Nicky Filaki Going through a phase right now of watching all these 80s cult films that i remember as a child. "1990: The Bronx Warriors" would have to be my favourite. The costumes, the overacting, the slow fight scenes, the soundtrack of an overly distorted guitar blaring over a 1980s drum machine, the too easy to follow story lines and predictable endings, the cheap faded face paint, the heavy metal haircuts and the main characters name being "Trash"... With that all said i wouldn't want it any other way, its downfalls keep me glued to the screen. There's crap movies that i don't bother with that make me fall sleep, then there's movies that are so bad they're great.Labelled as a B grade movie it is definitely one of those films that u would've watched as a kid then many years later as an adult you'd be asking yourself and others "what was the name of that movie where the guy has a knife come out of the front of his cowboy boot? No not Roadhouse, it was way before that film".Directed by the Italian director that Tarrantino idolised: Enzo G. Castellari.This film is the daytime version of "The Warriors".If u haven't seen it get a hold of this badass film and thank me later, believe me it will change your life.
kosmasp I am not gonna tell anyone that their favorite childhood memory is actually a nightmare. But if you watch this movie for the first time when you are already an adult (and not to mention have seen a few movies), then this will do nothing for you. Except annoy you. It is actually almost the case of "So bad, it's kinda good". But it only is "So bad, it's actually kinda fun to watch". Though that would be for all the wrong reasons.I know I shouldn't be thinking about those things, but people going through a tunnel instead of just climbing over a bridge (especially considering the fact, that the Bridge option would be the safer one) just isn't going to cut it. The "real" for doing so, is of course because they obviously had no permit to shoot (I'm sure they weren't even allowed to shoot in the tunnels, but who cares, if they weren't caught?). And if you condone that behavior or even endorse it, you won't mind.I actually do not mind either and I salute their heart and dedication. It is also very clear, that they must have the time of their lives on the set. Unfortunately that does not translate into a good movie. Speaking of translation: Since most cast was mixed, with Italians and American actors, there is quite a bit of dubbing going on. The German dub (all actors get German voices) is really terrible. And they even had the "voices" of Kevin Kline, Bruce Willis and other actors who have made it big (since).I had the pleasure of meeting Fred Williamson in person. Apart from the fact, that he is still very fit (over 70 years old now), he wasn't going to trash the movie, instead opting to tell us (at the convention), that "every movie (he) is in, is good"! He didn't comment on the awful wardrobe either ... but that's budget restrictions too ... Was it still necessary to see the main guys breast 80% of the time? I don't think so ...
sol1218 ***SPOILERS*** Futuristic film, released in 1982, about the Boro of the Bronx circa 1990 where crime has gotten so out of hand that the NY City Government abandoned it to its fate. In letting the Bronx get overrun by criminal outlaw biker gangs who made the Bronx into a living hell. It's in that hellhole that a young 17 year old who's to inherit the Manhattan Arms making Corperation Anne Fisher, Stef Girolami, decide to escape to in order not be be made CEO by her pop the cooperation's president Ted Fisher, Enio Girolami. Mr. Fisher who doesn't have long to live plans to make his daughter Anne president before he leaves, by dropping dead, the scene.Anne gets hooked up with biker gang leader Trash, Marco Di Gregorio, who ends up uniting all the Bronx bikers gangs who are targeted for extermination by psycho cop Hammer "the Exterminator", played by real life Bronx boy Vic Morrow, hired by the Manhattan Corp.to get Anne back home even if she doesn't wan't to go! Trash for his part doesn't come across as a hard as nails outlaw biker but more like a wimpy ballet dancer which in fact the person who played him, Di Gregorio, actually was. Stiff as a board and walking around as if he's wearing a tight brassiere Gergorio, who was 16 when the movie was made, reads his lines as if he were reading cue cards and has a mop of unkempt hair that any member of Hair Club of America would be green with envy of.There's also Trash's comrade in arms Orge, Fred "The Hammer" Williamson, the self proclaimed "King of the Bronx" who's, together with Trash, to take on Hammer and his gestapo-like cops with his main squeeze Witch, Betty Dessy, in the films flaming and final sequence. As for nut-job Hammer he gets more and more crazier as he succeeds in his mission in wiping out all the Bronx biker gangs and getting Anne back home to her luxury townhouse, that she discarded for a burnt out Bronx tenement, in Manhattan.**SPOILERS*** In the end it's the brutal and brainless Hammer who screws up the whole operation in rescuing Anne from her biker friends. Flushed with victory by having slaughtered almost all the outlaw bikers, including Orge, with his flame-throwing stormtroopers Hammer stupidly exposes himself to enemy fire and ends up getting whacked in the process! What was even far more ridicules on Hammer's part is that the very reason he and his gang of psycho cops were sent in into the burnt out Bronx in order to rescue Anne turned into a total disaster! In Hammer and his men ending up killing Anne together with almost the entire, of what was still left, of the Bronx's population!
David Carter I have seen this movie from Showtime around the same year he died in 1982 and the Italians didn't even keep his voice in the movie ! I can't believe they would just dub out his voice with some cheap imitation because this was one of the last movies Vic Morrow made before he died. I rated this a 2 because I can't say it's awful because Vic is in it. The acting STINGS and everything else is the same junk you saw from the Italians in the 1980's. One point though, the World Trade Centers are shown a few times in the background so that might be worth seeing it for. If you want to see a boring two hours then I recommend it, otherwise just skip it.
