Review:
A Government corporation sends in flamethrower and machine gun wielding jump-suited soldiers wearing crash helmets to raze a dilapidated area of the Bronx to make way for developments of housing and the residents who are refusing to budge. Led by villainous Henry Silva, they have reckoned without our illustrious hero Trash (Mark Gregory) who, armed with his super-powerful Magnum (so powerful) that he manages to blow up a whole helicopter with six bullets (similar in logistical relish as George Kennedy's flare gun party piece in AIRPORT 80 THE CONCORDE when he directs a guided missile using a flare gun and succeeds!!!) and a war breaks out to decide the future of the Bronx. Where is Acme Realty when you need them!!!?
Another moment to behold is the four or five soldiers who turn up in a clearly rush-hour moment and waltz down subway stairs whilst watched by workers bemused by their suits and thinking they are on their way to a fancy-dress party. Coupled with the music score that personifies many spaghetti offerings like this, it is only worth viewing if you are genuinely in need of a beer-and-curry night in with your girlfriend.
