Mad Dog (1984)

Mad Dog aka Manhunt (1984)


Southern outlaws, Italian style!  A cowboy has his horses stolen by crooked rancher Ernest Borgnine.  He gets arrested and jailed by corrupt warden Henry Silva, escapes, crashes cars, and is recaptured over several occasions.

I wasn't sure what the cowboy's motivations were, seeing as the charges for escape, evading, destruction of property, kidnapping, and aggravated assault would get him much more than the year and a half he was originally sentenced to.  Turns out that's how the law works in Oklahoma - he shows the corrupt warden his receipt and his sentence is commuted and all other charges are dropped.

I'm sure there's more, but this is the only Italian copy of the rednecks-crashing-cars genre I can think of.  I miss car crashes.
