highly recommended

In the sleazy foreboding world of winos derelicts and drifters in lower Manhattan two young runaways eighteen-year-old Fred (MIKE LACKEY) and his younger brother Kevin (MARK SFERRAZZA) live in a tire hut in the back of a vast auto wrecking yard. Fred is burnt-out by the forces that destroyed his family life whereas Kevin having missed much of their childhood trauma yearns to get back into society and lead a normal life. The most lethal threat to the boys is the case of Tenafly Viper in Ed s liquor store widow. Ed found the cheapo wine behind a wall in his basement. The stuff s forty years old and it s gone real bad. Anyone who drinks it melts within seconds! And it s only a dollar a bottle!! The bums are lining up for their deaths like moths at a flame and Fred standing right there amongst them.STREET TRASH is the subversive cult classic horror-comedy that rode the last wave of super-gore in the late 80s before the curtain fell on such outrageous material and we entered an era of safe R rated horror flicks and endless unoriginal remakes.Synapse Films is proud to present the 2-DVD Special Meltdown Edition of the 80s gore classic STREET TRASH.

Puddles of Penniless People

This movie felt like a bunch of litttle offensive episodes all glued together with slime.
It follows soooo many characters it can't halp but feel that way.
(Cemetary Man had a similar episodic feel, if you've seen that one.)
That being said, this flick was wildly enjoyable,
amazingly offensive,
and so cheesy, you could bait a mouse-trap with it!!
It's basically about several homeless denizens,
their junk-yard turf, the psychotic vietnam-vet who rules over the homeless kingdom,
and a liquor called Tenefly Viper that will melt any who drink it, into a puddle of paint, in a matter of seconds.
The dialogue is witty albeit painfully offensive to all.
And the gore is so over-the-top, you'll laugh as the bodies start to pile er......pool.
A plethora of cheesey special effects make this flick an absolute must own!!
It's the epitome of "so bad it's good" horror flix!!!
Essentially, it was waaaay ahead of it's time.
The two scenes at the end are the creme de la creme of both horror & comedy!
Not the mention the infamous game of keep-away involving an all too private possession. LOL!!!

**BONUS**
This particular edition of "Street Trash" comes with 2 Tenefly Viper stickers, so you can make your own bottles of the "Viper"....and melt your friends into puddles of joy.

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Tenefly Viper!!
It's the drink that melts in your mouth AND in your hands.

B-MOVIE MASTERPIECE!

Ive been a b-movie freak for over 20 years, and i have to say this is in my top 10!
Street Trash is one of the best b-movies of all time, if your into troma movies or any other movie in that catagory you gotta pick this movie up!
Street Trash keeps you laughing from start to finish, theres no slow parts, just pure sleeze! I hope this review helps you out.

"Well no I ain't planning on payin' for it, 'cause I ALREADY purchased it!"

'Street Trash' is very likely the greatest film you've never heard of. Ultimately plotless, it's basically a hobo soap-opera, with subplots of rotgut that causes the drinkers to melt into play-doh, gung-ho hobos going on a quest to secure a chicken dinner by shoplifting, a campy love story between the youngest hobo and the attendant of the junkyard they live on, etc. All to the backdrop of a soundtrack symphony of analog 80s synths, goofy cues, and cheesy synth love themes. So great.

The main plot in the movie revolves around a mysterious rack of old rotgut that a local NYC liquor store owner finds behind an old wall in his shop. Ever the enterpriser, he decides to sell the little bottles to the local homeless clientèle for a dollar a pop. And this little neighborhood is flooded with hobos. The main character here, our valiant hero Fred, buys a bottle but has it stolen by another hobo who ends up drinking it while doing his business on a toilet. He ends up melting into veritable play-doh and flushing himself down the toilet. Seriously, an Oscar-worthy scene. This is deemed by Imdb to be the main plot of the movie, but really it's only touched upon a few times. There are, as mentioned before, a ton of goofy slapstick-laden subplots.

My personal favorite part in the movie is where a big strapping black hobo named Burt makes a bet with Fred and his little brother than he can bring back a dinner of fried chicken for three bucks. He, cleverly, pockets a receipt on the ground outside a grocery store and proceeds to fill his gigantic industrial-strenght pants with every manner of bulky perishable imaginable. When he is caught and the store manager doesn't buy the receipt ploy, Burt crankily storms toward the store exit and ends up walking straight through the glass storefront with a shopping bag on his head. Needless to say, I was literally in tears laughing the first time I saw this part. And again, Oscar-worthy.

Suffice it to say that this is a movie you really can't describe, or defend as "of good quality." But snobbish critics forget that the main reason people go to the movies is to love, laugh, cry, etc. 'Street Trash' did all these to me and more. You will walk away a much better man/woman/animal upon watching it.

Now the question remains: Great movie? Or the GREATEST movie?

Great sleazy,cheesy,gory dark comedy horror

This movie is king of 80s cheese in my opinion.The speical effects are really great ecspeically considering the low budget,you can tell they put a lot of effort into filming this. I love the colors they used it adds a really grimey feeling. I have Frankenhooker and Basketcase and really enjoyed them as well.If you have seen these movies and liked them you'll have to see Street Trash as well. Next I'm getting Brain Damage also directed by Frank Henenlotter.
