From director Mario Caiano (Violent Milan), the outstanding 1977 action thriller Weapons Of Death (aka Napoli Spara) makes its worldwide UHD debut on 20th July 2026 as part of StudioCanal's Cult Classics range, with a brand new 4K restoration, fantastic new extras and a booklet. The film is released on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and Digital.

Regarded as a high water mark in the Italian poliziotteschi genre, Naples-set Weapons Of Death stars Italian genre superstar Leonard Mann (Death Steps in the Dark) in perhaps his finest Eurocrime film performance, up against Henry Silva (Ghost Dog) as a ruthless Mafia boss, and also features Ida Galli (The Night Child), and Jeff Blynn (Giallo in Venice).

A breathless ride into the murky depths of a city beset by crime, the film doesn't stint on the action and gory violence (including a particularly nasty beating given to a particularly unsavoury character), not surprising considering it is written by Gianfranco Clerici (Cannibal Holocaust) and Vincenzo Mannino (The New York Ripper); and it delivers superior car chases and stunts, dazzling in the new 4K restoration, and features a fantastic score by Francesco De Masi (Kill Them All and Come Back Alone).

Described by the Grindhouse Cinema Database as "pure Italian action entertainment", Weapons Of Death is a must watch for Eurocrime fans who will never have seen the film look this spectacular.
