Viewing Notes

I generally enjoy Castellari’s movies, even when he’s not at his best. There’s a lot of elements in Bronx Warriors that I wanted to like… but it just fell flat.

Bronx Warriors tries marry heavily borrowed elements from Escape From New York and The Warriors without much success. Perhaps the biggest issue is the wooden acting from Mark Gregory as the anti-hero, Trash. The plot is kind of a mess as well, with no real motive driving the whole thing.

Highlights are Vic Morrow’s over-the-top performance as a bounty hunter/cop named Hammer, the decayed urban landscape of New York City, and motorcycles, lots of motorcycles.
