STREET TRASH
THE TWO DISC MELTOWN EDITION
Lets get one thing straight, this is not high art, this is a low brow gutter level comedy horror and it fucking rocks.
A few years back when this first came out on video it was essential late night drunken viewing for the punks and unlike a lot of things from back then it has stood the test of time. The bonus disc includes the original 16mm short film where VIPER was actually THUNDERBIRD and extensive interviews with the cast, the producer and some random passers by.
The action centres on a New York scrap yard run by a fat slob with a taste for necrophelia and inhabited by a gang of derelicts run by BRONSON the psycho vietnam vet. The daily search for a few bucks to buy booze is enlivened by an unearthed box of VIPER wine that is going for a buck a bottle in the local off-licence.
The only side effect is it makes the drinker either melt or explode.
It works because this film is big on the special effects and gore plus it has a kicking sense of the absurd. The sex scenes are grusome and the mafia sub plot is all killer.
This film has no socially redeeming features, it kicks for the sick and scores every time.
If this film was a punk band it would be the ANTI NOWHERE LEAGUE.
5 stars and a salute to the drunk.
Warning - this film contains a scene involving a severed penis.. oh and someone melting down into a toilet bowl..
