Just what the SUBJECT says. Copy of THE WARRIORS with the TV scenes incorporated back in. From the seller:

Here is the original R-rated Theatrical Version of The Warriors extended with the extra footage found exclusively on the prime-time broadcast version re-incoporated back into to the film to make it even more complete. Although Walter Hill did release an Ultimate Director's Cut version which dumbed the film down to making it play like a PG-13 comic book gone live-action and was panned by all those who bought it hoping it would improve on the "original" version - but didn't, here it is once again in all it's glory and then some. The story about a gang from Coney Island that winds up getting framed for the murder of a gang "messiah" who wants to unite all gangs into one powerful army, and have to fight their way back tooth and nail to their home turf and clear their name is a great escapist stylized action film jumping from action to suspense back and forth throughout. Featuring superb cinematrogaphy by Andrew Laszlo and a riveting soundtrack this is as good as pure excitement can get. The Director's so-called cut is a mess compared to this true "ultimate extended version of the original classic!"

After adding to my cart, this message appears

$492.01 needed before you qualify for free shipping.

you can always buy several dozen more dvd's and open up your own virtual dvd rental shop

I gueeeeeeessss 63 copies qualifies as several dozen...

if you actually get this, let me know how it is

I just ordered it, but changed at the last minute from credit card to PayPal, because the ordering page is NOT on a secure server

I also fear that the "extended" scenes will be markedly different from the regular film; however, for just 7.99, i'm taking the gamble

i hear the extended scenes are merely regular scenes in slow motion

why must you torture the children so?

I asked the seller some questions:

1) Q: "are the scenes re-inserted to the movie or just before the actual movie?"   
  A:  The scenes have been seamlessly spliced back into the original "theatrical version",
          However since the extended Prime-Time Network TV footage was originally
          in fullscreen to begin with, the scenes have been "matted"/letterboxed to match     
          the rest of the film's original widescreen aspect ratio. There's a special features
          section on the disc's menu where you can view the extended scenes
          seperately in fullscreen too, so you can compare them. So the recap, the extended
          TV footage can be found both - spliced back into the film and letterboxed to match
          whole feature, or you can view the extended scenes seperately in the special
          features in fullscreen.

2) Q:  "Also, what is the quality? VHS quality? DVD?"
  A:  I'd be B.S. you if I told the that extended Prime-Time TV footage looked as good as
          the rest of the footage - that being the rest of the footage used from the "original
          theatrical version" is from the first DVD release - because it is not. It appears to be
          first gen VHS (but an analog cable source) from someone who taped it back in the 
          the late 80's or early 90's. So there is a definite variation between the main movie
          itself and the re-inserted extended footage. The extended footage is a tad grainy
          (again being from an obvious analog cable source, and not digital), and the colors
          are bit washed out, however asides those obvious imperfections, the footage and
          audio have been seamlessly looped, synched, and letterboxed to match the film
          perfectly.

So there you have it the complete lowdown on THE WARRIORS Extended TV Composite Version, hopefully that answers your questions in full, and again thank you very much for checking us out. Season's Greetings!

4NIK let us know how it is. Prob going to pick it up too. I have VHS with the scenes inserted, but would like a DVD.

N.B.: if you pay by PayPal, the popup link is incorrectly formatted, as it contains a generic adddress

wait for them to email you the correct request

They emailed right back so i don't think they are a scam. I'll contact them directly when I am ready to buy. 

oh, no, I was not implying any type of scam

merely that they've not fully converted their "storefront" template

it still contains a few non-specific leftovers, like:



Terms and Conditions

1. Payment - State payment policy ...

2. Refunds - State refund policy ...

3. Some more Rules - Some more rules, etc..
