It just doesn't jell under Enzo G. Castellan's messy and pedantic direction.

Gone With The Twins

A man on a drum kit jams furiously in the middle of an abandoned lot, for no reason other than to generate tension for a pending clash (and for brief, artistic panache).

If you were a kid in the early 80s you know how great the video hire store was. Little gems like this with over blown cover pictures were great that were on the shelve. This one is a low budget Escape From New York type movie and a lot of fun. You can make fun of this movie also. But I watched it as a kid when it came out and loved it. Just watched it today again for the first time since then and its still a lot of fun. Itallian made and its like a spaggetti western in The Bronx. So instead of making the obvious fun of it. Its worth an hour of your time to see what was going on in the minds of film makers in the late 70s and early 80s. Its also entertaining.

Blatant rip-off of Escape From New York and The Warriors is basically well-made with some interesting location settings and some wildly imaginative (if not laughable) costumes, but the action scenes are haphazard, the performances mainly wooden, and all-in-all the whole plot is not so exciting.

1990 The Bronx Warriors is rip off from the warriors and escape from New York but this Italian post apocalypse gritty action film is entertaining to enjoyed.

Another cheap Italian knock off of Escape From New York and The Warriors. That lead actor is really hard to take seriously though. Still, if you can buy into this world, there is some campy fun to be had.

1990 The Bronx Warriors: 3 out of 10: It's the distant future and the Bronx is now a no-go zone filled with criminal scum. A rich 17-year-old girl escapes her guardians and flees into the Bronx where she meets up with a large breasted male hairdresser who leads a motorcycle gang? Hold on let me check the box... Italian eh? Should have known. Yes it's a rip off of Escape from New York mixed with the Warriors. The film is loaded with problems even for an Italian rip off hack job. First of all they are clearly not in the Bronx. Helpful hints include the World Trade Center and UN building not to mention the Brooklyn Bridge in the background. I guess 1990 the Brooklyn Warriors sounded too much like a baseball movie. Despite listing the Hell's Angels as technical support the biker gang leads are well gay. I mean Village people gay. The leads really don't even know how to walk like men literally swishing from one scene to the next. The fight scenes show off their ballet and modern jazz skills as opposed to actual combat skills. And the outfits could give leather a bad name for years to come. It's a fine line between wearing your leathers to ride and looking like an extra from Cruising. Even the late Vic Morrow who keeps his manhood intact throughout most of the film goes leather bar at the end. The dialog is awful beyond belief and the acting is community theater level. The gangs our heroes swish against are even worse. First you have the Rollerball rejects with Spaceball helmets and then the cast of Chorus Line makes an appearance.(This is not an exaggeration the motorcycle gang literally battles a Broadway review) Fred Williamson (who confusingly is called Trash while Vic Morrow's character is called the Hammer), Betty Dessy as Hammers girl Witch (In her only film) and Joshua Sinclair as Ice actually give entertaining performances. The two leads however Stefinia Girolami Goodwin and Mark Gregory could simply not be worse. Their chemistry is nil and their line reading is atrocious. Looks like I owe 2019: After the Fall of New York an apology. As Joe Bob Briggs might say 17 breasts, zero of which belong to the ladies.

It's kind of like a mix of The Warriors, Mad Max, and Escape from New York. But also Italian directed so has the special little touch you never knew you needed. WELCOME TO SCIFI HELL.
