For Lovers Of Italian Cheese....., Jan 7 2006
By John Smith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Post Apocalyptic Triple Feature, 3 Pack (Bronx Warriors, 2019, & New Barbarians) (DVD)
This boxset is great value. It combines 3 films from Media Blasters/Shriek Show's 'Post-Apocalyptic' collection: 1990: The Bronx Warriors, 2019: After The Fall Of New York and The New Barbarians. You can pick up the 3 films for the same price of one individually.
After the success of films like The Road Warrior and Escape From New York you got a lot of rip off films from around the world, most notably Italy. Made on lower budgets with b-grade actors and sets, these films are not 'good' in the traditional but rather fun and cheesy takes on the original better films. So, if you are looking for top class Sci-Fi then these films aren't for you. But if you are in the mood for some cheesy fun rather than high art then these films are for you.
All three films have got excellent, widescreen anamorphic transfers. You also get interviews with members of the cast as well as audio commentaries on two of the films featured. All in all, the films will never look better and time was obviously spent to clean up the transfers and provide some interesting extras.
A must for anyone who has a passing interest in Italian 'cheese' cinema.

POST- APOCALYPTIC CHEESE FILLED FUN !!, Dec 16 2006
By The Critic "Movie Maniac" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Post Apocalyptic Triple Feature, 3 Pack (Bronx Warriors, 2019, & New Barbarians) (DVD)
Any fan of the 1980's post-apocalyptic film craze would be happy to own this triple feature from Shriek Show. This incredible three disc set features: 1990 Bronx Warriors: 2019 After the fall of New York and The New Barbarians. Shriek Show Studios has done an amazing job with the video transfer of these movies. The picture quality from Shriek Show is superior to any previous version of these movies I've ever seen. It's obvious that great effort was put into the quality of this set by Shriek Show and they really care about their products. 2019: After the fall of New York has 5.1 digital sound while 1990 Bronx Warriors and the New Barbarians have 2.0 sound. Special features on the DVD's include trailers, commentaries and interviews. You get three movies for one low price and get to feed your post-apocalyptic hunger at the same time. How can anyone pass this up ?

i bought this pack for $3.00 at suncoast videos and i'll never regret it
each one of these movies has mindless fun i'll start with 2019 After th Fall of New York i think Children of Men ripped this off but these is a lot better action wise theres nasty looking mutants, flesh eating rats, weapons that sometimes sound like childrens toys, and a colony of underground dwarfs
next is 1990 The Bronx Warriors this has fred williamson as a king of a gang this movie is very entertaining theres really cool fight scenes and idiotic diolauge my favourite scene is when fred chops of a scavengers head
last is The New Barbarians fred williamson is also in this and he has exploding arrows this movie is very weird not as enjoyable as the others but its still good
i highly recommend this pack for some mindless fun
