What Bronson started, Brynner finishes! In his final film role, The King & I’s Yul Brynner stars as a steel-eyed ex-hitman coaxed out of retirement for one last job – find & kill the man who murdered his brother. Along the way he crosses paths with a young crook who wants to learn the trade (Italian pop singer Massimo Ranieri), a sexy stripper who could be the key to his happiness (New Bev fave Barbara Bouchet) and a nosy detective who might already know too much (Martin Balsam). Cannibal Apocalypse’s Antonio Margheriti directs, filling every frame of Death Rage with a palpable sense of tough guy cool, turning a low budget crime thriller into a great night out at the movies.
