Street warrior Trash stands in their way, allied with a rag-tag band of rebels who abduct the president of the corporation. A mercenary is sent into the Bronx to retrieve him and eliminate Trash. CAPSULE REVIEW An extremely poor follow-up to 1990: I guerrieri del Bronx (1982). Watching this, it's hard to believe that director Enzo G. Castellari made a handful of classic Italian cop movies in the 1970s (La polizia incrimina la legge assolve (1973), Il cittadino si ribella (1974) and La via della droga (1977)) - this listless knock-off of Escape From New York (1981) is much more akin to his equally dreadful Jaws (1975) imitation L'ultimo squalo (1980).
