维斯康提那段讲罗密·施奈德扮演的美丽少妇设计向丈夫报仇，冒充他情妇，让他花钱才能得到她；德西卡的那段讲一个胆小的人赢得一个奖，奖品是跟一个女孩的约会；莫尼切里那段在很多海外版本中均被删除，其风格比较偏传统喜剧，较低调，容易消失在同行的阴影里；但最为出彩的还是费里尼的那段，名为《安东尼博士的诱惑》，讲一个波霸美女从海报上“活”过来，取笑一个道貌岸然的禁欲男子。 　　幕后制作： 　　四位重量级意大利导演用各自的手法捕捉薄伽丘的精神，以罗马为舞台呈现大型世像图。虽然只是部短片，但费里尼却以轻松嘲讽但不失沉重的语气来讲述这个揭露上层阶级虚伪道德观的故事。安东尼博士是个值得探讨的人物，他面对价值崩溃、道德沦丧感到无能为力，妄图以虚伪的面具来掩盖自己内心的欲望，但当巨大的女郎形象从广告中走出与他同乐时，他的本性终于显露。费里尼用梦幻与现实交错的手法同时制造出荒诞与沉重两种调子，极具表现力，在本片中给人印象最为深刻。

Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately; Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction; but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another. 　　The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average; but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!
