Borsalino & Co. is a 1974 French crime film directed by Jacques Deray and starring Alain Delon. It is the sequel to the 1970 hit Borsalino.

The story follows Siffredi, a powerful Marseille gangster in the 1930s, who seeks revenge after his friend Capella is murdered. He learns that Volpone ordered the killing and starts a gang war. After a brutal early defeat, Siffredi is humiliated and ends up in a psychiatric hospital, but he escapes to Italy and rebuilds a new gang. Three years later he returns to Marseille, frees his lover Lola from a brothel, and wipes out Volpone’s men. He captures Volpone with help from a coerced police commissioner, publicity follows, and a new police chief allows Siffredi to finish Volpone. Volpone tries to flee to Germany but is caught on a train and killed by being locked in a locomotive’s firebox. Siffredi then sails to the United States with Lola and his crew.

Filming took place from March 29 to June 25, 1974, and the movie runs 110 minutes. It earned about 1.7 million admissions in France and was not as successful at the box office as the first film.
