Also known as The Executioner and Like Father, Like Son, this wonder of seventies crime cinema was the brainchild of recording artist and entertainer Duke Mitchell as his own tribute to The Godfather, inspired by his own decades of experience in Night Clubs where he ended up rubbing shoulders with far more colorful characters than Mario Puzo ever could.

Terror reigns when Mimi (Duke Mitchell), the son of a deported Don, along with his associate Jolly Rizzo (a character inspired by Jilly Rizzo) wage a bloody war for control of the West Coast underworld, battling hordes of hard-boiled mobsters and deadly black pimps on their rise to the top!

Fashioned from a shoestring budget with Duke Mitchell as the sole writer, producer, director and star, Massacre remains a prime influence on postmodern filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino and continues to wow audiences with it's own unique brand of Mafia mayhem.

This special edition two-disc release, available exclusively in a limited edition, represents the first authorized worldwide DVD release approved by Jeffrey "Duke" Mitchell and is packed with rare and never-before-seen background material on the film's legendary creator.
