| "The Bronx is burning." - Howard Cosell |
WYRD WAR roars back to the big screen at the Hollywood Theatre with a rare 35mm presentation of Enzo Castellari's post-apocalyptic masterpiece 1990: THE BRONX WARRIORS, aka 1990: I Guerrieri Del Bronx (1982). Starring Fred "The Hammer" Williamson, George Eastman, Vic Morrow, members of the Lower East Side chapter of the Hells Angels and the mysterious Marco Di Gregorio, who boasts one of the most uncomfortably erect postures ever immortalized on film, the true star of this distinctly Italian future dystopia might be the real life urban wasteland of pre-Giuliani New York City. Shot on location in Rome (interior scenes) and the Bronx (exteriors) at the height of "white flight," landlord abandonment, widespread arson, crime and crippling poverty, Castellari's highly stylized mash-up of The Warriors, Escape From New York and The Road Warrior offers a sleazy glimpse into a burnt out America we may never see again. Come for Trash's skin tight jeans and the random five minute jazz drum solo on the banks of the East River...stay for the cabaret inspired tap dancing gang and The Hammer's tiger skin rug! ONE NIGHT ONLY!!!! Tickets on sale HERE!
