A goofy, badly dubbed Italian exploitation flick starring Vic Morrow and Fred Williamson. Do I have your attention? Good, let's continue. This amazing film is about 20% Escape From New York, 30% The Warriors and the rest, like a good hot dog, is unidentifiable filler.
In 1990, the Bronx has been abandoned to violent gangs who now control the entire borough. This, despite the fact that most of the gangs seem slightly less terrifying than the Furies or Boppers from The Warriors. Ann is the 17-year-old heir to the Manhattan Corp. Don't ask what they do or why this is important because you'll still be left wondering at the end. It doesn't really matter. One night she "escapes" from her…

So, take The Warriors and Escape From New York. Mix them together. Waste all the budget on bad face paint and an out of place drummer. Give Fred Williamson bugger all to do. The result? 1990: The Bronx Warriors.
Really, really crap. Not even in a fun, campy sort of way - just boring with dreadful fight scenes and meandering scenes of nothing happening. I hope Vic Morrow got paid well for this.
Good music, though.

Fred "The Hammer" Williamson, Vic Morrow (playing a character named Hammer...wait, what...how'd that happen?),"Big" George Eastman...and a hero named Trash who walks around like he has potato chips in his ass and don't wanna break them...

hot hot stuff. This is The Warriors with a lot of spicy Italian sauce added and it tastes great. the scene with the dude just randomly playing the drums on screen to give a kickass soundtrack almost KILLED ME!

This is the last film Vic Morrow completed before his unfortunate on-screen death and I gotta say, cinema has missed him. He is kinda of a poor man's George C. Scott, but he is is just as fun to watch. I could have seen him acting into his blue hair years, possibly making him a great addition to the Grumpy Old Men cast.

Probably the best of the Italian post-apocalyptic movies, even though it’s more of a rip-off of The Warriors than anything else. Enzo G. Catellari is a great action director no matter how you slice it, and this film delivers up a nice slab of violence and gore as a gang try to protect a rich girl while evil developers try to run them out of their homes (or something). Fred Williamson is great as the pimped out leader of a gang who battles George Eastman at one point.

The requisite longueurs are more conducive to ennui than is really proper for this kind of whacked-out cash-in, but the gonzo moments of rapture - including god's lonely drummer providing the beats to a gang warrior sit-down, the Bob Fosse band of misfit thugs glaring their way through choreographed intimidation, Fred Williamson staying cool under fire, and Vic Morrow going over the top and beyond into some strange empyrean bliss you and I and our fellow fine mortals can never hope to know - leave me feeling like I'm nevertheless a better person - smarter, sexier, more compassionate - for having seen it.

I can only give this vile turd of a movie 1/2 a star. It is truly awful. Feel free to check it out but be warned I have not seen anything quite as bad as this for a long time!

Fun rip off of The Warriors. Half the charm is in spotting signs of modern day life in the background of this post-apocalypse.
