"Escape From The Bronx" it's a post-apocalyptic exploitation film directed by Enzo G. Castellari, it's often considered a sequel to "1990: The Bronx Warriors" by the same director, and much like any other Italian rip-off, this film has nothing to do with the first one, except for a few minor references.I wasn't a big fan of the first movie, but I will say that it was entertaining at times, the sequel, however, it's much more entertaining and much more engaging, the plot it's easier to invest in, no matter how cliché it may be, there are much more interesting characters and much better action scenes.The film it's quite interesting, since it uses various tropes from different movies but it manages to execute them very well, the action scenes are quite violent but they are lacking gore, actually, there isn't much gore in the film, the only one I noticed was were a man get's his face crushed with a shotgun, but other than that, the action it's bloodless, which made the film a perfect choice to be featured on MST3K.Enzo, makes a wonderful job at directing the film, his fun and explosive action scenes are the highlight of the film, the film it's quite predictable for the most part, except for a scenes were a very crucial character dies, a very pleasant surprise, in any other movie this character would have lived, but this movie it's so crazy it doesn't even care.If you are looking for a fun and cheesy action film that takes place in a post-apocalyptic city, then I would definitely recommend this one, a really fun film for it's genre.

Mark Greggory is back as Trash and now it's ten years later and he still lives in the "no mans land" dubbed the Bronx. His gang is no longer with him, but he finds new underground thugs to help him battle a rich politician and his crooked cops that want to demolish whats left of the Bronx.I ask myself, why in the hell would anyone want to stay there for...Well this time we have a new writer and that is probably half of the problem. The great Dardano Sachetti is not on board and Tito Carpi wrote this one. It seemed better produced although it was made less than a year later and with the same producer and Enzo Castrelli still on board as director. They tried making it a better movie and took the cheesiness down a notch and tried to make it more flawless. Doing these cautious edits and attention to detail actually made the movie worse. The flaws are part of what makes a b-movie great.Don't get me wrong the movie was still cheesy, overdubbing was bad, plot had funny bits and there was some over the top BS going on with the story line. I mean from a couple pistol shots blowing up a helicopter to the same locations being re-used but trying to make them different places. Trash looked less in shape and seemed to be a lot less cool here, maybe it was to try to make him more serious now that he is working alone. I just absolutely love Mark's work but this is perhaps his worst acting job.Mark is still good even if this was his worst role(that i have seen). Henry Silva was great as he always is and most of the cast did a great job for this type of film. I didn't care much for Antonio Sabata Sr. He is always hit or miss with me. The music was a lot different but I liked it.What can I say about this, it was a cheesy Italian b-movie action/ post apocalyptic mess. I enjoyed it a lot, but it was trying too hard to learn from the mistakes of the first one and that made it a bit too serious for a film that should never take itself that serious to start with. The directing was okay but the editing needed loads of work. Music was fitting and acting was middle of the road. I didn't care much for how it ended, but I guess it got its point across, and still left room for a sequel...but I am guessing nobody bought it after they saw this one...4/10 stars but I can only recommend it to those who love the cheesy exploitation films as much as I do.

Yet another film with a good idea (using gang violence as an excuse to commit genocide and relocation) totally ruined by haphazard treatment. The heroes (except for Toblerone or Dablone or whatever the hell his name is and that kid that blows stuff up) are totally unappealing. The villains are bland and clichéd. On top of that, the approach is totally unrealistic. How would the evil company get away with burning people out of their homes? Especially when the words "Annhilation Squad" are written clearly on the freaking van???!!!!! That is just writing too bad for words.Now I feel I must bring up two random things. One, what the hell kind of name for a hero is Trash? Second, was that coffee gag with Henry Silva at the end supposed to be funny? I got a bit of a laugh out of it but it was just odd.Now it did have its redeeming qualities to it like the ever-jovial Toblerone and the pyromaniac sixth-grader. I also can't get enough of the fact that this film probably holds some kind of record for most bad guys shot in a film. Can't go wrong with shooting bad guys in my opinion. That is complete awesomeness. Finally, there is the jingle in the end credits so memorably lampooned on MST 3000; I find it kinda catchy.Still, one can only do so much with these redeeming qualities in a film this pedestrian. You will be bored to tears for the first hours. So I will give my now-patented "Stick with the MST 3k" version recommendation.

Now this is what I call a movie!!!It's virtually 85 minutes on non stop action and with a body count to rival a modest war and enough explosions to level an entire city!Step forward Trash, gang leader and hero of the first movie who returns here in style for within the very first few seconds of his screen entrance he manages to shoot a helicopter out of the sky! Woah!The plot concerns a property development project over the dilapidated Bronx and the compulsory 'relocation' of its existing population to New Mexico…..or so they're told….. As it happens, this relocation is anything but and actually involves the butchery of the Bronx's inhabitants by extermination squads who are headed by a scene stealing, and gloriously sadistic Henry Silver.Needless to say, the inhabitants take not inconsiderable offence to this and resolve to fight back which they do – violently!Cue an infinitude of shootings, beatings, stabbings and detonations as our brave warriors wage the desperate battle to survive against hoards of silver suited, motorbike helmet wearing, flame thrower/machine gun wielding corporate henchmen!This is a movie that will render your mouth agape at its violent brazenness and excesses! In short, if you're a fan of high energy/high body count movies then stop reading this review and go and get yourself a copy of this immediately!!!
