Massacre Mafia Style
''Massacre Mafia Style'' (also known as ''The Executioner'' or ''Like Father, Like Son'') is a 1974 independent film written, directed and produced by Italian-American crooner-actor Duke Mitchell. The tagline for the film was ''"You’re IN, or you’re IN THE WAY."''〔() “Massacre Mafia Style” – The Grindhouse Database〕
''Massacre Mafia Style'' was written, produced, self-financed and directed by the one-man-band known as Duke Mitchell, and was clearly accumulated from all of his real-life run-ins with similar characters and mob stories.〔() TCM Underground “Massacre Mafia Style” by Nathanial Thompson, May 31, 2013〕〔() Blu-ray.com “Massacre Mafia Style Blu-ray Detailed”, December 2, 2014〕 Duke Mitchell was an actor and singer (providing the singing voice of Fred Flintstone in The Flintstones cartoons)〔() The Flintstones Shorts - (Duke Mitchell sings as Fred Flintstone) "When the Saints Go Marching In"〕〔() The Flintstones Shorts - (Duke Mitchell sings as Fred Flintstone) "Listen to the Rockin' Bird"〕 and was once part of a comedy duo with partner Sammy Petrillo who together starred in the 1952 cult film ''Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla'' with Bela Lugosi of ''Dracula'' fame.〔() Trailers From Hell - Director Joe Dante on "Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla"〕〔 The pair whose act was imitative of Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin were sued by Lewis after the Lugosi film was released.〔() New York Times "Sammy Petrillo, Comedian" Obituary, By DENNIS HEVESI, August 24, 2009〕 Mitchell went on to become a well-known crooner and nightclub act in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and as such, was known as the “King” of Palm Springs and ran in some of the same circles as pal Frank Sinatra.〔 His nightclub act revolved around his Sinatra-like crooning and rockabilly Italian-American songs. With such behind-the-scenes access, Mitchell often used several of the nightclubs that he sang in as locations for his films; such places as ''The Buggy Whip'' in Los Angeles.
Mitchell would use the money he made singing to fund his independent films, becoming one of the first in a long line of truly independent, self-taught filmmakers. Several of Mitchell’s projects never saw the light of day, including his next film ''Gone with the Pope'' which only existed as a work print when it was found in a garage by Grindhouse Releasing’s Bob Murawski and Sage Stallone. It was carefully restored and released theatrically in 2011 by Grindhouse Releasing, which has also restored and released Mitchell’s ''Massacre Mafia Style'' on Blu-ray in 2015.
==Plot==
The film opens with an over-the-top violent sequence depicting the massacre of an entire office building's worth of inhabitants to the tune of one of Duke Mitchell’s upbeat Italian-American songs, executed so merrily, that it was used as the film’s theatrical trailer.〔 Duke Mitchell plays Mimi Miceli, the son of a high-powered mafia don Mimi, a first generation Italian-American who has been exiled back to Sicily for his crimes in America. The don’s son Mimi Jr. wants to get back into the family business and transplant it from New York to the streets of Hollywood, the place of his childhood dreams. Mimi heads to Hollywood where he looks up his old Mafioso buddy, Jolly (Vic Caesar) who he finds tending bar. Jolly doesn’t need much convincing to join Mimi back in a life of crime. Mimi tells Jolly his plan to kidnap one of the West Coast Mafia bosses, Chucky Tripoli (Louis Zito) and hold him for ransom, much-needed cash flow to start Mimi’s takeover. Tripoli is kidnapped and Mimi sends proof (Tripoli’s finger in a jewelry box) to Tripoli’s son and wife (played by Duke Mitchell’s real-life wife, Jo Mitchell). Mimi is back in the life and makes a visit to Tripoli’s daughter’s wedding, giving a toast in the name of Sicily and on behalf of his mafia family. It seems that Mimi’s plan is working as he is tolerated within the West Coast clan, even when he hits on their dates. Mimi goes home with one of the women at the wedding (Cara Salerno) who goes along for the ride. With the blessing of the clan, Mimi attempts to takedown a big time West Coast pimp by the name of Superspook (Jimmy Williams) who runs a hustle with “40 women” in the prime real estate between Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Superspook turns out to not be so easy to take down, as the old ways of Mimi don’t have the same effect on the new hippie generation.〔
