1990: The Bronx Warriors

Welcome to the future: when the Bronx is officially declared a high risk district, The Authority give up any attempts to enforce The Law. In a catastrophic uprising, the dregs of society inhabiting this post-Escape From New York / post-The Warriors wasteland have violently rebelled and here The Riders reign – but their mortal enemies The Zombies, The Tigers and The Scavengers do not go easy into the night. But when a beautiful heiress enters the borough, a psychotic mercenary named The Hammer (legendary actor Vic Morrow in his penultimate role) ignites a new war. Marauding warriors, violent weaponry, cutthroat gangs (bikers! hockey players! pimps! tap dancers!), flamethrower wielding police on horseback, and all-time performances by Mark Gregory (Thunder Warrior aka Italian Rambo) and Fred “The Hammer” Williamson: legendary Italian director Enzo G. Castellari (The Inglorious Bastards, Keoma) delivers everything you want from an early ‘80s post-nuke adventure and burns the city to the ground in this vicious “re-imagining” of a John Carpenter classic. 1990: The Bronx Warriors is an unforgettable descent into a futuristic inferno, screening here from an insanely rare original 35mm print!
