Line 21:
* [[Camp Gay]]: Some of Dablone's rebels look more like a Broadway musical cast.
* [[Canned Orders Over Loudspeaker]]: <small>LEAVE THE BRONX! YOU ARE ORDERED TO LEAVE THE BRONX!</small>
* [[Cluster F -Bomb]]: Examples abound.
{{quote| '''Trash''': You fuck! It could be a pile of shit from someone's asshole!}}
* [[Complete Monster]]: Floyd Wengler is said to be this in-universe.
{{quote| '''Moon Grey''': ''[to a press conference]'' Now we all know who Floyd Wengler is: a torturer, an expelled prison warder, a KILLER!<br />
'''Floyd''': [[Card -Carrying Villain|Mister President...I'm worse than anybody.]] }}
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: President Clark, everyone from the Manhattan Corporation.
** '''[[Babylon 5|President Clark!?!]]'''
Line 40:
* [[Fake Nationality]]: Dablone is an Puerto Rican played by an Italian. These being Italian films set in New York, there's plenty of other examples.
* [[Gang of Hats]]
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Guy|Hey, It's That Guy]]: Fred Williamson, Vic Morrow, and Spaghettisploitation star George Eastman in the first film, Henry Silva in the second.
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice|Hey, It's That Voice]]: Hammer in the first film is dubbed by the same guy who dubs President Clark in the sequel, and the same guy [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0543441/ has lent his voice to quite a few MST3K films].
* [[Hidden Elf Village]]: Dablone tries running his underground hideout like one of these under <small>THE BRONX</small>; it doesn't work out that well.
* [[Intrepid Reporter]]: Moon Grey and her photographer friend.
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Kill 'Em All]]: Both films end this way more or less.
** ''1990: The Bronx Warriors'': Trash escapes from Ogre's burning compound {{spoiler|dragging Hammer's body behind his motorcycle}} after {{spoiler|the National Guard kill the rest of the cast after Hammer kills Ann.}}
** ''Escape 2000'': Of the main cast only {{spoiler|Strike, Junior and Trash}} are left alive in war-torn <small>THE BRONX</small>.
Line 57:
* [[The Mockbuster]]: The title is an obvious cash-in of [[Escape From New York]]. The similarities don't end there, but then again, the plots are completely different.
* [[Mooks]]: Oh so many, on both sides.
* [[Non -Indicative Name]]: It's not really an escape ''from'' <small>THE BRONX</small>. They're ''welcome'' to <small>LEAVE THE BRONX</small>. The entire point is ''not'' to <small>LEAVE THE BRONX</small>.
* [[Non Royal Princess]]: Ann in the first film. She's the daughter of the Manhattan Corporation's president.
* [[Now What?]]: ''Escape 2000'''s ending suggests that this is what Trash is thinking.
* [[Eerie Pale -Skinned Brunette]]: Moon Grey, AKA the Rat Woman.
* [[Psycho for Hire]]: Wengler.
* [[Pyrrhic Victory]]: Sure Trash manages to stay in the Bronx, but {{spoiler|only Junior and Strike survive and everybody else who helped him or wanted to stay in the Bronx is dead, his family is dead, the gangs were completely wiped out, his girlfriend from the first movie is dead, half of the Bronx was destroyed and/or demolished in the battle, the two reporters that tried to expose GCC's genocide in the Bronx are dead, and the [[Mega Corp|General Construction Corporation]], the company made the whole mess to begin with is still at large.}}
Line 66:
* [[Released to Elsewhere]]: <small>LEAVE THE BRONX</small>
** They're being relocated to New Mexico, though if this is true or a lie is anybody's guess.
* [[Revolvers Are Just Better]]: Trash racks up an [[One -Man Army|impressive body count]] with just a small handgun, even managing to [[Every Car Is a Pinto|destroy a helicopter with it.]]
* [[The Starscream]]: {{spoiler|Vice President Hoffman}}.
* [[The Strategist]]: Strike, the master criminal our anti-heroes persuade to help kidnap the GCC president.
