Saint NIck Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hi Everybody! Since the first time I saw it back in '80 on HBO, till just last night putting in the DVD, this has always been a fave to watch. Yeah, the acting may not be Oscar-worthy = that's all politics anyway; but the storyline I think is very good. Some of the one-liners used and the action sequences are hilarious, especially with the character "Ajax"; Walter Hill did a superb job with this film. The character who sings, "...Warriors, come out to play..." is the same guy who played "Sully" in Commando; the guy Arnold lets go. Friends, a thread has been brought up about 'DVD bonus features/extras. While I have The Warriors on VHS, I also have two copies of the DVD. The second copy is the 'Ultimate Director's, Collectors' Edition' and, of course, that one has lots of great insight stuff regarding the film; may run about 20 bucks at Best Buy. Take care.

Revised his character in 48 hours with Eddie Murphy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-D-RocK- Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Cult classic. Probably considered tame by today's standards, but back in 1979 it was one bad ass movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pags Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Without a doubt one of my favorite movies of all time.

Ancient Ways Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 awesome. The band I was in when I first saw it wrote a really bad song about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 One of my guilty pleasures. I own it and watch it once a year or so. I hate the Eagles, but I love Joe Walsh's "In the City" because of this film. Everytime I hear it, I think of the movie. "Somewhere out on that horizon... I know there must be something better..." The gang is a little weak compared to real gangs, don't you think? Maybe three of them (and I'm being generous) could survive a real gang fight. I know it seems like just a mainstream picture full of violent exploitation, but it actually has deep roots. It's based on a Greek story, Xenophon's "Anabasis," the tale of a band of Greeks caught behind Persian lines that had to battle their way back home. Everything from naming the king of the gangs "Cyrus" to the final showdown on the beach comes right out of this ancient Greek text. The black female DJ even acts as a kind of "Greek chorus." So yeah... I love this movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floydfanatic111 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Always one of my favorite movies. Over the Edge was to have been released at this time as The Warrior but fear of fights breaking out prevented it. Ajax was the movie.

Come out to plaeiyay! Great scene! Anyone see Dreamscape (1984)? He was the creepy bad guy in that as well. And The Last Man Standing with Bruce Willis he played Doyle.

progrush2112 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 One of my absolute favorites of all time. Wanted to see this movie for a long time since I saw it on VH1's I Love the 80s. Over Christmas break, I saw that it was on AMC late at night. So I was like hey, what the hell, and stayed up to watch it and was blown away. The soundtracks very hip and the plot is great! Got the Director's Cut DVD a few weeks ago and have watched it almost weekly. The Baseball Furies are my favorite gang besides the Warriors, the first time I saw them waiting for the Warriors at the station I got chills.
