Pcp is unexplainedly released into the Frankfurt water supply and sends the zoo inhabitants crazy. One evening after a malfunction of zoo security the gonzo critters rampage through the city eating and killing whatever they fancy, wreaking a night of bloody terror. It's up to regular Italian-trash whipping girl Lorraine De Selle and obnoxious Super Mario lookalike zookeeper John Aldrich to sort it out.
Containing numerous jaw-dropping scenes of animal attacks in urban locations you have to wonder how exactly Prosperi pitched this to the Germans. Would you let a cheeta off the leash on one of your streets in traffic? The story doesn't really hold up to too much scrutiny, but It Is one of the last great Italian gore movies and really couldn't be done today without cgi, and that would take all the fun out of it now wouldn't It?
My Italian is sketchy but I'm sure there is a text disclaimer at the start that state no animals were harmed in the film, but what they really mean is no expensive ones so be prepared for about 100 live rats eating a real cat, before being set on fire with a flamethrower, and then the poor survivors stomped to death, and a scene at a corral where big cats jump on and then devour loads of terrified cattle and pigs in thier pens. Talk about shooting fish in a barrel. Prosperi was one of the co-directors of the original Mondo Cane which set the tone for all subsequent Shockumentaries so these tactics come as no suprise and are probably why the film has never had distribution in the UK or America.
