Bronx Warriors 2 (1983)

When I began my exploration of the Post-Apocalyptic Action genre, I subjected myself to many films that could be described as "mediocre" at best. What few drops of amusement Steel Dawn, Exterminators from the Year 3000, Cyborg and 1990: The Bronx Warriors and contained were swimming in a sea of boredom. Bronx Warriors 2: Escape from the Bronx, a.k.a. Escape from the Bronx a.k.a. Escape 2000 is the film I'd been waiting for. A thin plot padded out with relentless carnage, bad special effects and endlessly entertaining action scenes. It’s a great bad movie.

Set several years after The Bronx Warriors, Trash (Mark Gregory) and the rest of the outcasts living in the lawless New York are being forcibly evicted by the General Construction Corporation. The corporation's private Disinfestors Annihilation Squad clear the space efficiently: they kill without a second thought. To fight back, Trash, Doblòn (Antonio Sabato), ruthless explosives expert Strike (Timothy Brent/Giancarlo Prete), his son (Alessandro Prete) and a crusading reporter named Moon Gray (Valerie Dobson) set out to kidnap General Construction’s president (Enio Girolami).

I didn’t think writer/director Enzo G. Castellari (with the help of Tito Carpi) would rip off “Escape from New York” a second time… but here we are. While Trash’s first adventure mostly stole the setting and world of John Carpenter’s 1981 film, this one steals the plot. There’s a bunch of other stuff going on with the reporter and Trash’s parents but they’re just pleasant time-wasters until the President is kidnapped and brought into a lawless wasteland from which he must be rescued. Yes, this time we’re cheering for the people of the Bronx rather than the eye-patch-wearing antihero looking to save him (though it should be mentioned that a Snake Plissken lookalike is prominently featured) but no one is fooled. On the upside, the bare-bones story and flat characters make room for action, action and more action.

What makes Escape from the Bronx such a good bad movie are the battle sequences. Vehicles in this universe must be fuelled entirely by dynamite. A single bullet tends to reduce them to smoldering, twisted wrecks… unless they don’t. The body count is absurd. There must be hundreds of dead at the end of General Construction’s rescue attempt, as people get electrocuted, shot, bashed in the head, shot, set aflame, shot, and killed in all sorts of other ways you do not expect. It’s a good thing the villains’ minions all wear identical hazmat suits which cover their faces. Otherwise, they would’ve had to hire an army of stunt people. Once in a while, you get that sweet sight of a dummy blown back by a ball of fire and you can even spot the wig coming off its head before the camera turns away. When we are shown charred corpses, they look as though they’re been severely sunburnt rather than brutally murdered.

The performances are in that sweet spot; either the actors are so stiff they might as well be made of plastic, or they’re over-the-top and turn every one of their lines into pure, golden cheese. While it does not contain the same kind of memorable moments as Miami Connection or The Room, Bronx Warriors makes up for it with many big surprises. The action scenes go on for so long they should become boring but they somehow don't and instead, turn into some of the funnest you’ve seen in any bad film.

Watch Escape from the Bronx (or whatever you want to call it) back-to-back with Escape from New York and you’ve got a perfect night of genuine and ironic fun at the movies. (On DVD, September 28, 2018)

E non fare il bambino...

Carlo è un autentico disastro. Soffre di depressione. La moglie lo ha lasciato. Il suo capo, sebbene a malincuore, lo ha licenziato. Accetta allora l'invito di Massimo, il suo migliore amico, che si è trasferito a Venezia. E qui succede che Carlo si innamori, ricambiato, della figlia undicenne di Massimo. Un bel casino, insomma. Soprattutto quando il protagonista deve confessare al suo amico cosa gli sia successo. Il sipario cala su un finale aperto ma tutto sommato immaginabile. A me Colpo di fulmine, il film del 1985 che ha per protagonista Jerry Calà, è piaciuto. E per una serie di motivi. Intanto non è una delle solite cose in cui propone una delle macchiette enfatiche e caricaturali con cui è diventato famoso. Il suo è un personaggio umano e malinconico. Poi al suo fianco c'è Vanessa Gravina, giovanissima ma anche bravissima nei panni d'una bambina molto più matura del ventinovenne interpretato da Calà. Va precisato: questo non è un film sulla pedofilia. Affronta un tema senza dubbio delicato con un tatto e una poesia che non ti aspetteresti. Al fianco di Jerry troviamo Ricky Tognazzi, Valeria D'Obici e un'attrice di cui non conosco il nome. Non so nemmeno se l'ho vista in altri film. Ma credo di no. Di solito, quando vedo un attore in diversi film me lo ricordo. Di solito.

"When I've smothered you under the weight of my feelings, when I've followed you step by step, wherever you go, like your shadow, when I've died for you, you'll be compelled to love me!"

She may be a deranged incel stalker to you, but to me she's done nothing wrong in her life ever.

Verifiche letterarie

Mi sono visto - a distanza di molti anni dall'acquisto - il DVD di Desiderando Giulia. Trattasi di film italiano del 1986 dalle decise venature licenziose (anche se tutto sommato non si vedon grandissime cose). Ne è protagonista una opulenta e straripante Serena Grandi (non doppiata). Lei è Giulia, la donna del titolo. Per la quale perde la testa Emilio, scrittore in crisi dall'aria depressa assai. Non è un rapporto molto facile, eh. Perché lei, oltre a essere parecchio esuberante, non è che sia proprio fedelissima. Come se non bastasse, si registra anche un epilogo traggico (che scoprirà chi abbia voglia di darci un'occhiata). Fra gli interpreti mi ha francamente sorpreso la presenza di un giovanissimo Sergio Rubini e di Valeria d'Obici. Voi vi chiederete - e sarebbe una domanda legittima - perché mai mi sia guardato questo film. La ragione è semplicissima: ne avevo visto i provini quando era uscito al cinema. E girava la voce che fosse ispirato al romanzo Senilità di Italo Svevo. Mi era sembrata un'affermazione lievemente azzardata, considerando il genere cinematografico. Perché io di quello scrittore ho letto tutti e tre i romanzi. (Pure i racconti, tengo a precisarlo). Quindi ero proprio curioso di verificare fino a che punto si fossero spinti registi e sceneggiatori. E adesso mi sento tranquillamente di affermare che sì, i nomi dei protagonisti son più o meno quelli. Ma Desiderando Giulia c'entra con Senilità quanto io c'entro con la fisica quantistica. Vale a dire, un ghezzo.
