A Street Trash Moment

I think it's great that other people think this movie is hilarious, because i absolutely love it. The last time i watched it i kept laughing louder and louder saying 'oh man, this scene!' before laughing even harder and saying that again. Anyone who liked this is my type of person, and i've just got to say that i'm scouring the world for this kid who was in a local video store talking to his buddy about the majesty of this film. Did they rent it? i don't know. are they gay? i don't know. But one of them lives a few miles from me and is aware this movie rules.
I spit on anyone who'd give this a '1', Wizzy alone (and especially his death) is worth at least a 3. Then you have Bronson, Pauly, Bert, the Stool Pigeon, Bill James........

There are not enough "melt movies" around at the moment, why does no one make funny, sick, outragous s**t like this any more. Most horror movies these days almost seem scared to go down the road of OTT splatter deaths (especialy for laughs!) Well, I have a copy of street trash to watch now and I havn't seen it since I was 15 (15 years ago) will be interesting to see how it looks after all these years. Oh well, there is always August Underground Mordum if I get bored !!!!

This film is classic, no question. I also reccomend body melt which is perhaps the better of the two, though it doesn't have a piggy-in-the-middle with a dick scene!

Roy Frumkes strutted around the set please that he had written that scene so it could be removed from the picture without anyone noticing (Just in case the distributor couldn't deal).

BTW, we spent half a day shooting a Rotweiler catching the penis, but it didn't make it into the final edit.

The production office had two dozen 'penis' molds lining the shelves! There was Donkey Dick, Long Thin Dick, Horse Cock, etc.

I saw it again yesterday and those two could be in their own short movie, I f ucking swear. They're hilarious. Last scene and the one at police station are cinematic gold. Plus, the Darrow song at the end. Where the hell can I get that song?!

Hey, I noticed a goof not listed in this movie. Of course, it has to do with Wendy When she first appears and talks to that Kevin guy she's wearing this black miniskirt with some kind of white blouse, but when she pops out of the place, she's wearing a white skirt and a blue top. Same belt, though.

"Awwww, SH!T, man!"

Darrow and Lorintz are in another movie together:

I definitely noticed that! Noticed those pumps, too, ooh-wee they sure wore sexy stuff back then!

[–] snootch72 19 years ago

with a name like that i was expecting greatness. but you disapoint... what would lucio have thought?

[–] skimma 19 years ago

I just saw street trash again yesterday after not having seen it for about 10 years or so. I still love it. it will remain amongst my 10 top freak movies of all time 4ever. its a hilarious, absurd joyride with so many great ideas and crazy laughs... I LOVE IT. praise jim muro.

[–] Drillbitch 19 years ago

I absolutely love it too, it's remained one of my faves since I first saw it...and still contains one of the very finest decapitation scenes ever.

Question: Did you ever hurt yourself to make somebody sorry?

[–] comraderutherford 7 years ago

And the only "decockitation" put on film, too.

[–] Bitter_Almonds 19 years ago

I saw again yesterday after about a 15 year lapse. I swear I thought there were midgets in this movie, but it was Viet cong vampires...

I dunno why I remembered Wendy's scenes the most. She's not even that attractive, but I'd still hit it - or at least put my hand up her skirt

Do The Mussolini! Headkick!

[–] The_Pat_Bateman 19 years ago

yes this movie kicked major ass. i enjoyed when that guy exploded. WHOA! incredible. and the decapatation was great as well. its a shame that stuff like this does not come out these days, this and things like it are truly golden films. i enjoy all this type of stuff, imdb seems to always have lots of haters of great 80s flicks. lots of great movies have really low ratings, because they are rated by people who just dotn like that sort of stuff.

Only kind of films that coem to my mind right now that still portray lots of gore and crazy stuff is Troma films. im glad to see Troma is still making over the top, gory, trashy disgusting flicks. I just watched Terror Firmer (made in 1999) and it is gold. VERY over the top and I loved it. Its shot to so it looks like it could have been made in the 80s. If anyone else has any recommendations please post them. Im talking 80s, or current films besides troma.

i saw Street Trash last night for the first time ever, and I have to say it astonished me. It is like no other movie i have ever seen, and it is a shame there aren't more like it being made anymore.

two of my favorite moments are (1) fred antagonizing wizzie..."wizzie's a homo..." etc.

and (2) bronson: "dead maggot sh*t...DEAD MAGGOT SH*T!"

[–] hoorock8989 18 years ago

I haven't seen this movie in years, but I do remember one scene in particular. The two guys that fight in the bathroom and the one force-vomits onto the other one. I watched it with my brother and we probably rewound that scene 15 times in a row. I can't remember being that disgusted/amazed/schocked/appalled/ all while I was laughing hysterically at the same time ever in my life. This movie is pure gold. I liked how the viper didn't kill everybody in the same way either. Some guys melted and others exploded. Why? Who cares???? It's cinematic genius...don't question it!

[–] natethegreat1 18 years ago

This is such a beautiful movie, made all the better by the end credits, which are pure genius. If only all movies were like this! STREET TRASH!!!!!

[–] ringsideviolence-1 18 years ago

Yeah it's a truly great film. The 2 disk special edition DVD is now out so get it! I'm waiting for mine to be delivered now.

[–] frumkoid 18 years ago

Thanks for the kind words. Lackey improvised the 'Wizzy's a homo' line. I wrote the 'Dead Maggot *beep* line. However, Vic improvised his entire speech at night on his throne, done in one long take.

[–] voxnihil418 18 years ago

Yeah, the Dead Maggot line, thats killer, truly absurd. The slow mo shot of the canister flying off into the background as Bronsons head falls to the ground. This movie is right up there with Blood Freak.

D:)

[–] stillanotherharris 15 years ago

If I recall correctly, Bronson's severed head gets a nice upskirt shot on Wendy.

I like to think Cytherea is out there, squirting from her vagina for all of us sinners.

[–] k57 15 years ago

I think I laughed out loud (loudest) at that moment!

[–] unlivingdearth 15 years ago

i know what you mean dude. i know this is an old post and all but i got to agree with you. some of the lines from the big cop are histerical.

hey, you're dead man...you're dead and you're gonna turn into one of those things out there!

[–] stillanotherharris 15 years ago

I read like old people fnck.

Does anyone else think Leatherface looks like Sarah Palin when he puts the lipstick on?

[–] dehumanized 12 years ago

This movie deserves to be both in the National Film Registry and AFI's Top 100.

I didn't like Hobo with a Shotgun, but it's along the same lines. It's just too disturbing for me. I love Troma movies, and I love Street Trash, but Hobo was just too disturbing, and that's a hard one to pull off on me...!

[–] JudgeNotLestYeBeJudgeReinhold 7 years ago

Few years late to the party (lol), but I had the same problem with Hobo with a Shotgun. I like grindhouse style movies, but it was a bit much. However, I decided to give it another shot, and I did like it more the more I watched it. I don't know, maybe give it another chance.

[–] Woodyanders 7 years ago

I absolutely adore this film for its no-holds-barred sense of twisted dark humor and those gloriously over-the-top melting scenes.
