O kamikazi tsantakias (1982)
Pleasant yet typical Greek 80's movie.
I recently became reacquainted with Greek movies and I came across this oddball comedy about motorcycle purse snatchers. It was your typical mild Greek 80's comedy complete with tacky 80's porn soundtrack. It was delightful to see Sotiris Moustakas at his silly best but the scene stealer was Antonis Papadopoulos as Fotis. It was a great nostalgic trip. The basic premise was Moustakas, as Pericles working hard to get his brother through medical school. The money needed eventually had to be raised through bag snatching which was done as a hit and run using motorbikes. The gang members all were disguised with ridiculous long haired wigs. It was corny, it was camp and it was a hell of a lot of fun. They don't make cheap and tacky movies like this anymore.
