Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

ElenaKonig616 OK I bought this movie because it was highly rated as a good cheesy horror movie. It's not. There is a fine line between good cheesy horror and just plain stupid. No one even gets chewed in the movie, just a half dozen bums who drink this liquor then melt. The entire time I was waiting for the movie to "get going" as in lots of carnage but it never did. It is punctuated with this retarded guy from Vietnam who has flashbacks and is just plain weird. Granted there are a few funny parts in the movie and a few funny deaths but they are few and far between. If you really want good cheesy horror and just an all around good movie check these out in order:1. The Return of the Living Dead 2. Dead Alive 3. Dawn of the Dead 4. Black Sheep 5. UndeadThe above movies are insane, they will have you rolling laughing but they engage you. The point is that the above movies set out with the premise that they are over the top and ridiculous. Street Trash tries to have some plot and be serious and fails miserably.

FlashCallahan When a liquor store owner finds a case of "Viper" in his cellar, he decides to sell it to the local hobos at one dollar a bottle, unaware of its true properties.The drinks causes its consumers to melt, very messily.Two homeless lads find themselves up against the effects of the toxic brew, as well as going head to head with Bronson, a Vietnam vet with sociopath tendencies, and the owner of the junkyard they live in....The thing is with this film is that although it's got a huge cult following, and does feature some really cool money shots, some of the sub-plots are just a little too bizarre to make any sense in a film like this.Take the Duran sub-plot. Was it really necessary to have him sing a song at the end? I mean it's funny, but his character really didn't need such an extended role, and it ruined the flow of the film.I know it's cheaply made, but some of the acting is hideous, and the inclusion of Bronsons Vietnam dreams look too cheap.Other than that, it's a fun film, effects are amazing, especially the first melt scene, and Bronsons death. It's funny, with some inventive scenes, and it's really a shame that a lot of the cast and crew only did this.Worth catching if you can.

Josh-hodgetts For a film that was released back in 1987, don't go expecting a master-piece, hell, i'd even go as far to say that i don't go for "outstanding modern pieces of cinematography" i prefer just a film that you may accidentally stumble across one late night, watch and completely forget about until someone else mentions is.Street Trash is a quite a task of a film to consider. The movie tells the tragic tale of a group of homeless people and the confrontation they go through every day to get there "fix" of booze. When the nearest cheap liquor shop finds a out-of-date box of liquid, the substance is sold for a very hobo-friendly price.Im not really going to ruin this film for you with the explanation on the plot, but i will say this:This film has a very dark under-current about it, necrophila, gang rape, mindless brutality all for the sake of it. There is some other the top reactions so many scenes and others with very little. Some scenes just don't feel in place, like someone has mixed up the order and replaced a section with filler, then went back to that section to try and carry on. Another thing that is pretty annoying; names, names are not clearly told in this (exept two, Fred and Freds Brother) most scenes only involve two characters, so they never refer to one-another by name. There is very little backstory to most of the characters, so you can only take them on face value. There is a few interesting camera angles and the way the film is cut, it's just intriguing to watch. There is very little i can say to give off the full impression this films gives you. The acting on the most half is pretty poor, but it has a sense of talentless charm, very much like Manos or The Room. The film is certainly "bad", but that good sense of bad that you don't mind watching. I got my copy for 50p at a electrics exchange shop, so i would say it was worth the money.Overall, this film is certainly worth a watch. Sure there was faults, but if you can look past them, you will find a film that you will never forget.

unclehugo Can anybody seriously dislike a movie starring R. L. Ryan of The Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke'Em High and Eat and Run? Can anyone dislike a movie featuring Tony Darrow of Who Do I Gotta Kill? and Goodfellas? Can anybody refrain from busting his (or her) gut during the final song of the film, the cover version of Frankie Boy's all time favorite entitled We do Things My Way? Does anybody know about any other film featuring an overweight necrophiliac salvage yard owner, a homosexual dog, crazed Vietnam vets, melting bums, mobsters, hit men, toxic booze, and a killer soundtrack? A few years ago, I fell in love with this movie. I purchased the first edition of the DVD from Synapse, with two original stickers enclosed that I used to create my own two bottles of Tenafly Viper. I have watched Street Trash a zillion times since then, and, boy, it never gets old.
