The Warriors Movie Site Forum

I always hated the part were Ajax gets arrested in the movie , but I always wondered why Ajax didn't just brake the wooden part of the bench that he's cuffed to, he could have just lifted his foot or arm and smashed the stupid thing, please tell me what you think .

I don't know about breaking it, looks pretty thick and you would be at an odd angle to kick it, but who knows

Ya but remember when their running from the meeting Ajax breaks those boards, so how come he couldn't brake this one, i'm sure with enough strenght he would have broken it evenually.

what do I think??
i think this has been covered, about a million times! LOL

but, since we're covering it again, i always thought he was stupid for tossing the baseball bat so far away.

coulda been useful on the bench, or the fuzz! LOLOL

Yeah, this has been brought up many times before, but what the hell.  The wood they use on those park benches is incredibly tough.  Not only is it thick, but I'm sure it's chemically and pressure treated so it can stand up to years of punishment.  If Ajax had his bat he would've had a chance of breaking it, but I don't think he would've even scratched the paint by kicking and punching it.

Yeah, is just sad to see a great character go like that .

It is very hard to break one of thos bords especially when handcuffed to it. I would like to know why they dident just steal a car? or call a cab?  lol

Steal a car to get home - that's the first thought, just take The Warriors and pile them into a big Cadillac - or why not steal some bikes and gain some ground that way.  Of course there is the the matter of their colours on their back.

During the escape from the meeting, Ajax smashed the wooden door with his hands, I think he could break the bench maybe he was very aroused so his blood wasn't in the brain but in his penis.

Haha Nice one Doyle. This was a shockin scene in the book wasn't it?

The bench was preety big and thick and i dont think even ajax can break that bench.

He wasn't thinking straight.  He only had one thing in mind and that blinded him.  Yeah he could of thought about keeping the bat, broken the bench, or beat up the cop.  But he was thinking with Mr. Littlehead instead of Mr. Bighead.

Oh yeah, you're right mate, it was shocking 

Well just ike that old saying goes "shoulda, coulda, woulda".  SOme people just don't think before they do.  After all Ajax was very arrogant.  He probably fealt like the strongest, and most invincible man in the world, after taking on the baseball furies.  Ss throwing away the bat, and assuming a random woman sitting on a bench in central park, which was during an era where women were most vunrable, did not click to him.  There was even a story in the 70's about a woman who was raped there, and when she screamed no one came.  So who knows, Walter Hill, probably put that seen in there to give women hope, and ake people pay for their ats in life.  And to top it off, that bench was like stone, attached to the ground.  A body bulider would have a ard time.  We canall say, "why didn't Ajax do this, or why didn't Ajax do that, but like I said "shoulda, coulda, woulda".

i dont think he should of been the one to go he was a useful soilder
