Production
Manhunt in the City was filmed at Elios Film in Rome and on location in Milan.[1] Lenzi originally envisioned Claudio Cassinelli in the role that Silva has.[4] Henry Silva and Luciana Paluzzi are paired again, after their performance together in The Italian Connection (1972).
Style
The film is part of vigilante subgenre.[4] The films script overturns initial assumptions where the engineer Vannucchi get manipulated by a fascist lawyer who heads an army of vigilantes and ends up killing the wrong person.[4] Lenzi stated that he desired to make a film in contrast to Enzo G. Castellari's Street Law.[4] The film also has a few elements of the giallo genre, as Silva's hunt for a criminal who wears a bracelet depicting a scorpion.[4]
Release
Manhunt in the City was released in Italy on 8 May 1975 where it was distributed by Titanus.[1] On its theatrical run in Italy, the film grossed 711.5 million Italian lira.[1] According to Lenzi, "censors found it very annoying that in the end the Commissioner, understanding the protagonist's motives that lead to his revenge, lets him go unpunished."[4] The film was issued on DVD in Italy in 2010.[4]
