The Bronx Executioner is the English title of the Italian cyborg film, Il Giustiziere del Bronx, released in 1989.[1]

Plot

In the post-apocalyptic Bronx, warring races of evil androids and humanoids battle each other for supremacy.[2]

Trivia

A certain amount of footage from the 1984 film The Final Executioner was used in this film.[3][4] Woody Strode's footage as the character Sam from The Final Executioner is re-used here and his character is now Warren.[5] Margit Evelyn Newton was the only actor from the first film to have new scenes shot in the second.[1]

Reception

Kim Newman found the film to be ghastly, finding it an inferior remake of the Final Executioner.[6] Likewise, Creature Feature gave the movie 1 out of 5 stars.[7]
