Don't expect some complicated story, go into it for the style, characters, and music. idk if OP plays video games but the movie is basically a video game in terms of how it progresses.
the story is typical of 70s movies wherein its not really all that much but the visuals and atmosphere is through the roof, which is something that modern cinema usually lacks due to shit bag cgi
It always cracked me up that its Jerry Horne from Twin Peaks doing that line.
The Warriors is surprisingly kino, 70s gritty eternal night thriller, good stuff yo
The game was a fricking sleeper cell hit. Not enough people played that game. Still remember picking it up from EBgames on ps2 bc I was a Rockstar dicksucker and would play everything they made. Hadn't seen the film, played the game first and watched the film bc of the game.
That shit was too good.
I saw the trailer for the game on the special edition DVD, almost shit my pants because it was like a year or two after the game had already been released and I'd never heard of a game, ebayed that shit immediately.

It was a Rockstar game which is weird. Weird they randomly decided to make a game based on a cult movie from the 70s. On ps2. Maybe Xbox too idk.
It took place before the events of the film, but you eventually merge timelines and play out the events of the film too. So it builds on the lore.
The gameplay wasn't anything crazy, but it was fun as frick. It's basically a beat em up. You go through the streets of New York and button mash and beat the frick out of people. Very rapid style fun combat. You use cocaine as a health refill and it gives you some kind of buff for a short period, I forget, I think it might make you faster and stronger for a bit.
That's really all there was to it but it was fun as hell.

You can get it for like $10-15 on PSN. It's missing some songs but is complete. I play it once a year because it's just too fricking good.
Was just gonna say that's not really a big deal, but I looked up what songs were missing and In The City is one of them.
That's the fricking theme of the movie, how did Rockstar not secure the fricking theme song?
For that alone, I take back what I said, pirate that shit.
Make sure to watch the 4k remaster that came out last year. It's the best remaster of an older film I've seen. Fricking outstanding. None of those shit comic book shots either.
/b/ and Cinemaphile- The Dingos The 1979 cult classic The Warriors originally featured a gay gang called the Dingos, but the gang was cut from the film due to budget constraints. The Dingos were to be leather-clad and owned Doberman pinschers. In the film, Swan is captured by the Dingos, but escapes later.
As a kid this movie had me wholeheartedly believing that Americans actually did get dressed up in elaborate matching costumes and go around fighting other costume gangs. I was crushingly disappointed when it turned out that the best you might get is a couple of troggs fighting over who's wearing the wrong colour shirt.
Also, funnily enough the book that the film is based off was written specifically written to attack the media's hollywood glorification of gangs and to show what real gang culture is like i.e. a hopeless, tragic situation where everyone around you is a malicious, cowardly bullies, who kill and rape without reason or discrimination because they're too stupid and immature to work out how consequences work or how to be a functional human (including you).
And then the hollywood adaptation turned the story into the most iconic depiction of gang culture as cool, powerful brotherhoods of street gladiators who get flashy costumes and pick up easy girls, lmao.
> Americans actually did get dressed up in elaborate matching costumes and go around fighting other costume gangs.
The White Nationalist scene is legitimately like this
Yeah, but there's no opposing costume gangs for them to fight except the black panthers and it doesn't really follow the spirit of the thing with gangs having their own theme and concept.
in the 60s and 70s, and probably even in the 40s and 50s lots of street gangs would wear custom matching outfits if they could afford it or could make them their selves, usually just a patch or paint on a vest or jacket, much like motorcycle gangs. It wasn't until the 80s and 90s that street gangs just said frick it and just wore whatever shit that has a certain color/had specific lettering on it.
whether it was because blacks were just too poor and/or lazy to get the custom gear, or they realized it looks fricking gay, i don't know.
Vests are lame compared to the elaborate costumes that hollywood portrayed gangs as though. I, and probably a lot of other people, actually thought that NYC and LA were literally Gotham and Americans were running around in their own batman gangs. Turns out the best you got was some biker looking dudes without bikes or even worse, just some dudes in plain clothes.

If it starts out with a comic book panel rambling about the 300 Spartans than you are watching the director's cut and should stop immediately and go find the original cut.
A mediocre movie with a fun aesthetic. The intro sequence is fun, and that's it. It's heavily, heavily, heavily overrated and everyone that claims to love it or hold it as one of their favorite movies is a tasteless know-nothing trend-chasing homosexual. There's nothing to hold onto in the movie beyond the aesthetic, you say "Waaaarrrioooors, come out to plaaaay" in the voice and buy a replica vest and say you're a "fan". But a fan of what?
There's not a single memorable fight in The Warriors. Suck my dick, the movie is overrated horseshit loved by insufferable homosexuals who are fans of things for the sake of being fans.
I recall one fight in the toilets being pretty good, visceral and chaotic with decent editing. I wouldn't consider it a great 'fight scene' movie though. Not sure I'd call the movie overrated as it's an average movie with a unique, fun and compelling style, and the atmosphere is top notch, it's like a 7/10
Saw this thread and decided to torrent it, just finished it, was pretty good solid 8/10.
Goddamn the Baseball Furies were pussies who relied on being scary
Why did they take the girl with them?
Did the OG Warchief die?
One of the most surreal kino experiences in film history
Prestige from beginning to end
It's not very story rich but it's cinematic as frick
This movie was so good Walter Hill spent the rest of his career remaking it
Extremely stylish and memorable movie.
Overrated shit and the only good characters are swiftly written out or underused. Streets of Fire better

CAAAAANNNN YOUUUU DIGGGG IT????
moronboomerkino
it's cool, but a bit blue-balled
“Warriors, come out and plaaay!”
It always cracked me up that its Jerry Horne from Twin Peaks doing that line.
The Warriors is surprisingly kino, 70s gritty eternal night thriller, good stuff yo
Warriors shows that we can get a Final Fight movie.
Bang bang, I am the warrior
muh homie
Kino. Watch the theatrical cut. The DX adds a bunch of bad comic book transitions
It's slower paced than you think, it's not some rockem sockem gang beatemup. But it's a good movie.
Read the book instead
Fun
Be sure to play the game, too.

Exactly how it went with me.
I saw the trailer for the game on the special edition DVD, almost shit my pants because it was like a year or two after the game had already been released and I'd never heard of a game, ebayed that shit immediately.
Tell me of this Vidya

the only way it could be better is if the female actors were sexier
they were pretty ugly
Magic. Whole lotta magic.

The fight scenes are all pretty good dude and most of it is highly stylized shots but yes we're all very impressed by your highbrow take thank you

Dubs don't lie, the best thing coming out of that movie is the ps2 game and the baseball gang
I’m obsessed with the baseball furies chase sequence. If you’re not, then bad news buddy, you’re a homosexual.
come out and play x100
We could remake this with all of the names for joggers, lunchtime rowdies, etc for all the gangs. Know what I mean? The SUV Drivers.
CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
