"Le Porno Killers" has definitely an awesome title,but fails to deliver both violence and an abundance of sleaze.This tedious bore features two female agents(one of them is Carmen Russo of "Patrick Still Lives" fame)who go after Vassilli Karis.First of all the title is completely misleading,because there are no porno scenes and no killers in this flick.At least beautiful Carmen Russo provides some full-frontal nudity.First we see her sunbathing nude then she gets up to walk across the yard buck-naked.Then she takes a shower with her female co-star and they engage in a truly fantastic lesbian scene.Finally we see her in a menage-a-trois totally nude on the bed then briefly getting up.Still the film is pretty light on sleaze and the action is deadly dull.Only for tolerant fans of Italian smut.4 out of 10.

Misleading Title-Disappointing Film...
EVOL66623 March 2010
Warning: Spoilers
By the title-I was hoping for a sex-and-violence extravaganza. Needless to say, I was sorely mistaken. My copy of LE PORNO KILLERS has no subs/dubs-so I have no idea about most of the finer-points of the film.
From what I could gather-two female hit-women are sent from NY to I guess Italy to kill somebody. As the story plays out, the girls get nekkid and have a fair amount of (un- graphic) sex with some men and each other...
The two female leads are hot and do show a good bit of skin-which is the only saving- grace at all in this one. Maybe if I'd have been able to follow the storyline I would have enjoyed it more-but I doubt it. And unfortunately-some decent nudity wasn't enough to save this one for me. Worth a look to rare sexploit completists-otherwise not worth the effort in my book. 4/10

A lot more porno than killing

Two sexy female assassins (kind of a homicidal version of "Charlie's Angels") are sent from "New York City" (actually the poolside opening scene looks much more like it takes place at a sunny Italian villa)to kill a man. The plot has something to do with a drug rip-off. Whatever storyline this has though is quickly rendered inconsequential by the numerous long sex scenes that bring the action to a screeching halt every ten minutes or so. Before they even START looking for their man, for instance, the two assassins have a farewell orgy in "New York" with their two adoring boy-toys, then with each other in the shower of their Rome hotel room.
The "plot" here is as about as convincing as your average hardcore porn flick of that era ( kind of like the John Holme's "Johnny Wadd" films that were hilariously parodied in "Boogie Nights"). Actually, the version I saw even had some hardcore footage. While the actual penetration shots were obviously inserts, I was impressed that they could even come CLOSE to finding a convincing body double for Carmen Bizet (aka Carmen Russo), one of the co-leads. Russo was built like "Jessica Rabbit" come to life (and seemingly without the benefit of plastic surgery). Her bust size was easily twice her waist size and she had a very nice "A" to go with her impressive "T's". She was never in a good movie in her entire career (including this one), but she might be most remembered for her half-naked catfight with the equally voluptuous Mariangela Giordano in "Patrick Lives Again" or her nude satanic dancing in the ridiculous "Ring of Darkness". As I said Russo's hardcore scenes here are obviously doubled, but the drool-inducing softcore scenes are all her.
This movie is not available yet in English. The Italian version I saw had white-on-white Spanish subtitles that I gave myself a migraine trying to read. But trust me, the dialogue here is even less important than the plot. I wouldn't recommend this to most people, but if you're a Carmen Russo fan, I'm sure wild horses won't keep you away.

You'll yawn,see some sex then yawn some more,repeat until The End

Having hoped this would of turned out to be a low grade trash gem along the lines of Giallo a Venezia.I was sadly let down as its barely even a thriller,its purely a shot on the road location skin flick with a few crimes thrown in our pair come across on their travels like a knife wielding guy.The plot as it is,vaguely resembles a cross between Mario Bava's Rabid Dogs and Thelma and Louise with a very slight Russ Meyer feel of lets just get naked because we've got a few ample sized lead actresses.
Its gotta be noted that this was directed by Roberto Mauri who made Le Notti della violenza/Night of Violence one of the very 1st Italian giallo films.Which makes it even more sad that he ended up making crude junk like this.That said there's lots of sex to keep exploitation fans happy just hope they wasn't expecting anything from the plot,A tiring travelogue of sex and crime,something that shouldn't be this boring but it is.I gave this a below average [3 out of 10]

Dull, dull, dull... did I mention it's dull?

Supertrashy giallo with a porno twist? Nope, that makes it sound far too good - it's in no way a giallo, try super-bad and boring action/thriller with sad hardcore scenes and ugly performers... Kind of reminded me of some of Franco's worst 1980s films, but at least they have some kind of spirit and experimentation over them, this is just dull in every way. I can't imagine anyone getting a kick out of this piece of crap, even those who usually likes to explore the lower slums of Cinecitta. Couldn't even sit through the whole thing - avoid by all cost, unless you're a really anal completist who wants to check it off your list. What a sad way for Roberto Mauri to end his career - his not a well known Italian director but I like the other films i've seen from him, a Kommisar X, the trashy fun King of Kong Island, some westerns and adventure films.
