Trivia:

Permission was not granted to close down the streets of the Bronx while filming. Hence the fact that traffic can be seen proceeding in a perfectly orderly fashion as The Riders cruise down the road (in a supposedly lawless "No Man's Land").

Goofs:

Errors in geography: Several scenes are very obviously filmed in Brooklyn, not The Bronx.

Excellent Cheese-fest from Enzo

Although not nearly as cheesy as AFTER THE FALL OF NEW YORK or Castellari's own WARRIORS OF THE WASTELAND, this is sure to please most fans of apocalyptic or THE WARRIORS-type flicks. Takes a few viewings to appreciate, but that awesome music, cool action scenes, and funny Kung-Fu violence make up for the lulls in the script. NOTE - the movie was butchered by about 8 minutes for U.S. release. Try to find an uncut copy if possible, since the U.S. version is missing a lot of action, violence, dialogue, and an entire gang!
