Mario Siciliano, director of the racist sleazefest Skin 'em Alive makes another entry into the mercenary genre. Somehow this ends up being more sleazy and equally racist. I'd dare say it's up there with Garrone's lurid productions when it comes to the sleaze-factor. Sweaty gangrapes, drugs, torture, traps, murders and so on. The scene where the baddest baddie shoots at kids being thrown through the air is nuts. This film also sports a genuinely awesome italocheese soundtrack by Fabio Frizzi ("Rolf! You burned out the love inside!"). The oddest bit in this, has to be the religious motive recurring throughout the film. Apparently Rolf is a modern day Jesus, drawing strength directly from god. Note: our title-character Rolf spends a lot of time crying in this film. The scene were he stumbles into and falls asleep in a ditch filled with leeches, is excellent. Beyond ridiculous, but still lacking severely in entertainment value. Lame!
