Meat Is Meat (1971)

Forcibly ejected from the asylum where he's spent three years for slapping a customer with a slab of meat, a Viennese butcher (rotund Victor Buono from Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte) uses his grinder to turn enemies into sausages in Lo strangolatore di Vienna, a gore-free Italian/German horror comedy from 1971. Brad Harris (The Fury of Hercules) is a newspaper reporter sniffing around the butcher shop, while Karin Field from Radley Metzger's The Alley Cats is Buono's bosomy neighbor. It was co-written by Dick Pieces Randall, who also plays a cop and ​later produced director Guido Zurli's Ajita Wilson clunker Black Deep Throat. Zurli's Buono bologna was later distributed in the U.S. as Meat Is Meat and The Mad Butcher by Harry Novak's Boxoffice International.
