Growing up in a small town in California in the 1980′s and into the 90′s with nothing to do, I existed on a steady diet of TV and books. Street Trash is one of those movies that would show up occasionally and piqued my interest because it seemed like something of the Troma variety. In fact, one could look at it as the best film that studio never made. I do recall the film looking rather grungy and beat up, so seeing it uncut and presented so beautifully was a bit of a shock. Who knew this little movie could look this fantastic? Let’s take a trip to the junk yard, shall we?

Street Trash (1987) Director: J. Michael Muro Stars: Bill Chepil, Vic Noto, James Lorinz The new adult beverage Viper is so good, it'll make your face melt! Let's not play games. The only reason to watch something like Street Trash is for the disgusting, graphic, over the top gore (if you can even call it that). And to that end, this movie succeeds in spades. Tom's last thoughts: "Bear hugging Dr. Manhattan.totally worth it!" As the title might...

Hobo With A Shotgun has all the hallmarks of an unapologetically sleazy vigilante thriller that is akin to the likes of Street Trash and Death Wish. But instead of Vic Noto or Charles Bronson at the helm we have cult favourite nutcase Rutger Hauer. The esteemed Dutchman has had an interesting, if somewhat unfulfilled, career giving nevertheless memorably menacing performances in the likes of Blade Runner and The Hitcher, not forgetting early credits which harkens back to pre-Hollywood Paul Verhoeven (Turkish Delight, Soldier of Orange) and forward to appearances in big budget blockbuster fare such as Batman Begins and Sin City.
In the lead role of a homeless grunt with a grudge to bare, Hauer is splendidly re-affirmed – riding into Hope Town on a freight train, his weather-beaten features dominating the Technicolor widescreen in close up as he chomps on a harmonica and manically screws his face up,...

Once in a blue moon, a movie comes along that provides like no other. It can contain in-depth analysis into the human psyche, a romantic tryst that inhibits the world from rotating on its axis, profound intellectual human emotions on galactic levels, and/or redemption that sustains your inner wisdom from feeling remorse or guilt.
Street Trash has None of these!!
Where other films deliver on the abovementioned goods (bads?), Street Trash emits a giant “Fuck You”, and then sodomizes you while simultaneously belittling you for contributing to the human race! Never has a film raped the corneas, as well as the silver screens, of the world with such gusto and abhorrent negligence. Okay Straw Dogs did a similar thing for its generation as well, but did Straw Dogs have derelict-melting “Thunderbird”, a crazed (yet Very funny!) Mafioso hell-bent on burying his (even more hilarious!) entrance usher, a junkyard Colonel...

I’m letting you in on a secret I’m not proud to admit. I'd never seen Street Trash. Why the shame? Well, if you’ve read the required horror viewing list, you’d know that Street Trash is near the top of that list. I have no excuse for not seeing it, but hopefully this review will rectify this huge oversight.
A low budget indie horror, 1987’s Street Trash is a hilarious Technicolor gorefest. Set against a pre-gentrified Brooklyn, Street Trash is what would happen if Abel Ferrara did a comedy. Filmed on the Brooklyn-Queens border, where apparently no completed buildings existed, Street Trash is an extremely bleak and disturbing slapstick comedy.
The film centers on a junkyard inhabited by alcoholics, runaways, crazies, and deviants. The chorus is kept in check by deranged Vietnam vet, Bronson (Vic Noto), who strangely resembles Zach Galifianakis. When a local liquor store unearths...
