Lombardo and one gangster get shot. Priest Charlie (Lino Ventura) was a good buddy of Lombardo
so he tries to investigate on his own. While caught in a deadly situation, he meets Lee Stevens, who
saves his life, 'coz they wanted to put Charlie in a melting furnace. They both team up and
investigate together.
 
First of all, the movie soundtrack is incredible, but I'm not telling you anything new.
[[Isaac Hayes]] is one BAD MOTHAFUCKA when it comes to the music. Great mix of Blaxploitation and
Police film. It's an American, Italian and French Co-Production. That's what it makes more
interesting. Lino Ventura is a great actor and seeing him riding the bicycle was fun (haha).
[[Fred Williamson]] couldn't persuade me. His acting seemed as if he was thinking "let's do a film quick and take the
money!". I still have a certain scene in my memory. Lino Ventura is in the church, the Jesus
Christ figure is in front of him and all the guns are on the wall beside the figure. That
looked amazing. I think I need to buy the Soundtrack CD soon, too bad I sold the
vinyl of it some years ago. Whatever...The Three Tough Guys rule!
