The Path of The Warriors
Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2007 5:20 pm
Hey!
This is my first post and I wanted to share my weekend with you all. I was born and raised in New York then I moved to DC then to Maryland when I went to college. The Warriors has always been a favorite of mine especially because they filmed the movie in New York. I traveled to High School from Queens to Brooklyn for 3 years and I know New York and the subway system like the back of my hand.
This past weekend I took my older sister on a little 5 hour trip through New York to revisit the film locations of The Warriors. What made it great was that she lives in The Bronx so it was easy to start our trip there. I used my portable DVD player to play the movie as we watched the scenes in the movie.
We first went to the Cemetery to see where they shot those scenes. I then drove to Manhattan to visit the Conclave location in Riverside Park (which is supposed to be Van Corlandt Park in The Bronx), in this same park is the scene where the Baseball Furries chased them into the park. We walked along the entire path to the area where Ajax was arrested and then to the stairs where Swann left Snow and Cowboy.
We then continued our trip to 72nd Street where the beginning of the Baseball Furries scene was filmed. After this we went to the neighborhood of The Orphans. I found the exact location where Mercy followed the Warriors down the street before The Orphans caught up with them. The scene where Swann throughs the explosive on the car. The entire block where this was filmed is still the same today.
We ended the trip at Coney Island with lunch at Nathans Famous. We walked along the boardwalk to end our tour. I am filming my own documentary this spring '07 so stay tuned.
