Special Cop in Action (Italian: Italia a mano armata, lit.'Italy at gunpoint') is a 1976 Italian poliziottesco film directed by Marino Girolami, here credited as Franco Martinelli.[2] The film is the final chapter in the Girolami's Commissioner Betti Trilogy, after Violent Rome and Violent Naples, though a spin-off in the series entitled Weapons of Death would be released the following year.

The main theme of the film was used in the soundtrack of Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof.[3]
