Not a horror movie this time around, but a cult classic for sure. I had never seen this before watching it this week. I can understand why it is so loved by so many. Lots of atmosphere, characters and cool dialogue. So many one liners from this movie are used over and over again in pop culture...I had a lot of fun watching this one. Definitely recommended. Basically a top gang boss gets killed at a rally and by deception, the gang known as the Warriors get blamed for it. Most of the film is their journey back across the New York City landscape as they are hunted by all of the rival gangs on their way home to Coney Island.
"You're standing right now with nine delegates from 100 gangs. And there's over a hundred more. That's 20,000 hardcore members. Forty-thousand, counting affiliates, and twenty-thousand more, not organized, but ready to fight: 60,000 soldiers! Now, there ain't but 20,000 police in the whole town. Can you dig it?" -- Cyrus --
One of my favorite "gangs" in the movie, The Furies - all dressed up in to baseball uniforms with painted faces and baseball bats!
Cool "oh yeah" moment - David Patrick Kelly plays Luther who helps to hunt down The Warriors. I know him best as T-Bird from the first Crow film. He was a lot younger here and had a bit more hair as well.
"Warriors....COME OUT AND PLAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!"
