1990: Bronx Warriors

[The Blind Dead]

Folks, I’m listening to the soundtrack for 1990: Bronx Warriors by Walter Rizzati right now and I’m groovin’. This score makes me wanna scoop up my pimp cane, head to the nearest roller derby gang’s training facility and crack open a whole can of snarling Black Judo whoop ass on them! Fortunately for them…I know no Black Judo. I always tend to get like this though after watching a Fred Williamson flick, he brings out the blaxploitation in my cracker ass.

Anyhow, if you haven’t seen 1990: Bronx Warriors lemme break the news to you real quick like…this is 100% Italian rip-off cinema. Whether it’s “at its best” is really up to the viewer. Personally, I love it. Director Enzo G. Castellari and his co-writers (including Dardano Sacchetti!) cribbed generously from such films as Mad Max, Road Warrior (Mad Max 2), Death Wish, John Carpenter’s Escape from New York and The Warriors. Hell, I even spotted a bit of Planet of the Apes in there!

This movie has some popularity I tired to watch it hoping that I would but couldnt get into it. After about 15 minutes I turned it off right after the first fight scene between the motorcycle gang and the other group.

The Riders versus the street hockey gang, The Zombies. Good stuff. Cheesy but fun. It's a matter of taste really. Many can't get into the post-apocalyptic sub-genre.

Did the director make a sequel to this? Or 2 movies similar?

Postapocalyptic you say. You by anychance see "Damnation Alley" starring "George Peppard?"

Casterllari made a few of these and this film in particular does have a sequel. It's entitled, Escape from the Bronx. lol I wish it were out on R1 DVD. I thought Damnation Alley was quite fun as well and, once again, on R1 DVD. Back when I was a kid Jan-Michael Vincent was my hero lol

He was the built dude in Dam Alley? Never saw much of JMV stuff growing up. I seem to remember him being in a TV series for some reason. Maybe I'm wrong about this. My idol had to have been "Dan Fouts."

[The Blind Dead]

He used to play Hawk in "Airwolf." It was like "Knight Rider" with a helicopter lol
