Ricco wants revenge…

Ricco Aversi (Chris Mitchum — Summertime Killer) emerges from a short prison sentence to find that Don Avito (Arthur Kennedy — The Tough Ones), the ruthless smuggler who murdered his father, has also stolen his girlfriend. With the help of the ravishing petty thief, Scilla (Barbara Bouchet — Don’t Torture a Duckling), he makes his way through the dastardly cast of characters who betrayed him in a legendary fury of blood-drenched vengeance! 

Famously marketed as Cauldron of Death in the US, Ricco is from veteran Italian director Tulio Demicheli (Assignment Terror, Sabata The Killer) and features a long list of familiar faces including Eduardo Fajardo (Django) and Malisa Longo (Urban Warriors) along with all the action you have come to expect from the genre. Cauldron Films debuts the worldwide release of Ricco The Mean Machine on Blu-ray restored from a 4K scan of the original, uncut negative and featuring new and archival extras!
