Trivia
All entries contain spoilers

Goofs
The first car that the boys steal, the blue one, is obviously a Fiat, which can clearly be seen by the insignia on its grill. However, the police keep referring to it as a Ferrari throughout the film.

Alternate versions
The British Blu-ray released by Arrow in the Years of Lead box set is censored to remove scenes of lab mice fighting with each other, as required by the BBFC under the auspices of the Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act of 1937. The offending footage is replaced by a black screen which plays over the soundtrack. The Blu-rays will, however, play the uncensored version if the player is set to a region other than B.

One of my faves!

Maestro Vittorio Solerno's raven dark poliziottesco 'Savage Three' exposes the increasingly bestial proclivities of three workmates, headed by handsome hedonistic brute Ovidio (Joe Dallesandro). Spending the days working anonymously for a modern-looking data collection firm but spending their nights perpetrating myriad barbarous acts of arbitrary violence. Savage Three are not political upstarts, their spontaneous campaign of cruelty, blithely orchestrated to assuage the monotony of a dour, stultifying regimented office life. These ruthless crimes drawing the attention of laconic commissario Santaga (Enrico Maria Salerno), an idiosyncratic sleuth whose hunch that the grisly killing spree is the work of amateur thrill killers marking him out to be an eccentric maverick! The dogged Santega's unerring gut instinct leads him ever closer to the inscrutable Ovidio, his psychotic debaucheries, exploding in a final, fatal act of stomach-churning savagery from which there is no return. Solerno's disturbingly brutal narrative, while remarkably explicit, has a profound intelligence, giving The Savage Three an emotional gravitas that feels uncomfortably relevant even today.
