2019 – After the Fall of New York
If there's anything we've learned from writing on this website, Italian cinema loves Snake Plissken and Escape from New York. They are also obsessed with the post apocalyptic era because I swear they made at least 5,792 films about it in the 80's. 2019 - After the Fall of New York (aka Dopo la caduta di New York) is another one of those films that blends both the post apocalypse and Snake Plisken, with a little bit of Planet of the Apes, and The Road Warrior thrown in there too. If I didn't know better, I'd think that director Sergio Martino and writer Ernesto Gastaldi were predicting the future with 2019, because it shares a main plot point with the 1992 novel by P.D. James "Children of Men" as well.
1990 The Bronx Warriors
1990 The Bronx Warriors is a Sci-Fi, Action movie directed by Enzo G. Castellari.
In 1990 the Bronx is officially declared "No Man's Land". The authorities give up all attempts to restore law and order. From then on, the area is ruled by "The Riders".
Hands of Steel
Well, I'm back. Yep, I'm back from my trip. Did you hear about my trip? I built a time machine that took me to the future. Boy, the future sure is rough. It was a dystopia where the environment was in some rough shape. People were living on the streets, and there were dryer vents randomly scattered everywhere making connections to nowhere, from doors to windows, from interior walls to ceilings. Shit, I even saw those dryer vents on top of cars for some reason that I never really did figure out. Fashion and cars were a lot like they were back in 1986, and the only way I could really tell it was the future was because I saw some people wearing these cool watches with calculators on their wrists, which were pretty impressive.
Endgame
This week for our dueling review and movie of the week, we picked "Endgame" or as it's also known "Endgame - Bronx lotta finale". Endgame is directed by the famed Joe D'Amato and stars Al Cliver as badass Ron Shannon, and George Eastman as the hunter Kurt Karnak.
