Cani arrabbiati

















http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071275/
4 small thiefs has just commited a robbery in Rome, Italy. It is a hot day and
on hot days when the police is chasing you, you do what you have to do to get
away.

Bisturi (Blade)













played by Riccardo Rovatti looks like a young and thinner
Sylvester Stallone as he looked in the first Rambo.
His partners in crime Trentadue (Thirtytwo) played by Gabriele Duma














and Dottore (Doctor) played by
Renato Cecchetto takes Maria (Lea Lander) as their hostage and flees the city.














They have different personalitys and that is what makes this such an enjoyable
ride.
Blade is the violent one(director Mario Bava even uses the metaphore of a
flipper game to show his anger), Doctor (as the name suggests) is the
mastermind. Thirtytwo, he is more or less the horny bearded freak giving his
hostage some memorable quotes.
- The mayonnaise all over your tits. I´ll make them shiny like mirrors -

Beside the great story and quotes from thirtytwo, Mario Bava who directed this
old proper italian grindhouse movie, rabid dogs also contains some of the old
classic italian trademarks such as fake blood (red paint), great score that
every know and then eneters some scenes, and the intense eyes (they use a lot of
zooming into the eyes).

Rabid dogs could easily have worked as good set in an apartment as it does in
the car, the claustrofobic nature and horror is still there.
… on the other hand, if this would have been taken place in an apartment or
house, they surely wouldn´t have met Maria Sbravati (Maria Fabbri) who most
surely is the most annoying female ever in a movie.

Don´t expect an movie with naked or semi naked women being tied up or raped,
alltough it has scenes that give hints to sexual assualt.
Rabid dogs is a movie that doesn´t end untill the last scene is finished. You
who have seen it know exactly what I mean.

To make this short, Rabid dogs is a movie you atleast have to watch.
