1990: The Bronx Warriors (1982)

Essentially what happens when you blend together Escape from New York and The Warriors and sprinkle liberally with Italian herbs and spices. Unfortunately, it does end up borrowing from both films in a way that is promising, but overall unfulfilling. If you go into it expecting a cheap knockoff of those two movies, then it's enjoyable, but if you're expecting anything more, you're likely to be disappointed.

«9-30-83, Asheville - Enzo G. Castellari's 1990: THE BRONX WARRIORS plays the Biltmore Twin and Park Drive In with the co-feature at the ozoner being the hit FIRST BLOOD. At the Twin, the other screen was playing Lucio Fulci's CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD/THE GATES OF HELL - those going to the South Biltmore Forest Shopping Center just for the movies had their weekend planned.»

1990: The Bronx Warriors (1982)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

I watched 1990: The Bronx Warriors as part of my exploration of the “Road Warrior Post-Apocalyptic” genre. For the most part, the various imitators and derivatives have been aping the Mad Max franchise. This is the first time I’ve seen “inspiration” principally drawn from the other two establishing films of the genre: Escape from New York and The Warriors. The results are one of the most uninteresting and cheap attempts I’ve seen so far.

In (the then futuristic) year 1990, New York’s Bronx is dominated by crime and declared a No Man’s Land. The police have given up all attempts to bring order to the raving biker gangs who roam the streets. Ann (Stefania Girolami), the 17-year-old heiress to the nefarious Manhattan corporation runs to the lawless wasteland to hide from the responsibilities she will soon inherit. There, she befriends The Riders and their leader, Trash (Marco Di Gregorio). To get the woman back to the boardroom where she belongs, the Manhattan Corporation hires a mercenary named Hammer (Vic Morrow) to do anything it takes.

It begins as a thinly veiled rip-off of John Carpenter’s memorable action film and then turns into a cheaper, lazier, and endlessly duller version of Walter Hill’s cult-classic. You go in assuming this will be a cheap film; the other Post-Apocalyptic adventures didn’t exactly have big budgets. Even so, this is inexcusable. This film is too low-grade to deliver even the mildest form of vehicular carnage, which is a shame because the Warriors’ – I mean the Riders’ – motorcycles look so flimsy you know they’d fly in a million pieces if they hit even a medium-sized pothole. I’m not joking when I say it looks like they bought a bunch of Halloween decorations – on November 1st when they’re heavily discounted- and then glue-gunned them onto the steering wheel of their motorcycles.

The performances are horrible and the actors are made to look even worse by the ADR. Everyone’s all mush-mouthed, and with the home release’s lack of subtitles, you’ll struggle to understand what anyone is saying. Had this plot had any kind of substance or complexity to it, you’d be completely lost. Nonetheless, you keep watching, hoping there will be some cool stunts or hand-to-hand combat scenes to make this effort worth your time. Your hope is in vain.

The only way to draw enjoyment from 1990: The Bronx Warriors is by making fun of it. Even so, it doesn’t have much to offer. It’s agonizingly dull and so obviously devoid of any kind of passion, enthusiasm or effort. The one thing that might bring a smile to your face are some of the characters’ names and the art direction. If it seems as though I’m grasping at straws, I am but how could you not laugh at characters named Hotdog (Christopher Connelly), Witch (Elisabetta Dessy), The Ogre (Fred Williamson), Ice (John Loffredo) and… Paul (Rocco Lero)? Some of the random gangs receive given quirks that make them mildly diverting, such as a group of mimes who perform a coordinated dance, but those add nothing to the story. It’s a flat picture, obviously shot in a run-down neighbourhood. It drains the life out of you.

I suffered through 1990: The Bronx Warriors so you wouldn’t have to. There’s no reason to see this, even if you enjoy the stories it’s shamelessly burglarizing. I didn’t think it could get any worse than Exterminators from the Year 3000, but here we are. To survive these films, I’m going to have to set the bar way lower than expected. This Italian production has not one, but two sequels and I can’t imagine either being any better than this. (On DVD, August 4, 2018)

1990: The Bronx Warriors- Just Look at that Freakin' Cover!

Just look at the freakin’ cover for this film and tell me it doesn’t look amazing! Having now seen it, I can say that it does live up to the amazingness promised by the cover, although whether it’s amazing in a legit good film kind of way or amazing in a really bad and weird kind of way remains the question.  Continue reading Untitled

Movie Review | 1990: The Bronx Warriors (Castellari, 1990)

Not quite the wall to wall sleazefest I was expecting going in, but I nonetheless had a good time with this. Enzo G. Castellari seems less interested in piling on the thrills than in basking in post-apocalyptic imagery, and in that sense he gets a lot of mileage out of shooting in the most crumbling, dilapidated, bombed out looking locations he can find in the Bronx. This is obviously inspired by The Warriors and Escape From New York, and unlike the latter, all of New York City hasn’t been allowed to collapse into violent decay, just the Bronx. So by actually shooting there and having bystanders in full view in many scenes and having the authorities voice their naked contempt for the inhabitants, there is something of a political charge to this.

You do get your share of colourful characters, like Mark Gregory, who has magnificent enough hair to lead a glam metal band. Unfortunately he seems to have traded any semblance of charisma for said hair, but thankfully we also have Fred Williamson, who has enough charisma for the entire cast, and leads a gang where everybody wears really shiny clothes (he himself wears a puffy shirt like a stage magician). He has a girlfriend who wears a cape and gets some pretty good kills with a whip, so she was my favourite character. There’s also a gang of roller skating hockey players led by George Eastman with a topknot, a gang of zombies, two guys who look like Eric Roberts, and many, many more fun characters I’m too lazy to rattle off. You also get the Hell’s Angels playing extras, which probably explains some of the more, uh, questionable regalia worn by the biker gang.

The execution can be described as low energy, but the movie looks great thanks to the cinematography by Sergio Salvati and the deft use of locations. There is enough blood and gore to keep you entertained, and towards the end it starts piling on the violence, peaking with a climax that involves jackbooted goons on horseback firing flamethrowers.
