- Quotes
Floyd Wrangler: No sugar you idiot! How many times do I have to tell you, no sugar! It makes me CRAZY!
- Alternate versionsThe British version released by Entertainment In Video is missing a few scenes due to censorship, most notably some of the "hostages rigged with bombs" sequence (originally a hostage deliberately ran at a Disinfestor so the bomb goes off in his face) and Strike hitting a Disinfestor in the helmet visor with his shotgun butt causing his face to turn to red mush. The American Media entertainment NTSC video version is HEAVILY edited and missing some segments that completely change the plot of the film. In this version Vice President survives by simply driving out of the Bronx. Toblerone, Blonde Female Rebel and Big Little Man don't die and the scene where Trash takes on 3 disinfestors armed only with a crash helmet is gone.

Featured review
Ten years after "1990:The Bronx Warriors" life is still a pure hell for the Bronx warrior street gangs.A sinister Manhattan Corporation with plans for the region sends in death squads named 'The Disinfestors' to eliminate the remaining inhabitants,and only the man called Trash can stop them.Mark Gregory is back as Trash in this cult follow-up to "1990:The Bronx Warriors".This is surely very fast-paced and violent flick with tons of action.Of all the early 80's post apocalypse movies,"Escape from the Bronx" looks like it has one of the higher budgets,mostly spent on spectacular flame-thrower effects and effective explosions.The acting is terrible,although it's always nice to see Lucio Fulci's regular Paolo Malco in the small role.The soundtrack by Francesco De Masi of "The New York Ripper" fame is also quite good.Check it out.6 out of 10.
