As far as cheesy low budget B-Movies go, it seriously does not get any better than 1980s Italian rip-off movies. If you think of any popular Hollywood genre movie from the 70s and 80s (Exorcist, Evil Dead, Jaws, Aliens, Mad Max, Indiana Jones, the list goes on) there's a very good chance that Italy has their own very-obvious low budget rip-off of it made in the 80s, and chief among them is 1990: The Bronx Warriors, a cheesy low budget mix of The Warriors and Escape From New York. Parts of New York City (Specifically The Bronx) is left lawless and various gangs and criminals have taken over. The daughter of a wealthy company-owner runs away to escape her family and ends up in the Bronx, outside the grasp of the law, and takes up with the leader of a biker gang, who must battle deadly police assassins, as well as rival street gangs, in order to keep her safe.

There is seriously no words for how cheesy this movie is. From the glow in the dark skulls on the main gang's motorcycles, to the various themes of the rival gangs (mimes, dance troops, street hockey players), to the horrible annoyingly catchy 80s music that will be stuck in your head weeks after having watched the movie. There really is no shortage whatsoever for cheese lovers here, and that's not even talking about the horrible dialog and campy world-building on display everywhere.

The movie does slow down for quite a bit in the middle however, and outside of the very basic plot I honestly wouldn't be able to tell you what the movie is really about or how the plot progresses because it really is kind of all over the place, and I hardly understood what exactly was going on half the time...but hey look, a deadly street gang doing interpretative dance around their enemies! An undercover assassin cop with a flame thrower! Bad dubbing acting as characters shout at each other over how to run the gang! Oh, here comes that annoyingly catchy bad 80s score again!

God damn, this movie is bad in all the right ways!
