Opening title for 'Luca Il Contrabbandiere' aka 'Contraband' (Italy 1980).

'Contraband' (1980) In the midst of Naples’ violent underworld, smuggling is a way of life. Luca Di Angelo, a respected cigarette smuggler, carefully balances his illicit business while protecting his family. But when ruthless drug traffickers from France attempt to muscle in and push heroin into the city, Luca’s tight-knit network is torn apart. Friends are betrayed, brutal massacres erupt, and entire families are targeted in a wave of shocking violence. Determined to strike back, Luca is forced deeper into the world of organized crime than he ever intended, igniting a bloody war against those who would destroy his livelihood. As alliances crumble and corpses pile high, 'Contraband' delivers a grim, unflinching portrait of Naples’ criminal underbelly in true poliziottesco fashion. Credits Director : Lucio Fulci Producers : Luigi De Laurentiis, Ugo Tucci Screenplay : Lucio Fulci, Giorgio Mariuzzo, Gianni De Chiara Story : Lucio Fulci, Gianni De Chiara Cinematography : Sergio Salvati Editing : Vincenzo Tomassi Music : Fabio Frizzi Production Company : Dania Film Cast Fabio Testi as Luca Di Angelo Ivana Monti as Adele Di Angelo Guido Alberti as Don Morrone Marcel Bozzuffi as The Marsigliese Ferdinando Murolo as Michele Saverio Marconi as Carluccio Marino Masé as Police Commissioner Ivano Staccioli as Lawyer Claudio Gora as Don Vito Silvano Tranquilli as Judge Censorship & Controversy 'Contraband' quickly became notorious upon release due to its graphic violence and Fulci’s unflinching depiction of the Camorra’s brutality. Although marketed as a standard crime thriller, the film shocked audiences with scenes of extreme gore more commonly found in horror cinema — including graphic shootings, throat slashings, and a harrowing torture sequence involving acid. Italy: While released domestically, some critics accused Fulci of sensationalism, arguing that the excess of violence overshadowed the narrative of organized crime. United Kingdom: The film became entangled in the video nasty panic of the 1980s, ending up heavily cut for home video release. It was one of the titles cited as evidence of the corrupting influence of violent media. International Reception : In countries like Germany and the United States, distributors trimmed the most explicit sequences for theatrical and VHS releases, though uncut versions eventually circulated among collectors. The controversy ultimately cemented 'Contraband’s' reputation as one of the most violent entries in the 'poliziottesco' genre — a hybrid between crime thriller and splatter film. While some dismissed it as exploitation, others praised it as Fulci’s bold attempt to merge his horror sensibilities with crime cinema, resulting in a uniquely transgressive entry in Italian film history.
