Giubbe rosse / Red Coats (internationally released as Cormack of the Mounties, Killers of the Savage North, Red Coat and Royal Mounted Police) is a 1975 Italian adventure film co-written and directed by Joe D'Amato. It is part of a brief series of films that tried to market the commercial success of Lucio Fulci's White Fang presenting very similar plots and settings.[1][2] D'Amato co-wrote the film with writer/actor Luigi Montefiori (a.k.a. George Eastman), who went on to star in a dozen or more D'Amato films.
It was the first film that Aristide Massaccesi signed with his stage name Joe D'Amato.[1]
Plot
Cormack, a tough Mountie, once jailed a vicious criminal named Cariboo. When Cariboo breaks out of the prison, he returns to Cormack's district of the Canadian wilderness, seeking revenge on the lawman who sent him to jail.
