Ricco: The Mean Machine Blu-ray makes its worldwide Blu-ray debut in a new restoration from a 4K scan of the original uncut negative. Directed by veteran Italian filmmaker Tulio Demicheli, this gritty crime thriller delivers the violent action, revenge-driven storytelling and larger-than-life characters that made 1970s Eurocrime cinema a cult favourite among genre fans.
Fresh out of prison, Ricco Aversi returns home to discover that the ruthless smuggler responsible for murdering his father has also stolen his girlfriend. Determined to settle the score, Ricco launches a relentless campaign of vengeance with the help of the beautiful thief Scilla, cutting a bloody path through the criminals and traitors who betrayed him.
Originally released in Italy and later marketed in the United States as Cauldron of Death, Ricco: The Mean Machine stars Chris Mitchum, Arthur Kennedy and Barbara Bouchet in a hard-hitting tale of revenge packed with action, violence and classic Eurocrime atmosphere.
