1990: The Bronx Warriors (1990: i guerrieri del Bronx)
Action meets science fiction in 1990: The Bronx Warriors, a post-apocalyptic Italian gang film. Released in 1982 as 1990: I guerrieri del Bronx, it was known in German-speaking countries as The Riffs – Die Gewalt sind wir and in France as Les Guerriers du Bronx. The story takes place in 1990, the year of the title, in a New York where street gangs hold the Bronx and clash with the police. The film was made as an Italian answer to gang pictures such as Walter Hill's The Warriors and the darker Escape from New York by John Carpenter.
Mark Gregory heads the cast as Trash. Vic Morrow plays Hammer, Christopher Connelly is Hot Dog, Fred Williamson plays The Ogre and Joshua Sinclair appears as Ice. George Eastman, Ennio Girolami, Carla Brait and Massimo Vanni are also in the cast. Director Enzo G. Castellari also plays the deputy leader of the gang called Manhattan Incorporated, while his real-life daughter Stefania Girolami plays Ann.
The screenplay was written jointly by Elisa Briganti, Dardano Sacchetti and Castellari, and Fabrizio De Angelis produced. The film runs 81 minutes. A sequel, Escape from the Bronx, followed in 1983; only the character Trash carried over from the first film.
