Quotes
'O' Generale: [detailing his "protection plan"] The small business man, he doesn't earn much, doesn't pay much. The big moneymakers, they pay big money. That's justice. And the tradesman has a guarantee he can operate in peace. That's keeping the public order. I'm like a government.
Francesco Capuano: Like the old saying: It's better to command than to fuck.
[both laugh]

Alternate versions
The video version released by Paragon Entertainment is shorn by a minute as many scenes are abbreviated to exclude most of the film's rampant profane language.

"You Crud! You Make Me Want To Beat Your Ears In!"...

From Director Umberto Lenzi, VIOLENT NAPLES follows Inspector Betti (Maurizio Merli) as he hunts down a vast assortment of scumbags, thugs, and other ne'er-do-wells. His quest leads him into the darkest depths of the drug-fueled underworld, where he uses a little police brutality to take care of the criminal element.

As crime-thrillers go, this is a great one. As its hero, Merli is tough, brave, and unstoppable on his mission to shut down the mob. The bad guys are quite colorful in a vile sort of way. One classic scene involves two of these psycho crooks who pick the wrong people to rob with tragic / hilarious results! Also, the scenes of motorcycles roaring through the streets of Naples are exhilarating!

Co-stars John Saxon as a seemingly mild-mannered businessman who is actually mixed up with a figure known as 'O' Generale (Barry Sullivan).

Hyper-violent and relentless, this is one of the best movies Lenzi ever made...
