Production
The idea for the film was first envisioned by producer Fabrizio De Angelis when he missed a subway stop for his Manhattan hotel and ended up in dangerous neighbourhood in the Bronx. De Angelis stated he imagined the idea of a futuristic city where young hoods would fight for their home.[1]. 1990: The Bronx Warriors was one of the three science fiction films Enzo G Castellari made with producer Fabrizio De Angelis.[2] These films take influence from Mad Max 2 (1981), The Warriors (1979), and Escape From New York (1981).[2] Castellari changed some of De Angelis' plot ideas while filming, including incorporating more weird gangs such as the roller skating gang.[1] When discussing 1990: The Bronx Warriors, The New Barbarians and Escape from the Bronx, Castellari stated the three films were written prepared and filmed in six months.[3] Italian regulations required that 50% of a film had to be shot in Italy.[1] To solve this situation, the film was shot on location in the Bronx with interiors shot in Rome.[3][1]
