Cast

Reception

A reviewer for the New York Daily News gave the film a score of two stars, noting that the "invincible heroics" of Murdocco's character "grow irritating", but commending the performances of Obregón and Venokur.[5]

Brian Orndorf, in a retrospective review of the film for Blu-ray.com, wrote that it "[finds] success when it stops trying to be anything more than a VHS-ready bruiser that loves to shoot up characters and burn everything else to the ground."[6]

Home media

L.A. Wars first received a home video release in June 1994. In May 2020, the film was released on Blu-ray and DVD by Vinegar Syndrome.
