Enzo Castellari first came to my attention when Quentin Tarantino released "Inglourious B------s", whose title and plot were based on Castellari's 1977 flick "The Inglorious B------s" (IMDb doesn't let you write the titles, as they're considered profane). Not long after seeing Tarantino's movie, I saw Castellari's movie. So now, here's another one of his movies.
A previous reviewer equated "1990: I guerreri del Bronx" ("1990: The Bronx Warriors" in English) to John Carpenter's "Escape from New York". I saw that similarity also, but I also saw a similarity to Stanley Kubrick's "Clockwork Orange", in the the sense that gangs pretty much rule the streets. Either way, this is one fun movie, with the heir to a sinister corporation fleeing into the now lawless Bronx and joining up with a motorcycle gang. There's no shortage of cool fights and wacky stunts.
The star is Mark Gregory, who starred in a number of Italian exploitation flicks in the '80s before retiring from movies (he committed suicide in 2013), with supporting roles played by Vic Morrow, Fred Williamson and Elisabetta Dessy (an Olympic swimmer). All in all, it's one cool movie. I bet that they had a lot of fun filming it.
