After the resounding success of my last post here – 2 replies! Count ‘em! (seriously, that’s not bad considering how dead this fucking place is these days) here is the next film you’ve go to see. No doubt you’ve all watched Ninja Squad by now and the qualities you look for in a film have been raised somewhat.
So Street Trash is the next one.
You’ve just got to watch this film. Telling you what happens would pretty much ruin it. Suffice to say that when you see a good film you’ll come away saying “That bit in particular was really memorable and greatâ€. Well Street Trash has about 20 of those bits alone.
The film revolves around a rubbish dump where loads of tramps live. There’s a drink which melts people called “Tenafly Viper†and lots of comedy scenes involving all sorts of subjects such as necrophilia, genital mutilation, sexual harassment, racism and police brutality which manage to be absolutely piss funny in spite of it all.
If you’re the wrong side of 35 you’ve a decent chance of having seen this film but it’s still worth a second watch because you’ll have forgotten how great it is.
Easily 10 out of 10 for Street Trash.
😆 all the more reason for you to post more reviews I say!
cant say i’ve seen it, but will look out for it
Also cant help but sing “Street Trash” to the tune of Street life by Randy Crawford now
I’ve added it to my LoveFilm list. Suprisingly they haven’t yet acquired the DVD so it has been added to my “Awaiting Release” list along with Crank 2.
This is the lovefilm blurb: Two brothers join forces with a renegade cop to clean up on the streets of Lower Manhattan. But they encounter a new enemy, a phenomenal energy force that melts its victims in seconds.
Wow, just been to check out this masterpiece thanks to youtube and I must say, the bits I saw, I will not be forgetting in a hurry. Truly this is a film that everyone should be forced to watch simply to improve humanity as a whole. I mean, how can you not be moved by this brief snippet?

Thank you SOIA, you have improved my life at least three-fold.
wow, those “special” effects remind me of “The Thing”. Crude, but effective!! Can’t wait to get the DVD.
I think I remember this film. Didn’t it lose out to ‘Out of Africa’ for best picture at the ’86 Oscars?
Not that I’m trying to divert people’s attention to what people at the time called an ‘introspective look at the alienation of vagrants in middle America’ but there’s a similar Aussie film called ‘Body Melt’ which is full of similarly gory effects.
I remember watching Body Melt. I has the guy who played Harold Bishop from Neighbours in it.
I saw that particular gem at the video hire place years ago. What inspired me to rent it was the promise on the back of ‘A young husband is attacked by his pregnant wife’s rejected placenta’.
The front had some sort of tagline which went along the lines of:
The first stage is headache
The second stage is hallucination
The third stage is total body meltI don’t remember much of the film, but I do remember that a young husband was indeed attacked by his pregnant wife’s rejected placenta, so I was happy.

You can run away from time

For a nickel, for a dime

Or you’re gonna feel the bowlI don’t remember much of the film, but I do remember that a young husband was indeed attacked by his pregnant wife’s rejected placenta, so I was happy.
If, like me, you’re a fan of movies where placentas attack people or pets then please check out the wonderful movie ‘Warlock 2: Armageddon’ as it features a scene where a placenta attacks a dog. If that’s not bad enough for the poor dogs owner, she also gives birth to Julian Sands. I can only imagine what her diary must have looked like:
April 23rd 1992.
Wolfie sadly died today, and I gave birth to satan. That bitch Sophie at work also told David that I’d forgotten to do the Holenstein report.
Remember to buy milk.
