There is no such thing as a stupid question.  I believe that.  Sometimes things test my faith.  That Furies scene was killer from the get.  Right when Ajax screams, "Where are they!"  I get chills.  Then Swan's on the spot decision to cut behind the Furies with Snow was true generalship.  Ajax courage for his comrade and the unity, albeit short lived, that Swan and Ajax had was worth every penny.

I liked this scene.
We already knew the Furies were one of the toughest gangs, but at that point you don't think much of the Warriors as all you have seen them do is run, that scene was awesome as you realsied how tough the Warriors were. You also realised Ajax wasn't all word, that he was actually tough as hell.

It's so stupid at the start. The guy stands there showing Ajax his 'skills' and the other Furies could have beat on Ajax but they stood there as Ajax watched, then eventually whooped the dudes butt! Also, Swan and Snow took off into the shadows, then followed the Furies. Number one, why would Ajax and Cowboy keep running instead of diving into shadows too, and number two, why in the hell did Swan and Snow follow? They should have went into the shadows, got out of the park, and got to the train station  :lol: Sometimes Warriors confuse me.

I don't think you really understand what this movie's about.  Warriors aren't gonna duck out on their bro's.  Swan and Snow peeling off into the woods makes perfect sense.  They were outnumbered by the Furies, so they pulled a flanking maneuver, coming up behind them unexpectedly.  And, if Ajax and Cowboy had followed them, obviously the Furies would have known that they had all gone into the woods and would have chased them there.  Just good strategy.

I really wouldn't wanna go to the conclave with you.. ;)

My only complaint about it was that it was fairly short... but every second was awesome while it was on.

I wish the fight would of been longer. Also, the green face Fury should of let someone else get the first swing instead of him, once the green Face went down first, I knew the gang wasn't going to promise much of a good fight.

  Exactly KM Swan was thinking of opening a flank from the back.  Smart leadership!

A bit off topic.

But the move Swan and Snow pull off (rear flank), isn't that Geronimos tactics?
My dad mentioned that, and it got me wondering.

Wow I caught a lot of heat for that..  :( point is if they had of all went into shadows furies would chase them in but what if they couldn't find them in the dark.. ofcourse Lazlo did a good job sticking them lights in the trees, so there wasn't a really dark place LOL

its litesaber not saver ;), and I agree in a way, but like I said. That fight was ment to make the warriors look bad a**. I mean that last shot where you see all the furies laying on the ground, you just think wow! And it was in no way chezze at all, it just seemed that way because it is old.

Personally, I don't like it when one of the Furies is attacked from the back.  That just isn't right.  And as some of you here have remarked, it seems as if the rest of the clowns are just standing there waiting to be punched.  A confrontation with the 'skinned headed beeps' would had been great.
