ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

John Seal Lee van Cleef plays professional assassin Harry Chapman (also known as The Perfect Killer or The Satanic Mechanic) in this entertaining (if low-rent) Spanish-Italian co-production. Chapman gets sprung from jail early in order to fulfill an important contract, but naturally things don't go quite as planned and he finds himself the stalkee, not the stalker. Co-star John Ireland adds a modicum of Hollywood cachet to the film but doesn't have a great deal to do. If, however, your idea of a good action film involves knife fights between macho thugs and transvestites, you'll be in seventh heaven here. Star Classics VHS features letter-boxed credits but is otherwise lazily panned and scanned. On the plus side, however, Stelvio Cipriani's score is a funky delight!

udar55 Betrayed by his girl and best friend, thief Harry Chapman (Lee Van Cleef) takes the fall for a racetrack robbery. While in prison, he is offered a chance to participate in an escape plan. What he doesn't know is that once he is on the outside, the group responsible for the prison break has Harry in their debt and they use him as a hit-man. Naturally, he grows tired of the job and splits because he is hellbent on getting revenge on the former partners. So the mob puts young hit-man Luc (Robert Widmark) on Harry's trail. It is kind of surprising that Van Cleef didn't do more Italian crime flicks in the 70s. To my knowledge, he only did this, MEAN FRANK AND CRAZY TONY (aka ESCAPE FROM DEATH ROW), and THE SQUEEZE. As it stands, this one is just kinda average. It doesn't really pick up until the last third. However, there are some great stand alone scenes like an attack by razor-wielding cross dressers (shades of the previous year's STRANGE SHADOWS IN AN EMPTY ROOM) and the final beach showdown. The craziest thing is how every woman seems to find Van Cleef - sporting a really bad rug - to be hot. Tita Barker (aka Carmen Cervera) is the love interest and John Ireland is Harry's confidant. Director Mario Siciliano previously worked with Widmark (aka Alberto Dell'Acqua) on some SARTANA westerns and also did the odd horror flick EVIL EYE (1975).

mustafow1967 I am not sure whether I ever watched this film or not but based on the comments by other users of this Site, It seems I watched 20 Years ago here in Somalia. based on my vague memories of the Film, the Films ends with Lee Van Cleef shooting a woman dead as she climbs the ladder of a departing plane ( perhaps contributors of the comments on this Site which I have just read will confirm whether there is a scene like this ).There is another scene where Lee Van Cleef drives a car very fast towards a man and a woman having sex on the beach with the intention of killing both of them and in another scene a man shoots a woman in her private organ ( Corch ) after having sex with her. will other Readers confirm that this Aka the Pefect Killer or is it another film that I am explaining.Overall the film is watchable as it is full lots of crime and funny scenes. I would recommend it to any one with an appetite for such movies Mustafa

callanvass really cheaply made but watchable flick has a decent score and some funny dialog and the word chow is used throughout a slow paced first half but the second half it comes on strong the ending is cool but overall a watchable mess the acting is decent Lee Van Cleef gives a great performance here and he is the film in my eyes Carmen G Carvera is good here and is quite pretty the rest of the acting stinks however gotta love that ending see you in hell kid overall a mildly entertaining b movie thats worth a watch if ya have nothing better to do ** out of 5 i rented this under the title Satanic Mechanic overall nothing else worth noting here folks oh except that ending remember that ending
