Info:

Naples...

Cigarette smuggler Aldo is finally tired of being used by Don Enrico. He has long dreamed of being at the top himself and leaving his miserable life as a simple errand boy behind him forever. He takes his fate into his own hands and decides to betray his boss. But the game is found out... Aldo is almost beaten to death by Don Enrico's thugs and banished from the city. He meets the beautiful Luciana and their love seems perfect. However, Aldo's inner demons gradually resurface...

His former desire for wealth and revenge on Don Enrico transforms the young man into a bloodthirsty killing machine who will stop at nothing to achieve his goal.

Joe Dallesandro (THE WILD HORDES; THE CRUEL THREE) is back in the role he does best! He is Aldo! A beast in human form who makes his psychotic thoughts come true. HARLEY RIDERS – THEY KNEW NO MERCY is a rare gem of Italian gangster and mafia films... still completely underrated today!
