Syndicate Sadists, also known as Rambo's Revenge and One Just Man (in original Italian, Il Giustiziere sfida la città) is a 1975 poliziotteschi film. This film by Umberto Lenzi was one of the director's many work in the crime thriller genre. It stars Joseph Cotten and Tomas Milian.

[edit] Plot

Milian plays Rambo, an ex-cop who seeks revenge against two powerful crime families who were responsible for the murder of his friend. The protagonist's name may startle some movie aficionados, who will readily notice how the release of the movie actually predates Ted Kotcheff's First Blood. Tomas Milian happened to read David Morrell's novel while flying from the U.S. to Rome. Loving the story he tried to talk some Italian producers in making a movie out of it, with him starring as John Rambo. In one of moviedom's many bad decisions nothing came out of it, so he was allowed to use the Rambo moniker in the next poliziottesco he starred in.
