Here's one of my favorites, based on a true story. If it isn't a Poliziotteschi, it is directly adjacent to the genre. I would consider it in the genre, but perhaps open to debate. It also challenges some of the reviewer's preconceptions:
>On the other hand, if I had seen any of these films back then, I would almost certainly have hated them. Poliziotteschi is the most politically incorrect subgenre I can think of – invariably right-wing, vigilante violence, rife with appalling misogyny, racism & homophobia – very much the opposite of my tender 1970s feminism and Rock against Racism sensibilities. But seen at a safe temporal remove – forty years later, for example – they’re brilliant, full of amazing action and astonishing car chases, and viewers can reassure themselves (not entirely justifiably, because plus ça change) that they’re looking at primitive social and sexual mores through the lens of a more enlightened era.
