Yes, everyone can talk about All the Colors of the Dark and Torso, but let’s get deep into Sergio Martino with four of my favorite weird picks from him.
Uppercut Man finds Sergio in Miami, making a boxing movie that isn’t like any other. Ernest Borgnine, Daniel Greene, Mary Stavin, Giuliano Gemma…Crud Buddies have this posted on YouTube.
American Rickshaw is the most perfect of all late Martino movies: shower sex with the jeans on, rickshaws in Miami, Donald Pleasence as a faith healing warthog…get it from Cauldron Video.
Graffiante desiderio has Sergio going back to the Giallo but also incest and a dummy drop ending. Craving Desire is hard to find but if you’re ready to infest your computer with viruses, go here.
Un orso chiamato Arturo has George Segal and Carol Alt. Yes, in a Sergio Martino movie. It’s on YouTube in Italian, so learn a new language.
