Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Man on Blu-ray – Available May 20!

Raro Video is set to release a Blu-ray edition of the notorious Italian action film Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Man on May 20. Directed by the legendary Ruggero Deodato, this 1976 classic stars Marc Porel, Ray Lovelock, Adolfo Celi, Franco Citti, and Silvia Dionisio. Known for its audacious opening motorcycle chase through Rome, filmed without the clearance from local authorities, this movie is notable for its raw and unrelenting portrayal of law enforcement.

The film distinguishes itself with its unique depiction of violence and justice, featuring characters Alfredo (Marc Porel) and Antonio (Ray Lovelock), members of an uncompromising anti-crime squad. Under the creative collaboration of screenwriter Fernando Di Leo, these characters redefine brutality and make for a gripping plot that has been referenced by filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino in Kill Bill: Volume 2.

The new release showcases a 4K restoration, ensuring a visually enhanced experience for audiences who crave vintage cinema with modern quality. Enthusiasts will appreciate the dedication to film history within the special features accompanying this edition.
