Filming location of bronx meeting

[Riff]

Hello all,

I am currently in NYC and I wanna go to a few Warriors locations whilst I am here.

I would really like to find the park they used to film the big Bronx meeting at the start of the movie, I have read on here that it was in Riverside Park on the upper west side. Can anybody tell me a more specific location within the park, is it level with a certain street for example, is there anything to look out for etc?

I did look at the filing locations page but no mention of it there?

I did go up to 72nd street station though thanks to that page and it was great to see the doors they ran out of, its mad seeing for real, after 30 years of watching that movie I finally saw it for myself. My girlfriend couldnt understand what all the fuss was about lol!!

Anyway, any help much appreciated.

Ah, just found a thread on the general chat, seems the answer to my question is there, its at the end of 97th Street, which is actually very handy as I plan to go up to 100th Street for the Furie chase location.

Print this off or make a few notes.

- Riverside Park between W 96th and 97th St. (conclave)
- W. 100th St. (Baseball Furies chase)
- W. 100th St. and Riverside Dr. (the big firefighters' memorial where they jumped over a park bench)
- around W. 99th and Riverside Dr. (the steps which the Furies chased the Warriors down) The 1 train runs through here (96th St. and 110th St. Cathedral Pkwy stations are close by)

- 72nd St. subway, where the Warriors and Furies first meet

- Speedy Lock and Door Co. on Avenue A, off E. 1st St. (candy store where Luther makes 1st phone call)
- little auto repair spot, NE corner of Great Jones St. and Bowery St. (gas station scene) Lower Eastside-2nd Av. station is closest to these. F and V stop here (V runs weekdays only)

- Union Square subway, where Punk follows Swan around

- 45th Rd. between 21st St. and 23rd St.(Queens), where they met the Orphans (take the 7 train to 45th Rd. Court House Square station) (the greeting card store, seen in the movie, is now a barber shop)

- Broadway Junction (Brooklyn), where the Turnbull ACs chased them (the A, C, J, and L trains stop here. The Z is rush hour only). I'm told that the station they were chased to no longer exists.
- walk up to Stewart St. and go right. When you get to the end, you'll see the pedestrian tunnel where the Warriors got out of the rain. To the left is Cooke Ct., where that wall is in that scene
- walk through the tunnel and you'll be heading right for the grave yard (Evergreen Cemetery). Hickory Knoll is where this scene was, and is near the entrance. The cemetery closes at 4:30pm.

- New Utrecht Av.- 62nd St. station (Brooklyn), where they ran from the Orphans after the explosion (the D, M and N trains stop here. The D and M run above the street, so, when you get off, follow the signs to these, if you're taking the N. The N runs through the cut). I didn't see much else that I recognized here.

- Hoyt-Schermerhorn subway (Brooklyn), where most subway station scenes were shot (the A, C, and G trains stop here). You probably won't be taking the G, since it runs between Queens and Brooklyn. It's the only train that doesn't go into Manhattan)

Thanks a lot for that, will be really useful.

I am going to Coney tomorrow and I definately plan to go to 100th and 96th streets. Will fit as many other bits in as I can.

I went up to Harlem and the South Bronx today which was an amazing experience, I have always wanted to go to the Bronx so to finally get there was really special. Nothing really Warriors related there other than when you see the subway and street names some of which you hear or see mentioned in the movie.
