Policía de narcóticos

I have just watched this under it's UK Dubbed title of Occupational Killer which had some wonderful cover-art :) And that's about where the wonderful stops, if you think a 70s Italian crime drama, with a hint of bond and a dollop of the UK TV Series The Professionals you may be starting to get an idea of what to expect from this film.

It's really quite indescribable but I'll have a go at describing the plot.

When a child is kidnapped, gutted and stuffed with drugs terror is on the streets. The cops are out to get the drug lords, but a new vigilante is also on the loose taking out the evil doors before the police can get to them. Could it be someone on the inside of the force? everyone's a suspect! With plenty of shootouts, squib deaths and falling from high places this wont fail to disappoint fans of 'bad' police thrillers, complete with inappropriately funky musical score and opening titles.

Two cops are trying to bust a drug ring that is shipping cocaine to the US inside of corpses. To make matters worse, our leads are always two steps behind a vigilante killer who is offing all of the bad guys with a shotgun (and the problem there is?). Mexico has produced a lot of exploitation cinema (Mexploitation?) but it is rare to find one that was dubbed into English like this one. This is a really enjoyable cop film with such an emphasis on bloody violence that it reminds me of the 70s Italian crime films. Hell, the idea of killing a kid and stuffing his corpse with bundles of cocaine is straight out of the Henry Silva sleaze-fest CRY OF A PROSTITUTE. Naturally, the Mexicans one up the Italians by having the kid's intestines fed to dogs. The only thing missing here is a car chase. Sure the opening credits highlight one, but I suspect it was from an earlier cop film starring lead Valentin Trujillo.
