Aaron1375 I saw this film under the title, "Escape 2000" as an episode of the cult riffing show, Mystery Science Theater 3000. This film is a sequel to a film called, "The Bronx Warriors". Both Italian made films that feature a lot of shots in New York that were probably done without permission and lots of studio shots back in Italy. I am rather surprised the score here is as high as it is, because this film is rather ludicrous! My guess is the "Bronx Warriors" was probably a better film, I mean, it had to be or why make a sequel? Though considering it was Italian made, I am also guessing not much better. Do not get me wrong, I enjoy their horror films and they made some good westerns too, but films like these just did not work as well. It does not help that they try to pass the film off as happening in New York and you end up in the underground which is so European looking it is pathetic! Lots of people flying all over the place due to explosions, lots of nonsensical plot points and lots of dudes with really awesome hair! The story has the Bronx being under siege by a horde of men wearing silver outfits with helmets for no discernible reason whatsoever. Their mission, to rid the Bronx of the gangs by any means necessary! Which means either relocating them to New Mexico or killing them! An evil corporate president wants to build a wonderful city in the Bronx place and wishes to start by building a children's hospital, the animal! Meanwhile, a man named Trash who apparently did something in the previous movie decides to fight back when his folks are killed, but midway through the movie, he becomes almost a secondary hero as another guy comes along to blow things up and help Trash kidnap the president along with a very unattractive news reporter. Sadly, in the end, they really accomplish absolutely nothing, they don't even escape the Bronx.This film made a very funny episode of MST3K. I had never seen this film until now as I was never able to see the show until the sci-fi channel years. So many jokes and I almost could not stop laughing when they first kidnapped the president and began running from the extermination squads and things were blowing up and the bodies were flying! The movie featured a woman reporter who they made fun of her appearance, because she was very vampire and rat looking. It is strange as Italian films either have some of the most attractive women you can see, or they have some of the least attractive on screen! So no, I do not really see why anyone would really like this film. The sets look bad, the action is borderline silly and you endure watching this thing all the way through and you are rewarded with almost a non ending. Perhaps they made a third film as there was still some stuff left unresolved as the president of the company was dead and another guy took his place and the Bronx were kind of littered with bodies, but the key members of the resistance were left alive. Of course, a totally awesome ending would have them going to New Mexico and going, "Hey, this isn't so bad!"

trashgang There are so many releases of this flick that no-one knows which one has the full uncut. It was stated that the release on EMS in Germany was the best to watch but sadly it wasn't. Shamelss has finally released the full uncut. Don't think that it was worth the wait. It's pure trash and there isn't that much of a story. But still, it has a following. Can't say it's post-apocalyptic, it's just about the bronx being demolished to built a new project on it but the people from the bronx aren't that happy and are kidnapping the president of the new project. Naturally it's also time for some to try to kill the president so they can take over the regime. So there's a lot of shooting and explosions. It's full of cheap effects, people being shot who never bleed or whatsoever. People flying in the air without blood or bruises. Pure trash coming from Italy only for the lovers of the genre.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

Jonathon Dabell The original Bronx Warriors movie was a fairly trashy Italian rip-off of Escape From New York with a splash of The Warriors and The Exterminator thrown in. While not a particularly good film, it had a couple of low-budget quirky touches and acquired a moderate cult following. This hastily produced sequel has a sufficiently fresh storyline so at least it can't be accused of being a lazy re-run of the original movie. However, there's not much else to recommend Bronx Warriors 2 – it's all cheapjack violence and action, terrible acting and lame dialogue.The GC Corporation wants to empty the hellish urban wasteland of the Bronx to make way for a super-modern high-tech property development. In order to clear the streets, the bikers and scavengers surviving in the Bronx have been asked to move peacefully to New Mexico as part of a relocation package. However few of them want to leave, so a gang of flame-thrower armed "Disinfestors" roam the streets burning and gassing any residents they come across who will not surrender and move out. Under the leadership of an expelled prison warden, Floyd Wrangler (Henry Silva), the Disnifestors are ruthless and indiscriminate in their methods. Meanwhile, Bronx biker Trash (Mark Gregory) – the anti-hero from the first movie - is surviving as an embittered loner, finding discarded ammunition and trading it with the gangs that live underground. When Trash learns that the Disninfestors have murdered his parents, he decides to stop them and the GC Corporation from progressing with their plans by kidnapping the head of the organisation, President Clark (Enio Girolami). Aided by a deadly mercenary, Strike (Giancarlo Prete), and his gun-toting son Junior (Alessandro Prete), Trash kidnaps the president and attempts to spirit him back to the Bronx through the maze of sewers and tunnels beneath the city, pursued every step of the way by the authorities and the Disninfestors.In essence, Bronx Warriors 2 is one long chase movie. It has a sadistic streak and seems to enjoy lingering on scenes of death and brutality. Gregory is just as wooden as he was in the first film, while Silva is disappointingly weak in the sort of villainous role he usually does so well. Some of the action sequences are handled with a raw low-budget energy that has become a trademark of director Castellari, but much of the action is repetitive and too many scenes are linked together clumsily, with little sense of cohesion. The film has a nice array of weird 'n' wonderful outfits, and the derelict locations look believably apocalyptic. Overall, though, the film has very few positives and is little more than an exploitative time-filler which doubles the violence and mayhem of the original but has only half of its quirkiness. For trash fans only.

Witchfinder General 666 Enzo G. Castellari definitely is a gifted director of Westerns (such as "Keoma"), Crime flicks (such as "Street Law") or War cinema ("Deadly Mission"). His extremely trashy 'Bronx' films are definitely no highlights of his career, more precisely they are about as dumb as films get, but they're nevertheless highly entertaining pieces of trash cinema."Fuga Dal Bronx" aka. "Escape From The Bronx" of 1983 is the even trashier sequel to the, already very trashy "1990: The Bronx Warriors" (1982), which was only made to cash in on the success of films like "Escape from NY" or "The Warriors. This is, on the one hand, even sillier than its successor, but on the other hand even more action-packed and entertaining, and a film that Italian Trash enthusiasts should not miss.10 years after the events in "1990: The Bronx Warriors", the owner of a company is planning to tear down the hellish gangland of the Bronx, in order to build a new Utopian center of New York. Officially, the inhabitants are offered houses in New Mexico, but they are really forced out of their neighborhood by extermination squads lead by the unscrupulous Floyd Wrangler (the great Henry Silva), who has ordered to kill everybody who refuses to leave. Tough biker and former gang leader Trash (Mark Gregory, who played the same role in the first film), decides to fight back...The story is even more forgettable than in "Bronx Warriors", but the constant violent action in "Fuga dal Bronx" makes up for the moronic plot. It's an enormous number of explosions and violent killings as well as the wonderful trash-feeling that makes this film worthwhile. Although this film was made only 1 year after its successor, Mark Gregory fits in his role quite well now. I didn't like him in the first film, since he still looked like a teenager, and even though the guy is not much of an actor, he fits in the role of Trash quite well now. In exchange for the true stars of the first film, Fred Williamson and Vic Morrorw, "Escape From The Bronx" features one of the greatest icons of Italian genre cinema, Henry Silva, as the villain. All things considered, I wouldn't generally recommend "Fuga dal Bronx", but it is definitely worthwhile for my fellow fans of trash flicks. Enjoyable for fans!
