    Storyline

    Edit
    When a liquor store owner finds a case of "Viper" in his cellar, he decides to sell it to the local hobos at one dollar a bottle, unaware of its true properties. The drinks causes its consumers to melt, very messily. Two homeless lads find themselves up against the effects of the toxic brew, as well as going head to head with "Bronson" a Vietnam vet with sociopathic tendencies, and the owner of the junkyard they live in. —zombiefiend_2000

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Vic Noto (Bronson) was cast a day before principal photography commenced(less than 12 hours) "I didn't know what the hell I was doing," he said, "nor did I EVER understand who Bronson was. I did scene by scene not even knowing what the movie was about. I didn't read the Script until three months AFTER I was wrapped. I STILL don't know who Bronson was".

      Store Manager: [Arrives with the old lady] Excuse me, sir...

      Burt: Well, hey! What'd you say brother! Hey look, can you tell me when this here product expires?

      Store Manager: I'd like to know what you're doing with all that chicken in your pants.

      Burt: Say what?

      Store Manager: You heard me.

      Burt: Well yeah I heard you, but I don't understand. Because it's clear to me that what I'm doing is shopping.

      Store Manager: This lady said that you were taking food out of the display cases and stuffing it down your pants and that certainly seems to be the case to me. Are you planning on paying for this food?

      Burt: No I ain't planning to paying for it, because I alreay purchased it!

      [Shows the clerk a coupon that was dropped outside]

      Store Manager: This is all dog food on this list and that's chicken comming out of your pants!

      Burt: Say what? Let me see that...

      [Reads the coupon]

      Burt: I don't see no dog food!

      Store Manager: That's what the abbreviation stands for.

      Burt: Well, shit! That ain't my problem brother! Can't help it if your cashiers see dog food for chicken!

      Store Manager: Look, why don't you come with me and we'll get to the bottom of this situation.

      Burt: Come with you? Whatcha mean?

      [Pointing to old woman]

      Burt: Now this old honky skin, white, snitch-ass mother fucker tells you something and you say "Come with me!" Now you're taking her word over mine! Now that's descrimination. Now why don't you just pull down your pants so we can all see the lilly white paint on your Hatian black ass?

      Store Manager: Look, you can come with me now, or I'll get the security.

      Burt: Hey, now you're talking bro! I'm gonna report you to your superiors!

    • Alternate versions
      The 1987 UK video version was cut by 6 secs and removed shots of a severed penis and melting breasts. These cuts were fully waived for the 2000 DVD and all subsequent UK releases.

    Crude, vulgar, scatological and tremendously entertaining
    I genuinely wish I'd discovered "Street Trash" when it was originally released in 1987. Finally watching the film, some 20 years after it hit the big screen, I can't help wonder why I never tracked a VHS copy down in the good old days of the "video nasties".

    "Street Trash" is horror on a shoestring budget and its atmosphere and characters could be compared to those of one of the better Troma productions. The film is filled with crude, juvenile humour, is politically incorrect and contains some of the most technicoloured, surrealistic, over-the-top gore spurting scenes you will ever see splashed on the screen.

    While none of the characters are particularly likable, the film has a great energy despite its loose plot and it's easy to understand why it has a strong cult following.

    8 out of 10. Rubbish but great rubbish. Fans of this film may enjoy the equally strange "Bride of Frank".
