获柏林电影节评审团大奖。影片取材于意大利文艺复兴时期薄伽丘的著名小说集《十日谈》，帕索里尼从中挑选了8个（亦有说10个）发生在那不勒斯等意大利南部地区的故事进行拍摄（原著中以佛罗伦萨地区故事为主），这些故事大多以揭露教会虚伪丑恶本质为宗旨，并鲜明地表现了作者对人性解放的肯定态度。　　原著《十日谈》是意大利文艺复兴时期最重要的文学作品之一，它以十四世纪黑死病横行的时期为背景，通过十位青年所讲述的一百个故事，大胆鞭挞了当时天主教会的种种丑行，表现出平民阶层追求自由、摆脱宗教束缚的渴望。这部现实主义风格明显的作品堪称欧洲古典文学的杰作，被后人誉为和但丁《神曲》齐名的 人曲。　　意大利新现实主义影片后期崛起的导演帕索里尼，延续了自己六十年代以古代神话题材警醒当今世人的创作路线，以相对通俗化的手法连续改编拍摄了《十日谈》、《坎特伯雷故事》和《一千零一夜》三部古典名著影片，合称生命三部曲。因为这三部影片中裸露镜头较多，又采用了较为通俗的娱乐片路线，有的电影学者也称之为帕索里尼的色情三部曲。对此帕索里尼本人阐述了自己的创作观点：我向观众表现的是整个世界，封建的世界，在这个世界里，情欲极其深刻而狂热地起着支配一切的作用。……我要推出这个世界并且说：你们可以比较一下，我要向你们表明，我要向你们诉说，我要向你们提醒。

Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately; Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction; but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another.　　The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average; but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!
