The Warriors Movie Site Forum

Speaking of football (American, that is), what about Walter Payton? On a lighter note, I cried when I heard Adam Sandler was going to reprise the Burt Reynolds role in The Longest Yard. And I cried even harder after I spent eight bucks to see it. Me = sucker. But back to cheesey, I don't care what a...

Even though I'm a Cubs fan and I'm stuck with 'em forever (unfortunately), I still gotta pull for the Sox. This city needs a world series winner, big time. And the Sox are looking good for a SWEEP!
Bobby Jenks = badass.

Be lookin' good, South Side Boppers!

ASAP is right. Get it. I doubt anyone here would say it's as good as the Warriors, but I would say that some of the performances are right up there. Ajax is really good, Luther (playing another "Luther") is toned down somewhat but still has a couple good Warriors-type outbursts. Even Eddie and Nick ...

The Warriors portrayed one vision of late 70s New York, certainly not the city as a whole, but one perspective that, to me at least, gives you an intimate look at the city, however accurate or inaccurate that might have been. What other movies can you think of that, upon viewing, really give you a f...

I think it was from '81, with Stallone, Billy Dee Williams, and Rutger Hauer. Takes place in London and NYC. Interesting to see a different perspective on New York, but still close to the same time frame as the Warriors -- couple years later. Stallone is in his badass prime, pre-Rambo. He and Billy ...

"Who are the Warriors?" As a way to help the Riffs, describe the Warriors (the gang, that is, not the movie) in one word. To start things off, I'll submit "confident." Confident in their abilities to stick together, parlay with and/or waste wimps, bop their way past all the gangs and cops in NYC, re...

Interesting points. They do get over the disappearance of Fox pretty easily. I'll have to investigate this during my weekly viewing. Was there no other opportunity to mention the Fox? We never see them discussing who it was who actually shot Cyrus, but it can be assumed that sometime during the subw...

This was touched on in a recent Rembrandt topic, but I thought I would expand it to include all the Warriors. Certainly, as Cleon explains, everyone has a purpose to serve, whether it's to hit everything in sight, provide heavy muscle, or whatever. Perhaps no Warrior is completely useless. But which...

As you no doubt recall, Rembrandt's dad owns a hardware store, so Rembrandt got a discount on spray paint. When you have to hit everything in sight, to let people know that the Warriors were there, that can become costly. Besides, maybe he is the only one who knows how to write a W.

Remember that similar scene in Pulp Fiction. It was divine intervention. God came down from Heaven and stopped the bullet. To survive that night, the Warriors must have had God on their side. Of course, as was stated earlier, it's certainly possible that Cowboy is just so baaaad that the bullet does...

I also heard Shaquille Oneal yell out a "Can you dig it!" in a very Cyrus-type voice last year at a press conference. I'm guessing it was a Warriors and not a WWE reference.

Mr. Rem is 100% correct. Additionally, as you may recall, it was sometime in the 70s, not sure what year but certainly by 1979, that some of the street gangs, including the Riffs and ACs, had unionized. In order to cut rising payroll costs, gangs found they had to cut back on overtime. Thus, many of...

I think nine was chosen because, if you recall, the Baseball Furies' delegate to the Riffs' Planning Commission on Intergang Activities (PCIA) insisted on nine, hoping to be able to start up a baseball tournament while the truce was still on. It has been debated whether or not it could be a big meet...

I still say they shoulda wasted 'em! Besides, if by their silence the Riffs are agreeing, or at least not disagreeing, that the Warriors are indeed "the best," shouldn't the Riffs have realized that the Warriors would ultimately pose a threat sometime in the future? Why not waste them now, since you...
