Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe full death toll in the uncut version is 174. There are 110 killed in shootings, 40 in explosions, 9 by flamethrowers, 1 by stabbing, 1 off-screen kill, 4 unknowns, 6 electrocutions, 2 bashed in the face with a helmet and 1 face turned to red mush after being hit with a shotgun butt.
- GoofsThe gun Big Little Man tossed to Trash was a 6 shooter yet Trash fires 8 bullets.
- 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.

SCIENCE FICTION ACTION THRILLER
A dystopian movie cross between "Escape In New York" and "The Warriors" with Italian financing depicting the Bronx as a slums area with the mayors and representatives attempting to kill it's citizens off as opposed to re-locating. Co-written and directed by Enzo G. Castellari with Trash (Mark Gregory) on the run while he and others are being pursued by Floyd Wrangler (Henry Silva) and his extermination Disinfestors squad for the purpose of rebuilding the environment. Ordered by the President to eliminate anyone who is infected. Forgettable but very watchable.
