This film is a comic book plenty of action , fun , adventures , thriller and surprise-filled entertainment . This is the sequel to 1990 : Bronx warriors (1982), set in a post-apocalyptic New York City , a Castellari Sci-Fi movie with lots of frantic action , fights , and amusement . Italian post-apocalyptic Sci-Fi filled with chills , noisy action and spectacular scenes in slow-moving . And a very high body-count thanks to shootings , explosions , flamethrowering, stabbing, off-screen killing , electrocutions , bashing in the face with helmets , shootings in cold bood , and faces turned to red mush after being hit with shotgun butt . The movie likely satisfy action enthusiasts and Italian Sci-Fi fonds . Adequate plethora of characters with average performances by its entire main and support cast . Nice costuming and evocative production design in which the Bronx has officially been declared a "No Man's Land" devoid of any law , there live several urban tribes , with weird post-apocalyptic costumes , as Trash's riders and strange guys dressed in fiberglass safety gear and others in plastic dresses . Lousily starred by Mark Gregory as the tough and valiant renegade leader of the two-fisted Riders . Fine plethora of secondaries with familiar faces for its entire support cast such as : Antonio Sabato , Valeria D'Obici , Giancarlo Prete as Timothy Brent , Paolo Malco and special mention for the usually baddie Henry Silva . And other ordinary secondaries from Italian B series as director himself Enzo G. Castellari , his brother Ennio Girolami , some of them played lots of Spaghetti , Peplum , Giallo and customary genres of the 60s and 70s . Climatic musical score by Francesco De Masi as well as functional cinematography by Blasco Giurato . The picture is a rip-off from¨The Warriors¨by Walter Hill and ¨1997 , and Escape from New York¨ by John Carpenter that was also followed an inferior sequel : ¨Escape from L.A.¨.
The picture was professionally directed by the prolific filmmaker Enzo G Castellari who spent 2 weeks filming in N.Y. , Bronx included . This sequel titled : "Escape from the Bronx" aka "Escape 2000" aka "Bronx Warriors 2" results to be similar to original ¨1990 Bronx Warriors¨. Talented and versatile writer/director Enzo G Castellari has made a array often solid and entertaining films in all kind of genres as horror , Giallo , comedy , Western , and science fiction in a career that spans over 40 years . He made especially Westerns as ¨ Johnny Hamlet , Kill them everybody and came back alone, Seven Winchester for a massacre, ¨ and the masterpiece : ¨Keoma¨ . And successful wartime movies as ¨Eagles over London¨ , as well as Adventures : ¨Tuareg¨, ¨Adventures and loves of Scaramouche¨ , Simbad¨, "The Shark Hunter" , Poliziesco : "Day of the Cobra" , ¨Striker¨, ¨Heroin Busters¨ and Sci-Fi : ¨1990 : Bronx warriors¨ , "The New Barbarians : Warriors of the Wasteland" , "Escape from the Bronx" . This is a passable Sci-Fi movie , it is an imaginative Sci-Fi picture in which the camera stalks in moving style throughout a story with agreeable visual skills . This is a bewildering story , funny in some moment but falls flat and it will appeal to Science Fiction and Italian exploitation fans.
