Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Sergio Sollima said in an interview that Oliver Reed was good to work with until 2 or 3 in the afternoon because then his alcoholism would become difficult to work with. Star Fabio Testi also expressed that it was both exciting and difficult to work with Reed due to his alcoholism, and he would become violent on the set on many occasions.
- GoofsIn one scene Fabio Testi's character refers to Paola Pitagora's character as Paola instead of Carlotta.
- Crazy creditsIn the Italian and French versions of the opening credits, the film's theme song, "Un Ami", is sung in French by Daniel Beretta, while the International version uses an instrumental version of the song.
- Alternate versionsThe French version is 39 seconds shorter than the Italian and International versions, and removes two brief moments:
- Milo commenting on the Sicilian kidnappers' "thorough sweep" of the area prior to taking his and Vito's pictures.
- Vito telling the French police that he is being set up as a lunatic by the kidnappers to discredit his statements.

Featured review
If you are a fan of Sergio Sollima then I don't have to tell you that you will enjoy this film. I am so glad that I have discovered Italian action films from the 1960s and 1970s. I only wish that I could see some of these films on the big screen. There is something special about these films.
Revolver takes the viewer on a sort of chase. There is elements of mystery and action, but during the course of the film the relationship between the two
characters, played by Oliver Reed and Fabio Testi, evolves in a way that brings in drama into the story. Like Sollima's other films, there is fast paced action, violence, and a little bit of sex.
There is a gray area between who is good and bad, and that is something
Sollima has stated in interviews. In fact he has said that he has always been a fan of bad guys because sometimes the good guys mess things up more in the
end then the bad guys. He shows that in Revolver.
