Summary: Dawn of the Warriors
Review: A classic 1979 film is finally on DVD. But as usual, Paramount pictures decides to ruin a DVD with no features except the trailers. That really makes me mad, I almost gave this 4 stars but the movie still covers it. This film was based on the novel by Sol Yurick. There is really not much story to this film. There is just dozens and dozens of memorable quotes like "Warriors, come out and play-yaa". This film just shows the massive destruction of gangs. How gangs react, and the rules of being a gang member. How each gang has their own territory. This film has been known by it massive destruction of chaos, proving anarchy did once exist. By its brutal battles and cinematography. For a film with not much of a plot, only the fact that this shows the life of a gang member, this is a great film. Performances are really great too. A must see film if you love action.

Summary: When We See The Ocean We Figure We're Home
Review: "The Warriors" starring Michael Beck is a street gang version of a Navy shore leave gone horribly wrong. The Warriors are a nine-member Coney Island street gang that take the train to the Bronx under a flag of truce. They are attending a New York Citywide gang powwow -- their first trip out of Coney Island. Cyrus, the largest NYC gang's leader, is assassinated at the powwow and the assassins blame the Warriors. The Warriors must fight their way back to Coney Island chased by the New York City Police and every other New York City street gang. "The Warriors" is a testosterone-filled cult film that concentrates on the gang members' return odyssey. The Warriors are unarmed and outnumbered, and everybody wants to play -- fists, chains, clubs, knives and guns. The Warriors' caution is tempered by the exhilaration of new places -- exhilaration that brings additional trouble. Citywide street gang unity is an interesting and significant film theme ("An American Mogadishu"?). This 1979 film features street gang coordination over a gang-run FM broadcast radio station. Speculating how today's street gangs use Internet-accessible text-enabled cellular telephones and Internet chat rooms is interesting. IMO "The Warriors" is a heroic epic film. And IMO "The Warriors" is less violent than traditional Western or war films, "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" or other common 21st Century television fare.

Summary: whos wants to play...
Review: ...This movie is one I remember watching when I was a little boy and now watching it as a much older boy. I liked it just the same. Brings back memories of the old days .. well back in the 80s were the old days for me.The dvd could have had more extras, but its an old school movie. Plus the gangs wear cool get ups, make up and stuff....

Summary: Fantastic Flick but DVD is sorely lacking!
Review: How can the studio not honor this retro cult classic with a fully-packed special 25th anniversary edition?! And where's the all important documentary on the release of the film in '79, when teen crowds across the US went wild and attacked police, destroyed theatres, etc... Only ten years old at the time of its release, what I remember most about the Warriors is seeing the nightly news reporting that the movie should be banned, due to the violence it was causing out in the streets! A truly strong film at the time and a strong piece for a DVD time capsule. What's really ironic is that in today's world, compared with the flix out there now, The Warrior's would be released as a bad after-school special - very tame compared with present standards. Too funny and a great classic! GENTLEMEN, GIVE US THE ANNIVERSARY EDITION!!

Review: who are the warriors? well every gang wants to know. the warriors are accused of killing Cyrus, one of the powerful gang lords. they have to make it back to Coney Island in time, hopping on train to train and dodging gangs left and right. the suspense and action never let go and you feel for the warriors when one of them falls. the best scene is when they fight the baseball gang in the park. dont those guys ever quit and theres a lot of other cool scenes involving fighting other gangs. one of the best films of 1979

Summary: Fun, Comic-Book Style Movie
Review: "The Warriors" isn't really as much a street/urban/trash of the streets drama as some of its critics and preceeded reputation have put it. It is, however, a good watch. The plot basically is a survive-the-night story: the Warriors, far from their homes in Coney Island, are framed for the murder of a powerful gang lord and are hunted by every gang and cop in the city. If you're expecting the Bloods and the Crypts to come out in their colorful attire and start shooting up the scene, guess again. The gangs in "The Warriors" consist of clowns with baseball bats, 30 year old men in toddler outfits, and raging packs of mimes. And I didn't make any of that up. However, I always took that cartoony aspect of the film as some thing of a spoof for real life gangs, inadvertingly making fun of groups like the Bloods and the Crypts without saying any names. As a survive-the-night-story, it comes out good, and definately has some exciting action and some characters or dialogue you may never forget (whether you want to or not). I own a copy of this film, although having read some of the past reviews I wish I had waited for another DVD with deleted scenes...however I still enjoy the film as it is, and it is definately just a film to watch and have fun. I would also like to thank David Patrick Kelly for this line, which is edged in my brain for all eternity: "Warriors...come out to PLAAAAAY~AAAAAAAAY!!"

Summary: Warriors are tryng to go home
Review: "The Warriors" is one of the better punk gang movies to come out. Upon reflection gang action and violence never got that bad, but it was a cautionary tale for the late 70s. The Warriors are a gang who attended a meeting with other gangs in an attempt to consolidate forces and rule New York. The rally sponser is shot and the Warriors are blamed. The rest of the movie is them trying to get back home to Coney Island. There is little charactor development and the acting is wooden, but the fights are well choerographed (although to fake on reflection) and the messege is load and clear. The people do not own the city, the gangs do. It is a little dated, but still pretty gritty and very cool. The tension is tight with no comic relief. Walter Hill's best until "48 HRS".

Summary: Where's The Deleted Scenes
Review: The Warriors is a really awesome movie. The only bad part is the DVD version doesn't have the deleted scenes that were on Joe Bob's show a few years ago. Put those scenes in the movie and I'll give it a 5.

Summary: Something's Missing
Review: Based on seeing "The Warriors" on Joe Bob Briggs' "Monster Vision", I know for a fact that there is extra/deleted scenes lurking around that need to be restored, or put on as extras. Its disappointing that such an incredible film receives no extras on the DVD edition. This should be looked into.
