 The film was produced by "Night Flight" creator Stuart S. Shapiro.Michael Wilmington of "Los Angeles Times" stated ""Mondo New York" (Times- rated Adult for offensive language and repulsive situations) has some small value as an uncensored record of these highly regarded and controversial performance artists.But, mostly, it's a movie which expects us to react like the bored voyeurs eyeballing the geek while the blood spurts from his teeth."
