Manhunt in Milan (original title La mala ordina ("The bad order"), also released as The Italian Connection, Hired to Kill and Black Kingpin) is a 1972 Italian crime movie directed by Fernando Di Leo. A Milanese pimp Luca Canali (Mario Adorf) suddenly finds himself hunted by two American killers, supported by the local Mafia boss. Luca tries to hide and find out the reason of the hunt, but when his wife and child are murdered, the petty criminal turns into a machine of death.

The movie is the second part of so called Milieu Trilogy by Di Leo, also including Milano calibro 9 (1972) and Il Boss (1973).
