The Future Never Looked Cooler
12 June 2010
1990: Bronx Warrior is pure post-apocalyptic Italian exploitation fun and, for me, it never gets old…that's just me though. The comparisons between this film and the films it steals from will be obvious to anybody remotely familiar with 70's & 80's post-apocalyptic biker/gang cinema so I won't bother going into all that. There's a good chance many of you will find this film extremely cheesy though and rightly so because it is. The minute you get a load of Mark Gregory's waxed chest, girlie walk & Maneloe (Man Camel Toe) you'll know right away this wasn't meant to be taken too seriously. It's one of those "switch your brain off" type entertaining testosterone flicks you smile and kick your feet up to.

1990: Bronx Warriors isn't all that bad, the dialog wasn't as ridiculous as it tends to be in Italian exploitation cinema and the action/fight sequences were passable. Williamson's pimp king, The Ogre, was slick as hell and sported a perfectly styled mustache I'd beat a Red Cross worker down for and Vic Morrow's Hammer was so thoroughly over-the-top (especially during the finale) that the words "chewing scene while on speed" would be a huge understatement. Anybody out there wishing' we could have gotten a quick peek at Stefania Girolami's ass? Sorry Enzo but your daughter had a nasty fine can! Interested viewers will find some decent special features on the Media Blasters disc and that's all well and good but I would have been more appreciative had they slapped the sequel, Escape from the Bronx, on as an extra instead. Oh well, I'll live. Check this out when you've got time!
