Death on the Run
Death on the Run (Italian: Bersaglio mobile), also known as Moving Target, is a 1967 Italian Eurospy film directed by Sergio Corbucci. Filmed in Athens, it was referred as a film directed with "whip-along style and dubious sense of humour".
Plot
A handcuffed man named Jason is flown into Athens airport where Inspector Starkis is waiting for him. Jason, however, escapes, unaware that Bulgarian Demetrius is helping him. While searching for his friend Pizza at the Gold Star club, Jason is kidnapped by Demetrius, photographed next to a dead woman, and blackmailed into working for him. Jason infiltrates a prison and removes a tooth from a corpse. He then double crosses Demetrius and takes refuge in a bar. There, he phones Pizza but the phone is bugged by both the police and a mysterious Albanian, who sends two gunmen to kill him. Jason eventually escapes and the gunmen are shot by the police.
