Escape from the Bronx

My advice: Leave (Escape from) the Bronx! It’s Trash.

Poorly done and completely inept but still weirdly charming in an '80s cartoon sort of way. Think Escape from New York married to Robocop distilled through an episode of GI Joe or Rambo/Mr. T/Chuck Norris cartoon.

LEAVE THE BRONX

So they actually have to tell people to leave the Bronx? Silva gives a weirdly disembodied performance, despite the occasional outburst (was he on Valium?). That Eddie Van Halen dude and his cohorts killed more guys in uniform than Clint Eastwood did in Where Eagles Dare; damn, that was a lotta dead astronauts! And what actually was the point of all of this?--oh yeah, to usher in Bronx Warriors 3. I did sorta like the kid though--he proved resilient. Great MST btw.

SAY BRONX AGAIN.

Marginally better than the original, probably because the plot was less incoherent. The most notable thing about this movie is not the spacesuit-wearing cops who march through the Bronx incinerating hobos alive, but the last half hour of the film, which is literally nothing but one death after another. I like to think my friends and I are pretty seasoned viewers of action and B-movies, and at one point someone exclaimed "is anyone even left?!?"

Insanely violent Italian action trash. The last 40 minutes is one long running gun battle, and an absurd number of people are shot or blown up. Enzo loves the slow mo.

Holy body count, Batman!

LEAVE THE BRONX Warriors 2 on the shelf.

Purely as a film, this is significantly better than the first of this series, owning especially to what feels like it had a bigger budget, but the fact that it's better quality actually makes it less entertaining than the hilariously bad first one, as it's just kind of a meh apocalyptic knockoff. Some of the so bad it's good stuff from the first shines through occasionally, but not nearly as much of it.

The first had better story, but this sequel have better action.

Damn what a piece of Trash. It's just awful, and just stuffed with slow mo explosions and lot's of killing and Nosferatu and Kiss kidnapping a president. Hilarious MST3K, it''s too awful to watch without them. Leave the Bronx

Mst3k score: 7/10
