Vices Italiens 1 & 2 review summaries:
Gabriel Nine's
Vices Italiens 1 & 2 Though infamous Italian director Mario Salieri may have acquired a reputation over time for directing elegantly debauched movies shot with great style and attention to detail, this was not always the case, as Vices Italiens (a re-packaging of Sex Camorra, which Id suggest is possibly even older than the 1992 original release quoted by EGAFD) readily proves. This tawdry tale is a rough and ready melodrama, a latter day morality tale trawling the Neapolitan underworld, laden with hammy acting, poorly staged shoot-outs and terribly static camerawork that gives the whole movie the look and feel of a particularly cheap soap opera. Vices Italiens stars Roberto Malone as a degenerate low-level mob boss who, over the course of the two parts and several sleazy scenes, plumbs increasingly desperate depths of depravity.

ROMA CONNECTION Studio: Colmax Run Time: 70.41 minutes Director: Mario Salieri Extras: Trailer , Photo Gallery Date Made: 1991 Video: 4:3 Cast: Angelica Bella (Gabriella Dari) , Deborah Wells , Christoph Clarke , Ashley Nichols , Cristina Stevens Audio: Dolby Digital 2.0 Type: feature Region: 0 (all) Condoms: 0/7 scenes Lingere: 6/7 scenes INTRODUCTION This is an early 90's feature from the famous Italian director Mario Salieri . The first thing to note is that you can watch it in either English or French . Both are dubbed , so as an English speaker you'll gain little by using the French option . The English dub is ... adequate , nothing more . It's a fair deal better than most porn dubbing I've heard , but struggles against the multiple languages the cast must've been using . Some parts are down right hilarious while others are genuinely effective , a really mixed bag . [read the full review]

Title: CKP Director: Mario Salieri Cast: Selen, Joy Karin's, Michela Soavi, Maria Sanchez, Eliana Dante, Judith Rastik, Olivia Del Rio, Nikita, Serena Ippolitit, Mauricia Parker, Federica Silvestri, Elvira Storace, Ekat Porel, Sandy Foster, Emanuala Ponti, Maria Grazia Rovelli, Rosa Gentile, Elia Antonelli, Francesco Malcom, Roberto Malone, Valentino, Don Fernando, Silvio Evangelista, John Walton, Tony Hackster, Danny Moriello, Marco Tidona, Sergio Santini, Massimo Palazzi, Salvadore Cafiero, Sergio Musumeci, Filippo Battaglia, Eric Silvestri, Franck Cremona Note: As usual for Salieri's works, I can't identify many of the players, however one of the actresses is actually Lea Martini. Cut to the chase: This is a movie about the war in Chechnia and families who end up on opposite sides in the conflict. As usual for Salieri, the sex tends to be non-consensual, however the sex scenes are longer than his usual fair. They don't come close to the gonzo standard, but they're usually more than a minute or two. [read the full review]

Concetta contre la Mafia review summaries:

Title: Concetta contre la Mafia Director: Mario Salieri Cast: Selen, Anita Dark, Diana Stevens, Flavio Gioia, Angela Benni, Anna Turchesi, Adelina Pryor, Dalila, Margherita Dominicis, Don Fernando, David Perry, Luigi Salomone, Franck David, Joe Melly, Nicola Torrisi, Joe Calzone, Mario Massetti, Mateo Biseti Note: a change in format - Due to the fact that this is not a gonzo flick, I have revised my usual review formula to (hopefully) deliver the additional information I feel a plot-driven picture requires. Also, this film is dubbed in French, so my observations as to plot are derived from the pictures, not the dialogue. Cut to the chase: This is a movie about the mafia, sex and violence. It is part two of a series, 'Concetta Licata' being the first. I should note that a Salieri sex scene does have a point in the plot, usually an unpleasant one. Salieri's sex scenes also tend to be very short. They're usually about power, or male gratification, or some other unhappy motive. [read the full review]
