JohnHowardReid This one is a rip-off of The Warriors and Escape to New York. Occasionally, it's rather inventively directed, and it's always very interestingly photographed by Sergio Salvati – particularly the exteriors on real locations. The action material is great, but the dialogue is absolutely ridiculous. Not a single cliché is missed! Young Mark Gregory as the gang leader may look the part, but he is way outclassed by many of the other players, particularly Fred Williamson, Christopher Connelly, and Joshua Sinclair (masquerading here as John Loffredo) as Ice. Vic Morrow plays a crazy cop with his usual edge and Stephania Girolami Goodwin is attractive enough as the heroine. The pace is sufficiently fast to overcome both the dull moments and the hokey dialogue. And of course there is sufficient action for the fans.

Jonathon Dabell Enzo G. Castellari brings us 1990: I Guerrieri Del Bronx (a.k.a Bronx Warriors), yet another in a long line of Italian exploitation movies which shamelessly rip-off successful American movies of the time. This time the plagiarism is centred particularly upon two films – The Warriors (marauding gangs vying for supremacy in an urban wasteland) and Escape From New York (a large part of New York has been abandoned by civilisation and the law, and left to fend for itself). Bronx Warriors is not an especially good film, but it at least has a few interesting ideas and has attained moderate cult status down the years.It is 1990 and the Bronx district has become a lawless wasteland controlled by various gangs. The police stay away and let these gangs control their own affairs. Young runaway Ann (Stefania Girolami), a rich heiress soon to inherit ownership of an arms company, flees from Manhattan and hides out in the Bronx. She doesn't want anything to do with the company and is determined not to be found. Soon, she shacks up with a tough biker named Trash (Mark Gregory) and begins to erase her past identity. The company hires a ruthless bounty hunter named Hammer (Vic Morrow) to go into the Bronx to find her. He quickly sets about provoking the volatile gangs into confrontations against each other, hoping that the resulting chaos will either help him to locate the girl or lead to her death. By this stage Trash has fallen in love with Ann and is willing to risk everything to protect her. And one of the main gang leaders – self-proclaimed king of the ghetto The Ogre (Fred Williamson) – refuses to take outside interference lying down, and leads his gang into all-out war against Hammer and his crew.The film starts off promisingly enough, with a funky titles sequence and score. Castellari works well within his tight budget restrictions to create weird and wonderful costumes, desolate sets and brisk action sequences. But the film rapidly loses its way once our initial curiosity about characters and narrative wears off. The narrative is fairly non-existent throughout, and the characters are set up solely to kill or be killed in spectacular fashion later in the film. There are no convincing performances to be found – Gregory as the nominal hero is too camp by half to be believable as a macho tough guy. Williamson is under-used as a supposedly fearsome fighting machine, and Morrow is simply embarrassing as the film's primary villain. The film's trigger-happy (or should that be flame-thrower-happy?) climax briefly rouses things, but overall this is just an exercise in trash. Enjoyable trash (in small doses at least), but trash nonetheless.

kosmasp I am not gonna tell anyone that their favorite childhood memory is actually a nightmare. But if you watch this movie for the first time when you are already an adult (and not to mention have seen a few movies), then this will do nothing for you. Except annoy you. It is actually almost the case of "So bad, it's kinda good". But it only is "So bad, it's actually kinda fun to watch". Though that would be for all the wrong reasons.I know I shouldn't be thinking about those things, but people going through a tunnel instead of just climbing over a bridge (especially considering the fact, that the Bridge option would be the safer one) just isn't going to cut it. The "real" for doing so, is of course because they obviously had no permit to shoot (I'm sure they weren't even allowed to shoot in the tunnels, but who cares, if they weren't caught?). And if you condone that behavior or even endorse it, you won't mind.I actually do not mind either and I salute their heart and dedication. It is also very clear, that they must have the time of their lives on the set. Unfortunately that does not translate into a good movie. Speaking of translation: Since most cast was mixed, with Italians and American actors, there is quite a bit of dubbing going on. The German dub (all actors get German voices) is really terrible. And they even had the "voices" of Kevin Kline, Bruce Willis and other actors who have made it big (since).I had the pleasure of meeting Fred Williamson in person. Apart from the fact, that he is still very fit (over 70 years old now), he wasn't going to trash the movie, instead opting to tell us (at the convention), that "every movie (he) is in, is good"! He didn't comment on the awful wardrobe either ... but that's budget restrictions too ... Was it still necessary to see the main guys breast 80% of the time? I don't think so ...

Arlis Fuson I love movies like this, it takes me back to the 80's when movies were good, and cheesy was even better than blockbusters. Always been a fan of these Italian b-horrors and b-action exploitation films.Here its in the future of 1990 in No mans land THE BRONX. The city is a scary place to be and ran by several gangs that all hate each other. Gangs like The Riders, The Tigers, The Zombies and The Scavengers and no cop would dare step fun in here. A rich girl sick of her life runs into the Bronx where the leader of the Riders, Trash, saves her and makes her his girl. The outsiders want her back and send in a real bada** to get the job done. He tried to set the gangs up and turn them against each other, and all Hell breaks lose in "No mans land".From the great opening credits shots to the famous gang/police war finale Dardano Sacchetti, the greatest writer ever, delivers. I loved the direction by Enzo Castellari and the wonderful music by Walt Rizzati. Just a beautiful package of post war b movie delight. The costumes were great and the motorcycles were cool with the skull lights on the front. It was a fun movie. Yea there were flaws, the city wasn't shut down so you can see heavy traffic in the background and even once a guy fishing during a gang meeting, but it doesn't matter this movie is still awesome. There was some good bloody scenes to make horror lovers enjoy this film as well. One scene was weird yet I loved it, it was when all the gang members pull up out in the middle of the deserted ruins of the city and yet there's a guy setting there with a drum set playing the entire time...funny as hell, i loved it. I also found little flaws like the fact they never had anyone on guard.Great acting here. Mark Greggory is one of my all time favorite actors, why that man wasn't a film superstar I don't know, hes good looking, built like a Greek god, could play any nationality you needed him to and just well centered when on camera. Vic Morrow played the bad guy Hammer, and he's another great 70's and 80's b-movie legend. Fred Williamson is a good guy and he's often hit or miss, and here it was mediocre at best on his acting. He didn't blow my mind as he has before. Chris Connely as Hot Dog, and George Eastman in a wonderful role and Golan...the cast was great.I love this film, it is for someone with an acquired taste. I love Mark Greggory, Sacchetti's work is do no wrong for me. Enzo direction is beautiful, his whole crew does good. I love Italian exploitation and the story was action packed at times and entertaining...It was however not perfect and slow at times, it was far from original and I can't completely lie and say it deserves more than 6 out of 10 stars.
