The Warriors Movie Site Forum

My mom said when The Warriors first came out everyone went real gang crazy everyone was trying to start gangs she said her brother my uncle and his friends started a local chapter of the Turnball A.Cs .You think itll be the same response to the remake.

hi justin,
i think your moms winding you up(jerking you off)although she could be right about gangs sprouting up in the states(i wouldn't know cos i'm in the uk)but i thinks she's kidding.no,gangs won't sprout up if there's a remake cos the remake won't touch the original so there.

WELCOME TO THE SITE THOUGH BUDDY.....AND REMEMBER WHEN YOU SEE THE BEACH,YOU'RE HOME

Ok lets look at one thing.
yes lots of those who saw the movie wanted to join a gang.
Many citys got major Gang wars.
Besides that the real gangs rioted saying that isn't what real gangs would do.
My dad was there and he like 13 years old. he ran with a teen gang that lasted for like 3 months. Two of the members died three are crippled and the rest just fought with others.
It probably wouldn't happen but it could!

Wen the movie came out lots of gangs became more violent and there was a protest against the movie because it promoted gang violence. As for the remake I doubt it will start gangs up like it did in the past. People are devoted to things like they used to be.

I could see why there would be a rally against the movie!

A lot worse films come out with much worse violence and such.

The Warriors isn't any more violent then your everage Kung Fu Film!

Yeah your right but they thought it supported gang violenece

When kids see nijas on T.V. they think its just as real as life it self!

times have changed,they'll be no violence

grab a popcorn and soda, and enjoy the movies!...

Hmmmmm.........Do I think the remake will cause gang violence....no.

Do I think the remake will be blamed for gang violence.....of course.

Just ask Tipper Gore. Video games, movies, and music are the cause of all of the world's woes

But seriously, as others have said, we live in a different time and age then when the original came out.

When 6 year old girls gan get killed in a drive by, when families can get gunned down for driving in the wrong color car, or when you can get gunned down in the street for wearing the wrong color baseball cap, I hardly think anything shown in a movie could push the envelope any further.

In a book i'm reading at the moment called Coney Island Lost and Found it states the The Homicides (The gang that got upsaet when The Warriors was spayed on Stauch's Bath House) went on a rampage while watching the film in Coney.

I would be surprised if the new movie did cause any trouble as it can't be any more graphic then any other film released.

That is a terrific book. Just got it myself recently. You must be getting excited Jamie..it's almost April!

Lets look at one thing a interesting example.

When Eminem realeased his cd how many law suits did he go through because young males (Both black and White) Were arreseted for murder and gang activity?
Alot.........Now lets change the word eminem and Cd to Warriors and the Movie.
See my connection thats how the world works.

Yeah trying not to think about it too much!

Trying to figure when to go to Coney as so many things to do!

The whole subject on Gang Violence.. it was during the 70's but you cannot say that it does not still exist.. As long as people are upset with society,you will see a uprising with Gangs..
