After serving two years in prison, Ricco Aversi (Christopher Mitchum) has just one thing on his mind: revenge. The angry ex-con joins forces with a beautiful but mysterious grifter (Barbara Bouchet) and goes looking for Don Vito (Arthur Kennedy), the brutal drug lord who had Ricco's mob kingpin father killed so he could move in on his turf. But before he can face Don Vito, Ricco must defeat his guards in this bloody gangster film.

Is trash, but trash you can feel good about watching...
Ricco the Mean Machine is a throwback to when men could smack women around if they talked back too loud. In other words, it has a broad appeal to cultural anthropologists, ironic hipsters, bad movie buffs, and chauvinist pigs.
If you're feeling nostalgic for some 1970s Euro-sleaze, Ricco the Mean Machine is a guilty pleasure for stoners eager to revisit the land of shag carpeting, bellbottoms, and free love.
