What if The Warriors was directed by someone else?

Post by Scurvy Dog »

This should be a fun topic. Pick another director, from any point in movie history, to direct The Warriors. Assume the same basic plot and actors - only the director is different. So... who would you pick?

Here are a few directors I think would make it interesting:

1. Quentin Tarantino (would be a little more violent, and a lot more profanity)
2. Paul Greengrass (directed some of the Bourne films, more intense)
3. Christopher Nolan (directing the current Batman reboot, would make it really intense)
4. Mel Brooks (would be a lot more vulgar and scatalogical)
5. Oliver Stone (would make it a conspiracy film, exploring deep into the Cyrus assassination)

What do you think? Obviously we have tons of directors to choose from - what would you watch?

One I would hate to see would be George Lucas. Half the movie would be CGI, and Rembrandt would probably be a lot like Jar-Jar Binks. And of course, Cyrus would have turned out to be Luther's father!

How about Joel Schumaker, who directed the last Batman franchise (before Nolan). That would probably re-introduce the Dingos, with form-fitting vests, complete with nipples molded into the leather.

Or John Hughes, with a "Breakfast Club" approach. They could focus on some of the gang members who were arrested, bonding in their cell.

lol the dingos he would do lol

and it would be cool if John Hughes did because i think he would make it where all the gang members would work together to bust out of jail

anybody think Rob Zombie should make a remake of this movie, i think it would be GREAT, as long as it is the same time period, more gangs involved so we have more stuff to work with, and good ol' NEW YORK CITY

Directed by Andy Warhol, it would be about 17 hours of The Warriors sitting around and smoking, not saying anything. You would hear the ticking of a clock and a fly buzzing. Rembrandt would be eating a banana.

Kevin Smith?
Spielberg?

That would be something. Would it be black-and-white, 16mm, and silent? Maybe with an organist in the theater?

Make it super 8mm, that's the only projector I have, the 16mm one is too big and too loud for a house!  :D

Hannah and barbera would be good. Very violent but no lasting damage. And instead of seeing the Dj's lips you'd just see her stockings and slippers.
