Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Street Trash is a 1987 horror/splatter movie written by Roy Frumkes and directed by James Muro. Neither are well known for anything else, although Muro's steadicam work in this movie was so impressive that he later found regular work as a Hollywood camera operator. You may have heard of one of the films Muro worked on - Titanic (1997).The plot, loosely defined in this context, follows two young homeless brothers, Fred and Kevin, who live in a junkyard ruled by Bronson, a psychotic and traumatized Vietnam veteran. One day, the owner of a nearby liquor store discovers a crate full of Tenafly Viper: bottles of booze from the 1920's that had been stashed away behind a grate in the basement. Seeing an easy way to make some money, he decides to sell the Viper for a dollar a bottle. The local homeless population, needing to spend their money frugally, take advantage of this offer. There's only one catch: anyone who drinks the Viper melts into a streaming, day-glo ooze while screaming in horror.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Rape as Drama: Another scene in which a crowd of derelicts brutally gang rape a poor drunken woman to death has a much, much darker tone.

Ax-Crazy: Bronson, the ruler of the junkyard, has no qualms about using his knife. This would be a knife he made from a human femur bone.

Black Comedy Rape: Frank Schnizer, the owner of the junkyard, makes an attempt with Wendy, his young assistant. The tone of the scene, along with the background music, makes it clear this effort is meant to be Played for Laughs. This goes into Crosses the Line Twice territory when that same music plays while Frank sees a woman's corpse...
