In my opinion, the ratings are somewhat unfair, possibly because they compare the film with current productions. The film is from 1976 and therefore should be measured at the standards of that time and here, I find, it still exceeds the average. The two main actors, Roger Moore and, more specifically, Stacey Keach, are the main reason for this. Some complain about the English dubbing. About this I can say nothing, but I can imagine that a bad dubbing can mess something, or all here. Well, the German Dubbing is very good, both protagonists have the well- known sync voices, Roger Moore, for example, from his James Bond films. Both act as buddies and complement each other excellently, just Keach's role brings loose the film excellently and humorously. The music is better than the beats from other Italian films of the 70s. Also the production and the existing budget is higher. I often read 'low budget film' but as mentioned before, compare it to the standard Italian classic flick and not with an James Bond Production. The two auto- action scenes are very well implemented, also the filming sites was well-considered. Surely we have here no top film belonging to the IMDb Top 250, but in my opinion synonymous not the superfluous film, which is only waste of time. It is a solid, versatile action tiller who can be given a chance. In German its called Abrechnung in San Francisco, meaning Last billing in SF, which suits much better than Street People. A weak 7, but a 7.

This is really a movie which has lost its interest by the time. The actors just seem to drive around like in a mediocre American police-serial. When people are shot, it is by a killer who appears and disappears and is everywhere. When there is a pursuit on the road, by accident three big trucks try to drive Stacey Keach from the road. I prefer Mannix or Kojak. The mafia is typical but described without any details or exactitude. The story has no point and nobody could believe it. Roger Moore is not only a lawyer, he must be also something as an SAS-agent capable of killing any professional killer. Who believes that?

Disjointed gangster film that specializes in pointless "destruction of property" scenes. Roger Moore is badly miscast; he clearly looks uncomfortable to be in an Italian crime movie, and he shows none of his usual flair. Don't go out of your way to see this one. (*1/2)

Aside from the novelty of seeing Roger Moore (as a half-Sicilian!) and Stacy Keach, there really isn't much of interest here. It's mostly people talking - all dubbed. Even Moore and Keach are dubbed! (Using their own voices, which leads to a weird effect) There are a few not-bad chase sequences, but there's a sloppiness to them, as there is to the entire production; this movie really screams, "Italians made this." Bobbing cameras, slightly blurred photography, uses of a zoom lens is more than enough evidence for that. Only for people into Italian cinema of this genre.
