Enzo G. Castellari’s New York City set, post apocalypse romp “Bronx Warriors” is rightly regarded as a true cult movie B-Movie. This original 1982 British quad certainly isn’t subtle, it’s all action, grabbing your attention immediately and is a fantastic example of how a talented artist can produce imagery that’s far superior to the movie you are going to be watching. The artist is Brian Bysouth, one of the most prolific artists of his generation and a true master when it comes to capturing the essence of what a movie poster should be. Coming from Bysouth’s personal archive, this has been hand signed by the artist to the bottom right area. Offered unrestored and presented in high grade (as issued) condition it displays and presents to excellent effect. This is a scarce film poster, that is genuinely hard to find that represents a fine piece cinema memorabilia for a much loved cult movie.
Trivia: The movie has been considered a cross between The Warriors (1979), Mad Max 2 (1981) and Escape from New York (1981).

Dystopian New York (sometimes Rome), dodgy plot, biker gangs, ten-minute drum sequence, dancing street gangs, tight jeans… well the tightest jeans on a lead roll in film history… Intrigued? You should be. Not the greatest piece of story telling even for a B-movie, but “The Bronx Warriors” is pure raw and a fun watch, and it might have been even better only for a few moments full of cringe and God those jeans are blindingly tight.
Trash (Mark Gregory) the gang leader of The Riders who possesses the uncomfortable to look at tight jeans is facing the prospect of a turf war with The Tigers led by The Ogre, played by none other than the legend Fred Williamson. This is because of informers infiltrating The Riders partially due to Hammer (Vic Morrow) who is working for the Manhattan Corporation to bring down the gangs in the Bronx and to rescue Ann (Stefania Girolami Goodwin) the soon to be owner of the Corporation. Trash who now must go on a rescue mission himself for the girl he has fallen in love with, Ann. Through dangerous gangs of hockey players, dancers and a gang that resemble the Morlocks he risks everything to try and forge an almighty alliance with The Ogre. It won’t be easy with Hammer closing in leading a police assault, can Trash and The Ogre save Ann and their beloved Bronx from annihilation.
A pity the dubbing is poor, the acting is hit or miss (which you expect in a B-movie), the fight scenes choreography is below par and the film lacks a bit of blood and violence. But don’t let all this deter you, instead embrace it as the film is gritty, raw, cheesy and atmospheric, making it an overall really fun watch. Some of the characters are very strong and that drum sequence I could watch all day long. I can see why it is a cult classic.
