Summary: Wanderers rule!
Review: I loved this movie when I first watched in the early eighties. Gang members and fratmen can identify with most characters and groups portrayed in the film (Wanderers' leader Ritchie, strongman Perry, warmonger Joey, pathetically wimpy and psychologically disturbed Turkey, etc.). In a nutshell, an inter-racial conflict resolved through non-violent means (a football game!) with a climatic "rumble" uniting Italian, colored and Asian gangs. Fights scenes could have used more work, though (scenes in "The Warriors" and "The Outsiders" appeared better choreographed), but all-in-all a great movie with a memorable and nostalgic soundtrack (Four Seasons, Ben E. King, Dion, etc) to boot.

Summary: Great
Review: I really liked this film. Yes, it's a coming-of age story that was ignored by most critics at the time of its release, probably blinded by the "American Graffiti" fog. I think The Wanderers is better and more enjoyable than "American Graffiti", which was fun and engaging, but slight. The Wanderers provides much more insights into the time and era of the 1960's. If Warner Bros. were smart, they would rerelease this in a letterboxed Special Edition on tape and DVD.

Summary: "walk like a man, while crying like a teen angel"
Review: i saw the wanderers at an old theatre in my hometown in 1979, 5 years after reading richard price's book version and i thought it was one of the best movies ide seen since'the lords of flatbush' 5 years earlier.
though not following the book version to closely,it still brought the book to vibrant life with all its stunning characters and violent yet heart felt situations.
'the wanderers' leader ritchie gennaro,best buddy joey capra,fellow wanderer buddy borsalino & hulking new wanderer perry lagaudia,played with crotch tugging zest by ken wahl,john friedrich,jim youngs and tony ganios respectively are excellent.
while there girlfriends,despie galasso & nina becker,played seductively by toni kalem and karen allen,are completely beautiful,while the tiny pee-wee,played with swaggering street smarts by linda manz,as the fordham baldies resident deb,is fantastic.
the gangs,'the wanderers','the fordham baldies','the wongs','the del bombers','the ducky boys',look great in their various gang regalia,from the wanderers gold satin jackets,to the fordham baldies obvious baldness,to the ducky boys sawed off runt look of grey and dirty clothes,they loook authentic as well as luridly dreamlike.
erland van lidthe dejaude,as terror the oversized leader of the fordham baldies is a standout and let us not forget alan rosenberg as the sicophant like turkey zukinni who ditched the wanderers for the fordham baldies ans screwed over his friends,is also amazing.
ken wahl shows a 50's teen idol appeal,while tony ganios does a fair stallonne rip-off as the ape with a heart of gold perry and toni kalem as despie the mob boss daughter puts in a stunning performence.
the opening sequence of the baldies chasing the wanderers through the back alleys of the south bronx,where there finally stomped royally and single handedly by the gigantic dimwitted robin hood like perry,is by far one of my favorites.
the soundtrack oozes cool and its a movie for anyone who recalls the good old days of tight chino slacks,greasey pompadores,girls wearing nylon hose w/t garters,push-up bras,black leather jackets,slick d.a's,do-wop,dion,big finned cars,bee-hive hair do's,cruizin' chicks,gang rumbles,turned up collars, they should definately enjoy this truelly wonderful movie.
enjoy fellow greasers,its a gassss!!!!

Summary: A CULT CLASSIC
Review: I stumbled across this film when I was about 13 years old. Since that day I have been a huge fan. This movie is at once touching and uproarious. It is filled with many memorable seens (game of strip poker, football game, etc.). This film manages to draw you in and never let go.

Summary: Biggest hidden gem of all time.
Review: I'm not sure if this film was a hidden gem in it's time but it sure as hell is now. Entertainment wise this is one of the best films I've ever seen. I was entertained throughout the whole film with not a moment of boredom. It was really refreshing to see a film like this after spending years of watching Noir and Neo-realist films. The thing that amazed me the most was this films ability to wrap a group of different genre's into one and blend them so graciously. I think the main death of this film was it's showing in PAN AND SCAN over the years. I think it was one of those rare cases of a brilliantly shot film that can only be appreciated in it's true theatrical format. PAN AND SCAN really took away from this film. This film really deserves a hell of a lot more attention and respect.
