Giubbe rosse / Red Coats (internationally released as Cormack of the Mounties, Killers of the Savage North, Red Coat and Royal Mounted Police) is a 1975 Italian adventure film co-written and directed by Joe D'Amato. It is part of a brief series of films that tried to market the commercial success of Lucio Fulci's White Fang presenting very similar plots and settings. D'Amato co-wrote the film with writer/actor Luigi Montefiori (a.k.a. George Eastman), who went on to star in a dozen or more D'Amato films.
It was the first film that Aristide Massaccesi signed with his stage name Joe D'Amato.
Cormack, a tough Mountie, once jailed a vicious criminal named Cariboo. When Cariboo breaks out of the prison, he returns to Cormack's district of the Canadian wilderness, seeking revenge on the lawman who sent him to jail.
The film was released on DVD in Italy on 22 November 2016 by "CG Entertainment" in the "Cinekult" series.
