Time to let you in on a secret, people suck and they like retarded movies. That's about as simple as it gets.

i think this commet "sucked" and places you in a pretty nice group of people....


scarface "sucked"?


by the way review the rules on positive comments

The Warriors isn't a well known movie as Scarface that is why you don't see a lot of merchandise around for The Warriors.

Here's a tip- when a movie/ tv show has a HUGE cult following, but no merch...items start to squeeze in around the cracks in the 'grey' market called eBay.  (search for firefly/serenity shirts...you'll see what I mean).

Why, there's a little site called http://WWW.WARRIORSMOVIE.CO.UK that has a selection of Warriors shirts and posters for sale RIGHT NOW!  Why, it's located on their 'store' page!

Check it out!

I figured a whole lot of merchandise would come to stores along with the sweet ass game and the new DVD, but I guess people just don't care enough about The Warriors... 

warriors isn't that maketable i supose it is about gangs after alll

It's like David Harris said one time "You got a gang called the Baseball Furies where they use baseball bats like ancients swords...This Movie was WAY ahead of it's time." And right now 2006 is IMO a good time to revive it. After all we do have the Mezco Toys, and the Game out, and some Warrior Themed shirts from Rockstar Games, too. And to be honest it's fairly ironic because today you have stuff like "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" being done and getting great reviews. While The Warriors is still an underground cult, and still (probably IDK) being regarded as a "film glorifying violence." It's the same way with A Clockwork Orange, it was shown only in 1971 (then the U.S. yadda-yadda) and only because of a few reported incidents it was pulled. And that's what Paramount did with The Warriors they pulled off the theatres (sp?) to avoid incidents involving gangs. It's kinda hard to believe that you'd be influenced to pick a fight because you saw Mike Beck or Jimmy Remar fight in a film. I too am sort of pissed off that this film did so great back then but is being ignored, like ACO and Alien, Or anyother cult favorite.

Keep in mind too...just because there's no Warriors product on the shelves doesn't mean that 'nobody cares about the Warriors."  There are all kinds of licensing hoops you need to jump through to make product legally.

And a game has to be HUGE for it to spin off into a clothing line.  GTA is way bigger than the Warriors game, but you're still not finding San Andreas shirts in the local JC Penny!

The problem (not really a problem, but you know) is that this is a Rated R film!  You can't exactly market a film full of gangs, violence, and attempted rape to the buyers at Wal-Mart.  They're just not going to let it on the shelves!

And where in CA are you basing this from? When the game was released there was a Baseball Fury billboard about two miles from my house. And of course the videogame stores had all the merchandising stuff out.

And why do te Blockbusters, etc have only one copy? Because it would not be cost effective to have a bunch of copies. it's a cult movie that is not the best ever made. It is entertaining but it is not an utterly fantastic film.

Maybe there's not a big enough following in California. After all it's a New York based gang movie.

ok, lets not forget scarface is hiphop motivated


scarface also bombed out and got picked up HUGE by the hiphop crowed, and it gave it life in its lungs.

while the warriors also have in part, its nothing like the way scarface has

and you cant deny that rappers and rap music are the driving force behind the movie scarface and the tony montaina role being so big years after.



maybe with some luck, the same will happen with the warriors

It has to start somewhere, it all begins here. If you have a warriors shirt of whatever......wear it!!

That's what Game Stop was invented for, and KB Toys, and Toys R Us. Besides I'd love to see McFarlane Toys do figures of The Warriors after all they do awesome stuff. Have you seen they're Movie Figures?

Dont get me wrong, scarface is awesome, im into the hole hip hop culture, but i would pick warriors better anyday ,anytime. Maybe kartoon could rap about the warriors and help us out.
(just my opinion)
