The Heroin Busters (1977)

Blue Underground has released this film directed by Enzo Castellari with a beautiful widescreen print. It stars Fabio Testi as a drug-dealer who has just arrived in Rome. David Hemmings is an Interpol agent that is trying to crack a heroine ring that has connections in cities across the globe. He follows Testi and other small-time dealers in an attempt to find out who the big boss is and how he gets the stuff to America.This is one of Castellari's better films with a nice chase at the end that winds its way through newly constructed subway tunnels and involves dirt bikes and armed scientists and ends at a giant stage constructed among ancient ruins. Soundtrack music by Goblin.

Alternate Titles: La Via Della Droga, Drug Street

Available: Netflix, Amazon
