Escape From The Bronx
Several years after the events of The Bronx Warriors, Trash, the former leader of the Riders gang is now a cynical loner, remaining in the Bronx and trading in stolen ammunition. The General Construction Corporation wishes to tear down the Bronx to turn it into "the city of the future", but to do this they need to clear the current population from the area and have employed a private squad of "Disinfestors" to burn, shoot and gas those that will not leave willingly. While the bums, vagrants and elderly prove to be easy prey, the warrior gangs of the Bronx are not prepared to go quietly.
THE BRONX WARRIORS TRILOGY (cert. 18) is released on DVD (£29.99) by Shameless Screen Entertainment.

      Junior: Boom!

    • Alternate versions
      The British version released by Entertainment In Video is missing a few scenes due to censorship, most notably some of the "hostages rigged with bombs" sequence (originally a hostage deliberately ran at a Disinfestor so the bomb goes off in his face) and Strike hitting a Disinfestor in the helmet visor with his shotgun butt causing his face to turn to red mush. The American Media entertainment NTSC video version is HEAVILY edited and missing some segments that completely change the plot of the film. In this version Vice President survives by simply driving out of the Bronx. Toblerone, Blonde Female Rebel and Big Little Man don't die and the scene where Trash takes on 3 disinfestors armed only with a crash helmet is gone.

    It's a shame Gregory never reaped the rewards of his cult status.
    A corporation sends in an extermination squad to rid of the Bronx's undesirables but the gang leader aren't leaving willingly.

    Hot off the hells of The New Barbarians (1983) director Enzo G. Castellari returns with a sequel to his 1990: The Bronx Warriors. Jarringly (but common place for Italian films) the same actors return as different characters from its predecessor. It's a pity, neither Fred Williamson nor Elisabetta Dessy return. This aside, the late Mark Gregory reprises his role as Trash, handling the action just as well. Henry Silva is his usual great self having plenty of fun as unhinged Floyd Wrangler. The supporting cast includes the likes of Massimo Vanni, Antonio Sabato and Timothy Brent as Strike. Alessandro Prete is Strike Junior, thrown in for that essential child actor Mad Max vibe. The late Moana Pozzi also appears. Actor Enio Girolami returns but this time as the President. Carla Brait reprises her role as Iron Men Leader and aside from Trash is only other returning character.

    Under the outlandish action scenes to writers Tito Carpi and Castellari's credit it has a social commentary running through it echoing the time in which it was made about people being removed/relocated from their homes (by any unscrupulous means) to make way for new developments.

    The score this time is by Francesco De Masi is a fitting, along with Blasco Giurato on location cinematography which both (while not as good) still capture the feel of the original Bronx Warriors. To Castellari's credit it's novel to get a sequel and not another standalone cash-in. With fights, flamethrowers, explosives, shootings, stabbing and electrocutions to name a few it's wall to wall mindless 80s over the top action... with all the dodgy costumes, bad dubbing you'd expect. But that's what makes this so good, with its own charm. It's arguably not as entertaining as 1990: The Bronx Warriors, but it's just as much exploitative fun.

    Ultimately, as a sequel it's an Italian B-film high, it's just a shame Gregory never reaped the rewards of his cult status. Recommended.
