Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Sam Panico Y gets ejected out in the most ridiculous manner possible. Or the most awesome.The Bronx hasn't gotten any better. In fact, it's worse. Now, there is no law, scavengers abound and ammunition is the main currency. But the General Construction (GC) Corporation wants to change all that. Their leader, President Clark (Enio Girolami, Warriors of the Wasteland) wants to tear down the city and build a "city of the future" ala Robocop, but four years before.They offer the people left behind condos in New Mexico, which everyone knows is a lie, just like the jobs on Mars of Total Recall, but seven years earlier.The Disinfestation Annihilation Squad is in town the wiping out anyone who won't leave. Under the direction of former prison warden Floyd Wangler (when you can't get John Saxon, call for Henry Silva), they're wiping out anyone who won't leave. Seriously, it's like Castellari said, "If we can't get big stars like the first one, let's kill everything and everyone in this one." He wasn't joking. This film boasts a death toll of 174, including 110 shootings, 30 blown up real good, 9 set ablaze, one stabbing, one off-screen murder (boo!), according to IMDB 4 unknowns, 6 people fried by electricity, 2 bashed in the face and one smooshed by the back end of a rifle. This movie takes no prisoners.It's up to the gangs of the Bronx to take back the city. Dablone (Antonio Sabato Sr.), who is dressed as a pirate, is the man who can get them all behind the plan - kidnap the President of GC so that he'll have to negotiate with the people of the Bronx. Luckily, they have Moon Gray, a reporter who was born in the Bronx and wants to make a real difference, to help.There's only one man who can go under the city - that's Trash's idea - and make all this happen: Strike, the man who did that big underground bank job and completely wiped Tiffany's out. He doesn't need money anymore. He's hiding in his lair with his kid, Junior, who is apt to call you a fag when you meet him. Yep, this movie was made in the 80's, when we didn't worry about how we talked and were totally insensitive.Of course, even the best plans get screwed up. Wangler kills the President because that was the plan all along. The gangs all get killed, almost to a member (blink and you'll miss the late Italian porn star Moana Pozzi) except for Trash, just like the last film.If only there had been a third one! I guess you can fit Warriors of the Wasteland as there is so much crossover between cast and crew.Trust me - this movie is anything but boring. It makes me so happy to revisit the bonkers world of the 1990 Bronx one more time, even if Trash doesn't talk much and just scowls all the time.There's one moment that sums this whole film up to me: Trash walks past a large window, one big enough to just step inside. Instead, he does a somersault through the window. Why? Who cares!

Aaron1375 I saw this film under the title, "Escape 2000" as an episode of the cult riffing show, Mystery Science Theater 3000. This film is a sequel to a film called, "The Bronx Warriors". Both Italian made films that feature a lot of shots in New York that were probably done without permission and lots of studio shots back in Italy. I am rather surprised the score here is as high as it is, because this film is rather ludicrous! My guess is the "Bronx Warriors" was probably a better film, I mean, it had to be or why make a sequel? Though considering it was Italian made, I am also guessing not much better. Do not get me wrong, I enjoy their horror films and they made some good westerns too, but films like these just did not work as well. It does not help that they try to pass the film off as happening in New York and you end up in the underground which is so European looking it is pathetic! Lots of people flying all over the place due to explosions, lots of nonsensical plot points and lots of dudes with really awesome hair! The story has the Bronx being under siege by a horde of men wearing silver outfits with helmets for no discernible reason whatsoever. Their mission, to rid the Bronx of the gangs by any means necessary! Which means either relocating them to New Mexico or killing them! An evil corporate president wants to build a wonderful city in the Bronx place and wishes to start by building a children's hospital, the animal! Meanwhile, a man named Trash who apparently did something in the previous movie decides to fight back when his folks are killed, but midway through the movie, he becomes almost a secondary hero as another guy comes along to blow things up and help Trash kidnap the president along with a very unattractive news reporter. Sadly, in the end, they really accomplish absolutely nothing, they don't even escape the Bronx.This film made a very funny episode of MST3K. I had never seen this film until now as I was never able to see the show until the sci-fi channel years. So many jokes and I almost could not stop laughing when they first kidnapped the president and began running from the extermination squads and things were blowing up and the bodies were flying! The movie featured a woman reporter who they made fun of her appearance, because she was very vampire and rat looking. It is strange as Italian films either have some of the most attractive women you can see, or they have some of the least attractive on screen! So no, I do not really see why anyone would really like this film. The sets look bad, the action is borderline silly and you endure watching this thing all the way through and you are rewarded with almost a non ending. Perhaps they made a third film as there was still some stuff left unresolved as the president of the company was dead and another guy took his place and the Bronx were kind of littered with bodies, but the key members of the resistance were left alive. Of course, a totally awesome ending would have them going to New Mexico and going, "Hey, this isn't so bad!"

Scott LeBrun Energetic follow-up by director Enzo G. Castellari to his post-apocalypse trash epic "1990: The Bronx Warriors" wasn't long in coming. Mark Gregory reprises his role of super human gang leader Trash, who hooks up with other underground gang members. The omnipotent GC Corporation is now attempting to round up the residents of the Bronx and forcibly "relocate" them. In the company of crusading reporter Moon (Valeria D'Obici) - a truly annoying character - and intrepid guide Strike (Giancarlo Prete), Trash embarks on a mission to undermine the corporation by snatching their boss, Clark (Ennio Girolami), out from under them.In some ways, "Escape from the Bronx" outdoes its predecessor. Fans of Italian post-nuke exploitation will appreciate the wall to wall action, the myriad of explosions, the nonstop onslaught of thoroughly expendable bad guys, the impressive stunts, and the level of violence. Use of locations is excellent, and the look of the picture is just right. The music by Francesco De Masi is good, but it sounds oddly out of tune at times. The pacing is more than adequate, and Castellari (who has an on screen cameo as a mustachioed radio operator) gives the proceedings an undeniably high fun factor.At first, it would seem that the almighty Henry Silva is somewhat wasted in his role as corporation enforcer Floyd Wrangler. But fear not, he does get some juicy Silva-esque moments towards the end, especially when he doesn't get his coffee the way he wants it. Gregory (who's actually dubbed by Steven Luotto) is a hunky plank of wood; Prete is much more engaging in his role. Paolo Malco (as Hoffman), Antonio Sabato (as Dablone), and Romano Puppo (as Trash's father), all add to the movie with their presence. D'Obici is good, even if Moon is overbearing and obnoxious.A guaranteed good time, if one is partial to this kind of entertainment.Seven out of 10.

trashgang There are so many releases of this flick that no-one knows which one has the full uncut. It was stated that the release on EMS in Germany was the best to watch but sadly it wasn't. Shamelss has finally released the full uncut. Don't think that it was worth the wait. It's pure trash and there isn't that much of a story. But still, it has a following. Can't say it's post-apocalyptic, it's just about the bronx being demolished to built a new project on it but the people from the bronx aren't that happy and are kidnapping the president of the new project. Naturally it's also time for some to try to kill the president so they can take over the regime. So there's a lot of shooting and explosions. It's full of cheap effects, people being shot who never bleed or whatsoever. People flying in the air without blood or bruises. Pure trash coming from Italy only for the lovers of the genre.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
