Interesting facts

Double Game, also known as Violent Turin, is a 1977 poliziotteschi film. The film is directed by Carlo Ausino and stars George Hilton.

Production

Double Game was made because director Carlo Ausino was unable to find a distribution deal for his previous film "Prima che il sole tramonti" (1976) and so he asked the producers for advice. Poliziotteschi films about violent cities were popular at the time (Violent Rome, Violent Naples) and the producers were aware that Carlo lived in Turin so they asked him to make a crime film called "Torino violenta" to recoup the lost money.

The production had some difficulties along the way. The first major problem was locating the cars to be used as police cars in the film. The crew had to use cars from a wrecking yard that were unable to go very fast and director Carlo Ausino used camera tricks to make them appear to be going much faster.
