This is the type of iconic image of Franco Nero and Enzo G. Castellari’s, High Crime (La polizia incrimina la legge assolve) that I expect to find just as common in poster shops and cult places around the world and populating the homes of film lovers world wide. How this image is not more common I have no idea but glad to offer it up here in all its glory and restored. I can think of few better images of Franco Nero and this incredibly rare one from a Japanese still of the film might just be the best!

Fans of Poliziottesco/Poliziotteschi cinema should keep a watch for Mike Malloy’s documentary that fully explores it inside and out called Eurocrime! The Italian Cop and Gangster Films that Ruled the ’70s (Facebook Fan Page).

Herzog’s tendency to focus on deluded (if not outright delusional) figures trying to eke out some kind of salvation against jungles both real and allegorical is now legendary, and this story takes on urgent resonance in a twenty-first-century American city trying to start from scratch.

- Colin Geddes (TIFF Write Up)

If this movie is even half as good as its trailer is, this could very well be one of the years most thrilling and offbeat rides from start to finish.

Of note in the pictures above is the scowl on the face of Nicolas Cage in the first image and the action figure with the American Flag in the second one.

I’m not sure on the exact significance of this Japanese poster as it appears to be some kind of celebration of both Hong Kong cinema and the first Police Story film with one hell of a great illustration done for it! Great artwork for fans of Jackie Chan!
