The Warriors

Anyone like this old movie as much as I do? I can't get enough of it. One day I'd to make that trek across the city, without all the fighting.

Brilliant movie.Have watched it many many times.

Lampens · 08-06-2009, 04:14 AM

Looks like an eighties Michael Jackson video clip

one thing always bugged me......why didnt they just take a taxi? bronx to coney island probably wouldnt have been much more than 20 bucks then.

Harpozep · 08-06-2009, 04:40 AM

Just sold out of the Sequel to The Warriors movie today.
It is a Comic Book titled Warriors Jailbreak.

The #1 Issue came in/sold out and I am ordering more today. Seems like the old movie has a life of it's own. I've always liked it.
"Come out and play " Indeed!

One of my all time favorites!

That and "Streets of Fire".

DRF · 08-06-2009, 07:40 AM

Ya i really like it,was a staple of movies to rent when video first came out. I recently bought the directors cut version-its okay but I think I prefer the theatrical one.

circusboy28 · 08-06-2009, 07:40 AM

First saw The Warriors at the drive in many years ago.

I bought a copy when it came out on dvd and I was surprised how good it still seemed - most old memories like that tend to disappoint when revisited.

Exactly.

I guess there wouldn't have been much of a movie then. Haven't seen it in years but I remember liking it.

geochem1st · 08-06-2009, 09:33 AM

Thought it was pretty laughable, especially the dudes in the baseball outfits. A street gang looking like that in NYC?

Love the Joe Walsh song 'In the City'.... best part of the movie.

Dave1968 · 08-06-2009, 09:41 AM

Baseball Fury's...Fantastic!! What a great film!! I used to watch it when I should've been at school a long time ago.. My mum bought the soundtrack, still got it somewhere! Great music and afro's too!!!

Interview with the director and actors:

Beck: Because New York is a 24 hour city, there was always a crowd of people hovering around the outside of what we were doing. I always thought, it’s four o’clock in the morning, why are these people up?

Baxley: It was a different time then. The city was so depressed. We were shooting in the Bronx up in the projects and they were tossing bricks off at the crew.

Weiss: My scene at Avenue A we had to cancel filming. There was a double homicide up the block.

Fleet Emerson: [Hill] wanted some real gang members for the big meeting that was filmed in Riverside Park. We did get some for him, as many who weren’t being prosecuted at the moment. Knowing New York you’d find some on any corner. We had off-duty police officers that were put into the crowd to see to it that nothing really happened.

Beck: There were instances of gang members coming and wanting to challenge us, but it never got through to us. There were bodyguards there. I certainly saw a couple of kids get their clocks cleaned by some of the security guys.

Michos: They would say, “You think you’re tough?” And we’d say, “Nah, we’re just actors.”

Beck: One night we were shooting in the Bronx and Walter wanted the look of this particular street which had all these derelict, burned out buildings. The powers in the real gang world had not been paid off in this particular locale, which was the usual manner that people were taken care of. (You know how movies are made in New York.) So out of these derelict buildings, on the second and third floors all these faces of people, who we learned later were gang guys (and there were a ton of them), just started yelling and screaming and making so much noise that we couldn’t shoot there.

Hill: We were out on the streets and occasionally in very rough places where we weren’t totally welcome. I don’t think there are any extraordinary stories about it. There would be threats. There were a couple confrontations as I recall. We had security. It’s not that I didn’t take it seriously, but I was trying to direct a movie and there are people who take care of that type of thing.

Weiss: There was a gang called the Dingoes and in that gang were Kevin Bacon and John Snyder who plays the gas station attendant. The Dingoes were supposed to be a gay gang with Doberman Pinchers and blonde wigs. They were supposed to capture Michael Beck’s character.

Beck : I remember hearing that in Paris it was playing like the Rocky Horror Picture Show. People were lining up for midnight showing as characters. This was within four or five years of it’s initial release. At that point I knew that this picture has got a different kind of thing going on now.

Kelly: Adam Sandler told me a story about Eddie Vedder having the “Warriors, come out to play” chant on his answering machine for years.
