5/10 The Scorpion with Two Tails 1982 The Great Alligator 1979 Island of the Fishmen 1979 4/10 Casablanca Express 1989Red=Non-HorrorPick a film or two from what you have seen that would you recommend to someone who was curious in delving into his work?Torso is a definite. A brutal giallo. But I also think you can’t go wrong with ‘All the Colors of the Dark’, ‘Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key’ and ‘The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh.’ I’ll lean towards ‘All the Colors of the Dark’ for its surreal quality and feverish mystery with Edwige Fenech caught in the middle.   |

Watched around 7 out of 56 titles, according to Letterboxd.
While a familiar sounding name, I was surpised to only see so few of the ones I had viewed.
Anyway, here is how I would rate/rank the ones I do have seen:
7/10
2019: After the Fall of New York (1983)
6/10
Hands of Steel (1986)
Torso (1973)
5/10
American Rickshaw (1989)
A Man Called Blade (1977)
3/10
Island of the Fishmen (1979)
1/10
The Fishmen and Their Queen (1995)
Got a whole lotta fun out of his 80s post-apocalyptic releases, specially After the Fall of New York, while Hands of Steel is another that is also boosted by an incredible catchy and surprisingly emotional score.
Torso I have not seen for a long time, might climb up some with another go, but below that, I feel there is not much I would bother to consider re-visiting again.
Hated both of of the Fishmen films, specially the last, due to a very pricy DVD double, purchased last fall, and it seemed like it was falsly promoted as a Piranha or Humanoids from the Deep similar sleazy ride, and well, it was just one part snooze fest, the other more of a horrible children film.
If I had to recommend one, I guess my pick would be the cheesy as hell but very wild ride that is 2019: After the Fall of New York, and might just be one of the most enjoyable of the many italian rip-offs of Mad Max and of course Escape from New York.
