The Warriors: Coney Island Chronicles

[The Glock]

Hey guys,

I've been working on script for a sequel to The Warriors, which starts directly after the movie. This is based on the VIDEO GAME's storyline, so expect some of the characters to be derived from it. Also, since this project is just for fun, the next chapter will introduce a CROSS-OVER with characters I believe that would fit well in The Warriors' universe.

Who are they? Let's just say come from a classic video game that was released in 1989, and hail from a distant city called "Metro City."



Enjoy!

The Warriors: Coney Island Chronicles (Scene 1)

FADES IN FROM BLACK, THE SONG "HOW MANY MORE TIMES" BY LED ZEPPELIN BEGINS TO PLAY.

EXT. SHOT OF BEACH SUNRISE, WITH WOODEN PIER IN THE FOREGROUND. SEVEN BLACK SILHOUETTES WALK UP FROM UNDER THE PIER AND TOWARDS THE CAMERA.

GUITAR RIFF STARTS. SHOOT TO SLOW PAN OF NEW YORK CITY SKYLINE AT DUSK AS "THE WARRIORS: CONEY ISLAND CHRONICLES" STAMPS ONTO CENTER SCREEN.

SONG PLAYS AS CREDITS SLOWLY APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR. MONTAGE OF GANGS HANGING AROUND, RUNNING IN ALLEYWAYS, FIGHTING, DIRTY STREETS, FACES OF GANG MEMBERS, RUNDOWN BUILDINGS, FLICKERING LIGHTS, EMPTY SUBWAY STATIONS, INSIDE OF EMPTY TRAINS, CHAINLINK FENCES, PIMPS, PROSTITUTES, GRAFFITI, GANG COLORS, ETC.

MORNING - UPWARD SHOT OF BUILDING TOPS. SONG FADES BEFORE THE BRIDGE. FOOTSTEPS CAN BE HEARD. PANS DOWN AND TRACKS SWAN, COCHISE, COWBOY, VERMIN, SNOW, REMBRANDT AND MERCY WALKING DOWN THE STREET. THEY LOOK DIRTY AND EXHAUSTED.

TWO WARRIOR SOLDIERS RUN UP TO THE GROUP.

SOLDIER 1
Swan!

SOLDIER 2
Warchief, what's going on man? First Cyrus gets wasted then the whole city's after us?!

SOLDIER 1
We heard you guys on the wire man! F*cking bopped past all those bullsh*t crews!

SOLDIER 2
We just saw a whole army of Riffs rumbling through our turf! What is going on?

SOLDIER 1
They say the f*cking Rogues did this shi*t! So why did they target us?! Where's Cleon?!

SWAN
(Sternly)
He got wasted.
SOLDIER 1 & 2
-What?! When?! Who the f*ck did it?!
-Holy sh*t! Are you serious?!

A FEW MORE WARRIORS ENTER IN THE BACKGROUND.

SWAN
(Dominant)
Look, Cleon put me second command, so I'm Warlord now. And we didn't just lose him, we lost Ajax and Fox to the pigs, so-

MERCY
(Interrupts)
Fox wasn't arrested.

EVERYONE LOOKS AT HER. BEAT.

SWAN
(Squinting)
What?

MERCY
(Hesitantly)
I saw him fighting with a cop in the subway... he was thrown onto the tracks as the train came...

REMBRANDT
(Clutching his wound)
Oh, Jesus Christ!

COWBOY
(Palms his head)
God Dammit!

COCHISE
Oh f*ck this is bullsh*t man!

EVERYONE BEGINS TO ARGUE.

SWAN
(Looks at Mercy angrily.)
Why didn't you tell me?

MERCY
I didn't think it was-
(VERMIN pushes her.)

ARGUMENTS
-Why should we believe you?! Ever since you came up in here sh*t has been blowing down our-
-What?! F*ck you!
-What if Cleon's still alive? We got to?
-Ajax and Fox man we lost our muscle and our scout! And he's f*cking dead?!
-Swan who is this bitch?
-Warlord should we send a warparty to the beach? The Riffs are-

SWAN
(Screams)
Alright shut up!

SILENCE. BEAT.

SWAN
(Authoritative)
Now that Cyrus is dead the truce off, now that means that this city is going to go apesh*t.
(Towards the two soldiers.)
The Rogues tried to frame us for his murder, but the Riffs tracked them to our turf, so they got parlay and we're not going to rumble with them. The Rogues are a f*cking grease spot but that's not our problem now.
(Looks at everyone with furrowed brow.)
Just because the Riffs sent the word that we're all clear doesn't mean any outfit is going to listen. We've made a lot of enemies, so if they're going to get payback, tonight is the night. We can't just sit here and wait for Cleon, because for all we know he's f*cking dead.

BEAT.

SWAN
(Announcing)
As of now, the strip is on lockdown. Nothing is coming in or out without me knowing. If anyone is coming for us, they're going to hit us hard and fast. I want warparties soldiering the streets every hour, I want the HQ block cleared until I say so, and I want squads posted up on every subway entrance. If any outfit tries to rumble on in here, I want them to taste f*cking pavement before they even step off the platform. Is that clear?

EVERYONE NODS.
COCHISE
You got it, Warlord.

SWAN
(Towards the two soldiers)
Get the word out.
(Towards the small Warrior crowd)
Everyone! Move!

THE ANONYMOUS WARRIORS SCATTER.

SWAN
(Points)
Snow, Cowboy, on me.
(Grabs Mercy's hand)
C'mon...

THE FOUR WALK OFF SCENE. BEAT. SHOT FOCUSES ON THE LAST THREE.

REMBRANDT
Unngg...
(Winces as he looks at the gash on his arm)
Damn, I need some Flash or something you guys...

COCHISE
Don't worry little man.
(Puts his arm around Rembrandt)
Let's go hit up Russ, you'll be grooving in no time.
(Looks at Vermin)
Hey you coming brother?

VERMIN
(Looks at the four walking off scene, then looks around the block)
Yeah, Yeah.

VERMIN STARTS FOLLOWING REMBRANDT AND COCHISE INTO A SIDE ALLEY.

VERMIN
Sh*t, one second your Scott-free then (smacks his fist into his palm) that dick is right back up your ass...

FADE OUT.
