gun to his head] If I were you, I'd shoot.
Gallo's henchman: You're worth double alive.
Peter Marciani: If I were you, I'd still shoot!

Featured review
One of Yul Brynner's least known films and the last film he made. Death Rage has Brynner as Peter Marciani, retired hit man that is force out of retirement to avenge the death of his murdered brother. Marciani (Brynner) goes to Naples and after the man he learn killed his brother, mafia kingpin Gennaro Gallo.
The film is fine generally speaking: not great but it is not horrible but it is the storyline that that seems to be lacking something to me and I'm not sure what - maybe a little bit more action scenes and a little less talking at times? My point being: the film needed some "spice" that it lacked to make this film stand out better. Really the only thing to make this film stand out is Yul Brynner himself - and that's it.
If you like 1970s crime-action films you might like this one but just remember this film could use a wee bit more action... also if you are a fan of Yul Brynner's then I would recommend the film to you.
5/10
