Incrediblystrange

Incredibly Strange & flicks.co.nz present Gone With the Pope starring Duke Mitchell as Paul, a gangster with an unholy scheme: to kidnap the pope and charge "a dollar from every Catholic in the world" as the ransom. Shot in 1975 under the title Kiss the Ring as a follow-up to the ultra-violent crime saga Massacre Mafia Style, Gone With the Pope remained unfinished at the time of Duke Mitchell's death in 1981.

Sage Stallone and Bob Murawski of Grindhouse Releasing rediscovered Gone With the Pope in 1995 and vowed to save it from obscurity. Academy Award-winning film editor Murawski (The Hurt Locker, Spiderman 1, 2 & 3) spent 15 years completing Gone With the Pope from the surviving film elements. This labour of love has resulted in what we consider the best film of 2010 and one of the greatest films of all time. Do not miss this one!
