prison after serving a lengthy term for killing the man who murdered his
wife. Wishing for a peaceful, serene change of pace and a chance to
catch up with his daughter (Valentina Forte, CUT AND RUN), he moves to
rural Georgia to live off the land. Alas, this pastoral existence is
short-lived thanks to a sleazy group of poachers who supply an even
sleazier scientist with live animals for sadistic biological
experiments.
Armed with the superweapon "Blastfighter," he goes on a
bloody rampage against the poachers in this classic Italian revenge
movie, also starring George Eastman (IRONMASTER, THE GRIM REAPER, RABID DOGS) and genre favorites Massimo Vanni and ZOMBI’s Ottaviano
