Summary: Coming out to play again
Review: Comes across as rather sweet, now. Could be a PG, really. Self parodic at the time, there are a few extra laughs now. Rather plodding by today's standards but has a certain magic that's hard to quantify.
In the big beach stand off, how did Rembrandt and the cowboy avoid being shot when Swan stepped out of the path of that bullet fired by Luther? They're not rabbit droppings, you know.

Summary: The Warriors, past and present is still the best.
Review: The movie Warriors is simply the best movie there is. It depicts the "Warriors" from Coney Island, in which they have to bop their way back to the CI. Along the way they must confront the different gangs that are after them because they are wrongly accused of killing Cyrus.Of course they make it because they're the best and the rest is ours.It is truly a great but simple movie which is worth watching over and over. My only disappointment with the DVD version is that it leaves out the daytime gathering of the Warriors at the very beginning.

Review: "... and I do mean the Warriors."
'The Warriors' is 'Magic... A Whole lotta Magic.' Not to mention a timeless masterpiece, that only gets better with age. Few words can do such a movie credit... so you better just watch it...

Summary: Low-budget masterpiece
Review: What is it about some films? The plot may be simplistic, the acting cardboard, and the cinematography amateurish, but still you love it! The Warriors is just such a flick. This saga of a Coney Island street gang trying to make it home through countless layers of hostile enemies combines action and high tension with a powerful underlying theme. Well worth watching over and over.

Summary: A must have.
Review: A great DVD that everyone should own. I've watched it 20,000 times. The quotes I use everyday. "Stay against the crowd" and "We aint got one." The DVD is astonishingly crisp and clear and the music that's one when they're being chased through the park is sweet. The only complaint, however, is the daytime scene before the journey to the Bronx. I was seriously hoping it was on the DVD. Please join me in writing a letter to the studio to produce the full,uncut version in the future. And the cover on the VHS would look nice on the DVD. Anyways, still a must buy and a great watch.

Summary: "Warriors, come out and Play-e-ah!"
Review: I saw this movie the first day it was released in movie theaters. Warriors may have been pulled from theaters in the mid-west and back east, but out here in california - at least at cerritos mall, the movie played for a good long time. I saw this movie repeatedly week after week loving every moment of it. As a kid of 11 years old it seduced me into its world of loyalty to your friends (gang), and the mean streets of new york. Of course I've been to new york city several times and have never seen anyone running around in baseball uniforms with their faces painted like clowns on pcp. You gotta love the Riffs though - all the different gangs are like a cirque de solei gone bad. It's easy to see how this movie has "ganged" its cult status. As Shaq daddy said when the Lakers won the world championship in 2000... CAN YOU DIG IT? I can definitely dig it.

Summary: Cult Classic to the max
Review: I remember seeing this film when I was a lot younger--maybe two or three years after it was released--and thinking it was simply a great, simplistic story with good action scenes. Growing up, the film hasn't dated as much as it might have, simply because of it's pace, editing, and charisma. All of the actors do a great job, even if some of the dialogue is of its day--but James Remar as 'Ajax' and Michael Beck's 'Swan' are particular stand-outs as the typical street hood with a chip on his shoulder, and the disillusioned, somewhat idealistic gang leader, respectively. The romance in the film is realistic, but of secondary importance, and the bathroom fight scene in the last third of the movie is very impressive. The score of the film sounds exactly like the year it was released, but suits the mood to a 'T.'

Summary: Can you dig it?
Review: Ah yes, 1979's The Warriors. Without a doubt, Walter Hill's finest hour. The root of the story is based on a historical book written by Xenophon, a Greek mercenary soldier who had described his adventures in ancient Persia 2400 years ago. But instead of Persia, we get New York in 1979. By today's standards, The Warriors is hardly the violent, ultra stylish film it was back in the day. But the fact is, up until The Warriors, no film had revolved around urban warfare to such an intense degree. The result was not only outbreaks of gang violence at various screenings, but a permanent spot in the cult classic hall of fame. Indeed, the best way to appreciate the Warriors is to keep it in the context of the time in which it was made. In many ways, the film is pure Walter Hill: tight and timelessly effective. It's also important to remember that The Warriors was never meant to be a metaphor for the increasingly violent nature of our society. This is a fast paced action flick - nothing more. To that end, Hill effectively framed the story like a living comic strip, finely balancing the film with equal parts flashy ghetto fantasy and gritty urban reality, piecing the simple plot all together with pulp fiction editing. In one scene, we get bat weilding gang members made up to look like Gene Simmons wannabes with fight choreography that looks like a Bob Fosse production (much of the cast were dancers.) Despite the fact that this disk is a bare bones submittal from Paramount with virtually no extras and limited release fanfare, the widescreen anamorphic transfer is suprisingly solid. This also marks the first time The Warriors can be seen in home video using the widescreen format drawn from the original film's 1.85:1 aspect ratio. My biggest complaint about the DVD is the terrible cover art. What happened to the gangs standing around in one big, evil mural?

Summary: Come Out to Play-ay...
Review: I remember when Walter Hills gang epic, written by Sol Yurik (!), came out in the theatres it caused a big mess o' controversy over the violence and gang scenes.
Even then I wondered why.
As a film, it doesn't really bring much to the table: Sirus, who seems to be gangdoms' messiah, holds a rally in the Bronx to unite the citys gangs. While he mentions the potential power they would possess working in unison he doesn't get into any detail (will they have a dental plan?)
Of course, he gets killed from the get-go. The rest of the film plays like a poor mans 'Fugitive', following the Warriors back to Coney Island through dark and dangerous territioies filled with rival gangs like...the Orphans. Heh.
In the end we find out who's really behind Sirus's death, and they get thier just rewards. It's a predictable whodunit. Most of the gang depictions are a joke; I'd put my money on the Crazy Homicides or Savage Nomads against any of these groups. I half expected them to break out in dance at any moment. [...]I'd bet the Bowery Boys could wipe them out. The promo posters that were in the subways were cool, though.
In a nutshell, it's slightly entertaining but no 'Colors' or even 'Streets of Fire'.
