In the future the Bronx has been turned over to the people as the authorities can no longer police it and it is run by gangs. The heir to a gun manufacturing business runs away to the Bronx to hide from the people who wish to control her assets. A maniac cop called Hammer (Vic Morrow) is sent to get her. Meanwhile she has fallen in love with Trash, leader of The Riders. When she is kidnapped by the Zombies, Trash goes to The Ogre (honest, I'm not making this up) to ask for help in securing her release.
Coming across as a hybrid between Escape From New York and The Warriors this is an Italian Trash Classic and as such goes beyond criticism. And anything with a violent tap-dancing gang is ok in my book. Sure the fight scenes are crying out for a decent director and editor. Yes, the dialogue makes you cringe, when you aren't laughing. For definite Mark Gregory (Trash) is the worst actor, like, ever. But it remains fab.
