Guido & Maurizio De Angelis - Various Themes

A few tracks from the duo of Guido & Maurizio De Angelis, prolific Italian composers for film in the golden era of Italian crime, western and horror cinema.



From High Crime (1973) (d. Enzo G. Castellari)



From "The Violent Professionals" (1973) (d. Sergio Martino)




From "Raiders Of Atlantis" (1983) (d. Ruggero Deodato)

Endgame (1983)

Directed by Joe D'Amato.

Starring Al Cliver, Laura Gemser, George Eastman and Gordon Mitchell.

IMDB

More Mad Max inspired madness from Italy. The wildly prolific D'Amato (Antropophagus, Buio Omega) helmed this one and he brought back favourite George Eastman and Lucio Fulci regular Al Cliver (Zombie, The Beyond, The Black Cat).

Also look for spaghetti western and peplum star Gordon Mitchell.

This is not the best example of the genre - nods would go out to Enzo G. Castellari's "1990: Bronx Warriors" and Sergio Martino's "2019: After The Fall Of New York", but it's a great little diversion and at least on par with Fulci's similar "The New Gladiators".
