Cauldron Films debuts the worldwide release of Ricco: The Mean Machine on Blu-ray, restored from a 4k scan of the original, uncut negative and featuring new and archival extras.

Ricco Aversi (Chris Mitchum) emerges from a short prison sentence to find that Don Avito (Arthur Kennedy), the ruthless smuggler who murdered his father, has also stolen his girlfriend. With the help of the ravishing petty thief, Scilla (Barbara Bouchet), he makes his way through the dastardly cast of characters who betrayed him in a legendary fury of blood-drenched vengeance.

Famously marketed as Cauldron of Death in the United States, Ricco is from veteran Italian director Tulio Demicheli (Assignment Terror, Sabata The Killer) and features a long list of familiar faces including Eduardo Fajardo (Django) and Malisa Longo (Urban Warriors), along with all the action you have come to expect from the genre.

Directed by Tulio Demicheli, Ricco the Mean Machine stars Christopher Mitchum, Barbara Bouchet, Malisa Longo, Eduardo Fajardo, Manuel Zarzo, José María Caffarel, Ángel Álvarez, Arthur Kennedy, Paola Senatore, Luis Induni, Tomás Blanco, Víctor Israel, José Canalejas, Luigi Antonio Guerra and Rina Franchetti.
