Enzo G. Castellari definitely is a gifted director of Westerns (such as "Keoma"), Poliziotteschi (such as "Street Law", "Racket") or War cinema ("Deadly Mission"). His extremely trashy 'Bronx' films are definitely no highlights of his career, but they're nevertheless highly entertaining pieces of postapocalyptic exploitation cinema."Fuga Dal Bronx" aka. "Escape From The Bronx" of 1983 is the even trashier sequel to the, already very trashy "1990: The Bronx Warriors" (1982), which was only made to cash in on the success of films like "Escape from NY" or "The Warriors. This is, on the one hand, even sillier than its successor, but on the other hand even more action-packed and entertaining, and a film that Italian Trash enthusiasts should not miss.
10 years after the events in "1990: The Bronx Warriors", the owner of a company is planning to tear down the hellish gangland of the Bronx, in order to build a new Utopian center of New York. Officially, the inhabitants are offered houses in New Mexico, but they are really forced out of their neighborhood by extermination squads lead by the unscrupulous Floyd Wrangler (the great Henry Silva), who has ordered to kill everybody who refuses to leave. Tough biker and former gang leader Trash (Mark Gregory, who played the same role in the first film), decides to fight back...
The story is even more forgettable than in "Bronx Warriors", but the constant violent action in "Fuga dal Bronx" makes up for the moronic plot. It's an enormous number of explosions and violent killings as well as the wonderful trash-feeling that makes this film worthwhile. Although this film was made only 1 year after its successor, Mark Gregory fits in his role quite well now. I didn't like him in the first film, since he still looked like a teenager, and even though the guy is not much of an actor, he fits in the role of Trash quite well now. In exchange for the true stars of the first film, Fred Williamson and Vic Morrorw, "Escape From The Bronx" features one of the greatest icons of Italian genre cinema, Henry Silva, as the villain. All things considered, "Fuga dal Bronx" is certainly no masterpiece, but it is definitely worthwhile for my fellow fans of dystopian exploitation flicks.

Impress your sequel of 1990 warriors of the bronx. with more presuesto, more faces known about the Italian cinema, more action, more special effects, more BRONX!! Mark gregory again in TRASH's role, here mas incredible that never kills, destroys, avoids bullets and trucks, climbs destroyed floors(flats), destroys a van in thousand pieces with five shots of a pistol... IMPRESSIVE and great amusement in only 90 minutes. Henry silva is the villain malisimo, and in spite of his short performance, his role is very important and impressive. Giancarlo prete, does the role that goes, the typical antihero, intepretando with genius to the teacher of his own son (also son in the movie). It is interesting to see paolo malco, in his short appearance and unexpected and incredible final death. Everything in the movie is action and action, shots and explosions, it if, to the style enzo castellari, that is to say, to Italian exploitation. Very superior to previous one
