Hmm, good question. It seems as though the truce was called off after Cyrus was shot. If this is true, then the Riffs will have to "bop" their way back to the Bronx. Then again, they are the biggest gang in New York, so perhaps others will think twice about messing with them. It is probably a given that the Riffs were only interested in getting revenge for their fallen leader rather than take over burroughs of other gangs.

adios,
Actually The Riffs are from Manhattan. The Gramercy section of Manhattan is actually on the east side on the 20's streets, and some of the teens streets, including 14th street I believe, which is where the Union Square station is. Gramercy Park is also in this area.

The Riffs probably had the big meeting in the Bronx because they felt that particular park was a good spot, and Central Park would have been too difficult to hold such a meeting, it being the main park in all of NYC.
Big Cyrus. He was gonna run the whole city...what crap that was.

How do you suppose the Riffs would have reacted if they found Ajax joining in with slaughtering the Rogues?

Its watchable beacuse it's cult classic. Very old movie, but still made by good quality.

The Warriors have best movie story in their times (70's).

Peoples just wanted to see that movie about gangs, cops, fights......... That was interesting to them.

Special effects didn't have great sucess in that time, and filming too...

Story was written in so many ways that should be interesting and i'm glad for it.
