　　剧情讲的是一个邋遢的警察，在一次日本歌舞妓艺人遇害现场，偶然的继承了神奇的力量，化身为古怪的歌舞伎大侠，惩罚邪恶，片中充满了西方人对东方文化的错误理解以及粗糙暴力的流血场面，我看得热血沸腾，简直无心去干别的了．

　　The In-Laws is a hilarious action comedy starring 5-time Emmy Award winner Peter Falk (Columbo, The Brink’s Job, The Princess Bride) as CIA agent Vincent Ricardo and Golden Globe winner Alan Arkin (Catch-22, Grosse Pointe Blank) as dentist Sheldon Kornpett. Sheldon is a dentist from New Jersey, Vincent travels a lot on business. Sheldon’s got a successful practice and Vincent’s got a dubious past. In 48 hours Vincent’s son is marrying Sheldon’s daughter and what happens in between will bring them together for better or worse. Arthur Hiller (Love Story) directs the car chases, gunfights and witty one-liners, extracting perfect chemistry between the two leads as they adventure across South America together.

　　Fernando Di Leo's "Milano Calibro 9" is an out-and-out masterpiece of Italian Crime cinema and, in my opinion, one of the most astonishing crime stories ever told. The first film in Di Leo's excellent 'Milieu' trilogy, "Milano Calibro 9" was followed by "La Mala Ordina" (aka. "Manhunt", also 1972) and the brilliant "Il Boss" (1973). The three films are not connected story-wise, but all three are excellent, and highly realistic portrayals of organized crime. As far as I am concerned "Manhunt" is (allthough excellent) slightly inferior to this one and "Il Boss" which both stand out as absolute all-time highlights of crime cinema. "Milano Calibro 9" is the best of them all, a film that is astonishing in all aspects, be it the ingenious plot that, apart from a compelling story and clever twists, includes social criticism, the performances, the gritty atmosphere and suspense or the brilliant score. I can hardly find the right words to express my admiration for this masterpiece which easily ranks among the greatest Gangster flicks ever brought to screen.
　　Gastone Moschin stars as Ugo Piazza, a tough and elliptical ex-convict who has just been released from prison. Immediately after his release, Ugo is approached by members of the Milan mob lead by the irascible gangster Rocco (Mario Adorf), as they suspect him to be responsible for the disappearance of a large sum of money belonging to their boss, an American (Lionel Stander) who controls the organized crime in Milan...
　　"Milano Calibro 9" is a film that delivers an astonishingly realistic mood of the underworld like hardly another. The intriguing storyline goes in hand with interesting characters, raw atmosphere, suspense and breathtaking action, social criticism and brutal violence. The film is simply stunning from the beginning to the end, which is even intensified by the brilliant score, a collaboration of the famous composer Luis Enríquez Bacalov and the Italian Progressive Rock band Osanna. Ugo Piazza must be one of the most charismatic gangster characters ever in cinema, and Gastone Moschin was the prefect choice for the role. Moschin delivers a brilliant performance, and the rest of the cast is also great. Mario Adorf is irascible like a rabid dog as the ferocious gangster Rocco, a role that fits him like a glove. The great Lionel Stander fits perfectly in his role of the American Mafia Don.
　　The two cop characters in the film are played by two of the greatest regulars of Italian genre-cinema, Luigi Pistilli and Frank Wolff (who committed suicide before the film was released). The ravishing Barbara Bouchet is astonishing and incredibly sexy in the role of Ugo Piazza's stripper girlfriend. Bouchet is both a stunning beauty and an excellent actress and this is doubtlessly one of her most memorable roles. This is also a political film and director Di Leo embedded a lot of social criticism about topics like corruption. This film simply has everything one can possibly desire in cinema. Films like "Milano Calibro 9" are the reason why I love cinema. This is an absolute masterpiece in all regards and, without exaggeration, one of the greatest Crime flicks ever made! The ingenious opening scene alone is more memorable than most films get in two hours.

　　本片改编自古龙笔下经典小说《多情剑客无情剑》，由楚原导演兼编剧，狄龙饰「小李飞刀」李寻欢；在新派武侠片高潮时期，「古龙．楚原．狄龙」为著名的铁三角。楚原是将古龙武侠小说搬上银幕最多的导演，亦被古龙公认楚拍片比自己写书更快，而狄龙则是主演楚原影片最多的男星。另有傅声饰「左手神刀」荆无命，尔冬升饰大侠阿飞，井莉饰李寻欢表妹林诗音，谷峰饰金钱帮帮主上官金虹，楚湘云饰迷倒阿飞的林仙儿。
　　本片号称楚原导演的第一百部，仍是他近年例牌的古龙式武侠片，当然谈不上突破性新意，不过楚原无疑拍得比较落力。如果你对古龙式忧郁醉侠、楚原式"枫"花雪月，以及两者的新旧综合体文艺腔尚未厌倦的话，此片倒也有点娱乐性。楚原以前拍过《多情剑客无情剑》（即小李飞刀），不过只是拍到原着的前半部，本片是后半部，电视则上下两辑都已播过。
　　小李飞刀，例不虚发，他又是文质彬彬的君子，极重情义，因而轻易上当，失家失恋，成为酗酒怀旧的"呕血诗人"，这病君在武侠世界的确有点特别。
　　上集的大波折过去后，本片开始时，狄龙扮演的小李悄然回到爱侣故园之旁隐居，遥对窗中倩影，而不相见，直至发生危机，小李才露面相告，并且挺身赴难。旧情人的重逢，是在雪夜，楚原拍出一点哀怨情调，而全片都有着此种无可奈何。
　　这段旧情在本片只是点到即止，并没有拖泥带水，全片仍以奇情冒险为主。有不少高手为争"武林排名"而找小李决斗，小李又要对付恶势力庞大的帮主谷峰，因此比武场面甚多，并不沉闷。
　　情节的主线是小李找寻旧友阿飞相助，但阿飞被阴险美女林仙儿所迷，简直变成废人，小李于是揭破这女人的假面目，并且设法使阿飞振作起来，剧情不乏趣味。若说上集描写友情被骗的话，本片就是描写爱情被骗。
　　尔冬升扮演被纯情迷惑了的阿飞，楚湘云扮演林仙儿（上集是井莉），此外，岳华和刘永串演好名而义气的高手，罗烈则扮演鬼马浪人，形象都搞得不错。当然，更突出的是傅声扮演的帮会杀手，他的右手之谜颇有意外戏剧性。
　　本片剧情和人物都丰富，不过故事不及上集完整，而且未看过上集或原着的话，对人物关系就有点莫名其妙。幸而楚原把原着大加删削，剧情发展尚算流畅热闹，而布景和摄影也特别用心，视觉上相当瑰丽。
　　然而严格来说，楚原虽然落力，但显着地缺乏新招了。武打方面尤其熟口熟面，狄龙分别与岳华、刘永的比武，尚有点巧妙，其他则越搞越乱，最弊的是两大高手谷峰和傅声合战狄龙，竟然笨手笨脚，全无高招，完全不合水平。小李飞刀飞到象乒乓球似的折射，也有点失真。
　　楚原拍古龙其实已经颇为麻木，只是勉强打起精神，但有时会一下子失去感觉，象针刺麻醉似的。前作《英雄无泪》的赵雅芝，自斩一腿，仍能从容地单腿跳走，今次尔冬升临尾被长剑贯胸，也跟没事人一样生猛，大讲大做，此乃导演感官麻木的最佳证明。本片结尾就此散晒。
