Cyrus, the leader of the most powerful gang in New York City, the Gramercy Riffs, calls a midnight summit for all the area gangs, with all asked to send nine unarmed representatives for the conclave. A gang called The Warriors are blamed for killing Cyrushe gives his speech. They now have to cross the territory of rivals in order to get to their own 'hood. The Warriors slowly cross the dangerous Bronx and Manhattan territories, narrowly escaping police and other gangs every step of the way.
I thought this was a great movie given its year of making. Although some may scoff at the costumes, you cannot take away the degree of realism in many scenes and in actual fact is not THAT far from the truth for that era. The characters are played excellently and most (especially in the Warriors gang) have their own identity/personality. I think if you like fast paced action movies, are not concerned with the violent (albeit realistic) side, have not seen this film and you watch it with an open mind, take into account the year etc then you should enjoy it very much. I have watched this film many times over the years since its release and STILL enjoy it, maybe the nostalgic element is part of its longevity for me personally, but, regardless of this it IS a great film - check it out if you have not already done so and ENJOY!
The Warriors is one of those movies that you walk out of and you don't quite know what to think. The premise is that a large conference of New York street gangs is being held, primarily for the purpose of organizing mass mayhem. The Warriors, a Coney Island gang, is in attendance, when suddenly the charismatic leader, Cyrus, is shot. The Warriors are blamed for the murder which they did not commit, and have to fight their way back home from the Bronx with every street gang in the city in hot pursuit. The story is from Xenophon of Greek Mythology about a small group of soldiers trapped behind enemy lines.<br/><br/>This movie works for a variety of interesting reasons. First of all, it is topical–gangs are still tearing the country apart, and back in 1979 when the film was made the problem was even worse. However, this film does not remotely try to be realistic. Rather, it is simply a thriller that affords the audience a sort of weird vicarious enjoyment that they might get from being in a gang. The movie takes us through rumbles, car bombings, fist-fights with cops, stings, and other "exciting" things. The movie features crazy costumes, including gangs with baseball uniforms and bats, gangs on roller skates, female gangs that seduce then murder, large imposing gangs of African-Americans whose discipline seem to invoke the image of the Black Panthers. This is really comic book or graphic novel stuff, and it is done with great pizazz.<br/><br/>And you do enjoy it. The treacherous journey through the city is really hair-raising, and the ending is satisfying. There is a visceral quality to the movie–somehow, it really helps us process the whole tragedy of the gang phenomenon. Most films will do this through a realistic drama. The Warriors does it by transforming the phenomenon into something else, something like a dream-like fantasy.<br/><br/>Some people won't like it–it is violent and pretty preposterous. If you are into that sort of thing, however, the Warriors is a must- see.
The Warriors is a visual feast. Director Hill fills the frame with vibrant colors, bright lights, and nonstop motion. The uniforms of the various gangs are unique, funny, fearsome, and more than a bit theatrical. The exciting fight scenes are brilliantly choreographed, and instead of focusing on the violence, Hill concentrates on pure movement (most of the cast were actually dancers).
Original version:<br/><br/>DVD release: 2001, purple/blue cover<br/><br/>Picture quality: Okay, but with some of the artifacts expected in what was then a 22-year-old cut of film.<br/><br/>Sound: Original mono.<br/><br/>Cut: Original cutseen in theaters.<br/><br/>Extras: Nothing.<br/><br/>Availability: Now out of print, but still fairly easy to get hold of secondhand for very cheap.<br/><br/>Director's cut:<br/><br/>DVD release: 2005, red-orange cover<br/><br/>Picture quality: Greatly restored and cleaned up, worthy of DVD.<br/><br/>Sound: Remastered stereo surround, very well done.<br/><br/>Cut: Some new short comic-book-style transitions (1-3 seconds) inserted between some scenes, and a new short intro comparing the adventure to the classic Greek story it was based upon.<br/><br/>Extras: Some really good documentaries and interviews, pure gold to Warriors fans.<br/><br/>Availability: Common and in print, low-end DVD price, usually on shelves at major DVD stores.<br/><br/>Fans are very divided on the comic transitions, with some saying it actually ruins the movie while others aren't affected at all by them. But even people who totally hate the comic stuff tend to really like the rest of the goodies on the new disc.<br/><br/>Basically, if you're a fan of the film, you probably won't regret getting both versions. They're fairly cheapDVDs go, and since it is out of print that original edition won't be so easy to get hold of forever. Additionally, the Director's Cut was released on Blu-ray and the now-defunct HD-DVD format. Both of these HD releases contain the same featuresthe DVD. A remake of this film was announced in 2005. Set to be produced by MTV films with Tony Scott directing, it would share the original film's basic idea of a gang stranded outside its turf. However, it would be set on the West Coast instead of New York and take place in modern times rather than a dystopian setting. It wasn't done with the approval or participation of Walter Hill or anyone else involved with the original.<br/><br/>Since that announcement, a few minor rumors surfaced (mainly the suggestion that this would feature real gang membersextras, a persistent rumor that has not been confirmed by any official source), but no solid information has been announced by MTV or Tony Scott since the original announcement.<br/><br/>Time has passed since that announcement, and Tony Scott himself died in 2012. Nobody's heard anything about this remake in quite a while. Apart from speculation, and the pushing forward of the release date on the remake's IMDb entry a couple of times (it's been quietly changed from 2006, to 2007, to 2008, all the way to 2014deadlines passed with no movie; you can find the entry at http://imdb.com/title/tt0423512/.) There hasn't been a scrap of information about it since the original announcement and Tony Scott's one interview at MTV in 2005. All that info is on http://warriorsmovie.co.uk (click "New movie") - a page on the main "Warriors" fan site, which hasn't changed or updated for a couple of years now.)<br/><br/>At this point, it appears that the project is at least on hold and, at most, dead. 1. Cleon (Dorsey Wright): the warlord, leader and founder of the gang. He wears a leopard-patterned cloth around his head and a Native American-style necklace.<br/><br/>2. Swan (Michael Beck): the war chief, second-in-command of the gang, and the central focus of the film. He's the tall white guy with long hair who becomes Mercy's boyfriend.<br/><br/>3. Ajax (James Remar): the guy who wears fingerless leather gloves and a black tank-top.<br/><br/>4. Vermin (Terry Michos): the fellow who always looks worried. White with scraggily hair, he often voices the down side of things.<br/><br/>5. Cochise (David Harris): the African American wearing Native American-style jewelry, leather pants, and boots. He sports an afro with a red bandanna tied around it.<br/><br/>6. Fox (Thomas G. Waites): the gang's scout, a white guy with curly brown hair he is the one who sees Cyrus shot.<br/><br/>7. Rembrandt (Marcelino Sánchez): the gang's graffiti artist, he wears the standard Warrior's vest along with a messenger bag and an afro.<br/><br/>8. Snow (Brian Tyler): a stoic African American Warrior with an afro.<br/><br/>9. Cowboy (Tom McKitterick): the warrior, who wears a Stetson cowboy hat and a shirt underneath his vest.<br/><br/>Cleon is murdered by the Gramercy Riffs. Ajax is arrested after attempting to sexually assault an undercover police officer. Fox is thrown in front of a train by a police officer. Mercy is the young woman whom they meet when the encounter the orphans, and she becomes and integral part of the rest of the movie. The other six (along with Mercy) Warriors make it back to Coney Island.
