Because when the original entries were made, both films were listed as 1974 on IMDb, but that has since changed. Not sure what's correct - 1974 for both, or 1976 for both? IMDb often gets the years wrong.PeplumParadise wrote: ↑12/05/2024, 16:38I don't think they are the same film. Both feature a teaming of Ruffini and Fineschi, but they are dressed differently and none of the other background actors present in Kidnap in Rome also appear in The Godfather Squad and the oriental titles are distinctly different.
It does look like some of the older entries for Kidnap in Rome have been put with the incorrect year of 1974. The 2 films were almost certainly filmed back-to-back in 1974, but Kidnap in Rome doesn't appear to have been released until 2 years later.
Btw, isn't Jon Chevron in one of these films? I just suddenly seemed to recall that, but maybe I'm misremembering and confusing him with another black actor...
