穷凶极恶

清乾隆年间，红花会舵主于万亭与四当家文泰来趁乾隆皇帝狩猎之际，面呈载有乾隆卑微身世的陈夫人遗书抄本，要挟乾隆与红花会结盟、反清复明。乾隆暗遣张召重杀死于万亭，将文泰来捕获。于万亭义子陈家洛继任舵主，率众前往营救文泰来。途中杀退清军，为来自维疆的木卓伦部队解了围。木卓伦长女霍青桐与家洛一见钟情，随家洛同往劫持囚车，但因清军援兵赶到，未获成功。家洛随即赶赴杭州，偶于飞来峰上与东方耳相遇，二人抚琴论诗，一见如故。后家洛得知乾隆在杭州提审文泰来，夜伏屋顶探视，发现东方耳正是乾隆。不久，家洛返回阔别的故乡，从奶妈处得到亡母陈夫人遗书真迹，方知当朝皇帝乃是在襁褓中被其父用调包计送进王府的胞兄。在父母坟旁，家洛又与乾隆巧遇。乾隆矢口否认自己为陈家后裔，并答应释放文泰来。家洛信以为真，便将亡母遗书投入钱塘江中。岂料乾隆即派重兵围剿红花会。家洛巧施美人计，将乾隆劫持于六和塔上。肃亲王欲借机置乾隆于死地，率八旗炮队猛轰高塔。乾隆万般无奈之下，接受了与红花会结盟反清的协议。本片于1988年获法国巴黎国际妇女电影节特别奖。续集为《戈壁恩仇录》。

　　Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately; Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction; but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another.
　　The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average; but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!
