Wasnt as violent as i was excpecting or hoping for but the movie was still good enough without it. All the gangs were pretty sweet but seeing them all fight would have gotten this movie 5 stars.

MCT:August 27, 2008best gang movie ever! from start to finish it gets more ridiculus with the outfits and script. its hard to beleive they were gonna do a re-make... fuck that shit.. how can you improve on this? oh and David Patrick Kelly is a blinding gang leader!
p.s i watched the directors cut which differed from the original with some cool comic book transitions. -
MCT:August 17, 2008Extremely dated and cheesy, but there were some moments that made me understand why this is a cult classic. If I was a teenage boy in the 70s this would have ruled.

Was probably the only movie I've seen where it was really predictable, and yet I really liked it. This is defently a 70's classic that should be seen for a good watch, however, it could be turned into an excellent movie if it was remade. Also, there is some great lines included in this like my personal favorite: " I'm gunna shove that bat up your ass and turn you into a popsicle" LOL, you should see the movie for that alone plus everything else. If I ever become a famous Hollywood director and writer and decided to make a remake of a movie along the way, this would defently be my first pick to remake because it has such a good idea and a good plot with good characters, and if it was made nowadays, its could be a more unpredictable, could improve the character development, and make the overall movie better in many ways. Dispite possible improvement possible in every aspect of this movie, this is still a really good movie thats fun.
P.S. This is yet another movie that Doomsday has riped off. -

While the script is somewhat dated, The Warriors use of its surroundings and hard knuckled brawls makes for a consistently tense and exciting thriller.

MCT:July 31, 2008Truly a great movie from start to finish if you like gang fights and all that theres plenty of it in here and this was just an overall 5 star movie.

MCT:July 27, 2008"This too is a story of courage," it starts out. Yeah, okay, courage ...until you remember, "Oh, right, our 'courageous' heroes are a bunch of thug gang members." So right off the bat they were losing me. Sure, I've watched plenty of movies with criminals as the lead characters, but at least they don't try to pretend they're something they're not.
Simply watching the film, I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the laughable gangs and their outfits. It was like they were doing a spoof of gang movies. But this is a movie that I actually was able to appreciate a bit more after watching the DVD extras. When they admit upfront they knew the costumes and makeup and even the names were silly, and it was intended to be more of a "comic book" atmosphere, I'm willing to give 'em a pass on those aspects.
I do like the basic concept - the idea of taking this ancient Greek story and translating it to a modern period - I always like interpretations like that. But as a friend of mine said, this is a film firmly stuck in the 70's, and that is a pretty ugly place to be stuck. A victim of an era of bad acting and even worse fashion. Still, it's watchable. I'm still uncertain why Walter Hill chose to do his own prologue voiceover rather than get a more fitting narrator. His voice is simply not right for it. -

It may be firmly stuck in the 70's, but director Walter Hill's journey through the depths of New York City has a legend unrivaled by most movies of the time. The movie caused such a stir in 1979 that the studio was forced to pull all of its advertising, due to complaints about the violence. The only gang movie to feature only 2 guns, it's filled with barenuckle brawling at its best. After being falsley accused of murdering a rival gang leader, The Warriors must make their way back to their home turf of Coney Island all the way from The Bronx. The problem is that every gang in the city is out to get them. The movie is a comic book come to life. All of the gangs wear matching outfits, some of them so brightly colored you'd have a hard time taking them seriously if they walked up to you. The names are also colorful, The High Hats, The Boppers, The Turnbull AC's, The Riffs, and my personal favorites, The Baseball Furies, a gang dressed in NY Yankee baseball uniforms, and bright face paint. Every gang member is in top physical condition, because director Walter Hill cast Broadway dancers in all the gang roles. The Warriors themselves are made up of multi-racial characters, led by Swann (Michael Beck) and Ajax (James Remar). Although a social statement at the time, the movie was never meant to be taken as seriously as it was back then. It's a cartoon. It's an odyssey through a strange land. Only in a movie could the streets of New York be completely deserted except for the roving bands of gangs. Walter Hill is famous for making "guy" movies. Movies that appeal totally at the testosterone level, and this is one of his best. The extended cut DVD offers some shuffled scenes, and comic book style transitions to drive home the feel and intention of the movie. There also exists an opening sequence that was not included in any DVD that shows The Warriors on the sunlit Coney Island Boardwalk when they are briefed about the meeting they will be attending. An interesting note....Director Walter Hill and one of the actors Thomas (Fox) Waites had such a falling out, that Hill removed Waites name from the credits of the movie.

This movie is fantastic and tells the story of a gang trying to make it all the way home. However every gang in the city is after them. The warriors was made in 1979 but still doesn't lose it's magic.

The worriors was set up perfect to be an ultra violent film. Somehow it turned out to be the most tame gang movie I've ever seen. It's a stylized movie that never comes near it's potential. If ever there was a movie that should be remade, this is it. The idea and the set up for the movie is great, but it never follows through on the action. The gangs in the movie need a makeover as well. Is anyone really going to be intimidated by a gang on roller skates wearing bibs? Oveall it's decent...but disappointing when you think of what this movie could be.

I can tell that if I had seen this when I was 14 , it would have been one of my favorite films of all time.
Still, Walter Hill crafts a fun, stylized early action film that's hard not to love. -

A classic movie, so good that it actually stirred real gang sentiments and had to be pulled from the theatres! Look at the original version, not the director's cut, it's more realistic...
-
MCT:July 6, 2008
As director Walter Hill never tires of reminding us, this story of a nine gang members fighting their way home to Coney Island after being betrayed at a hooligan summit in the Bronx is loosely based on Xenophon's "Anabasis." The rival gangs--who dress like baseball players or colorblind pimps--are more lovingly characterized than the individual Warriors, but that's part of the film's charm.

good film set in 1970's New York which is overun by gangs. when a truce meeting doesn't go all to plan, a gang called the warriors need to fight their way back to Coney Island as they are wrongly accused of killing a rival gang leader. good gang warfare especially in the bathroom fight. good acting by Brian Tyler, David Patrick ,Kelly Deborah Van Valkenburgh, Dorsey Wright, James Rema,r Mercedes Ruehl, Michael Beck and Thomas G. Waites

The Warriors is to New York gangs what the Outsiders was to greasers a little later. The story has all the right elements, even cussing, and is a look into a type of gang life.

This movie gets a little over-thought, but it's still damn well written. Not to mention well acted, beautifully directed, tightly paced... Dear Cthulhu, why don't they make movies like this anymore?!

MCT:June 15, 2008
this movie is so cool. it's gritty, it's got great characters and actors, and best of all, you can understand the storyline

This is one ridiculous movie. I can hardly explain it. Horrible acting. Do-able story, but not this way. It comes together terribly. If one day you find yourself watching this film don't stop short. You might as well finish it up so you can see the best/worst ending ever. "Waaaariors...come out and plaaayyyy....".

This movie is the shitz netz. I like the movie a million times more then the book cuz the book is boring and retarded. But, nevertheless, the book gave birth to this awesome movie and I kinda do have to respect it. =)

This movie is the 80s before the 80s. The feel of the movie reminded me of Escape from New York, which is totally cool. Everything is over the top in the best way. This is the rare movie where I don't care about character's motivations or anything like that, I just go with the flow, don't take it very seriously, and enjoy myself while watching.
