Anyone else remember that movie? Great flick

[okieinpain]

1. good movie.

[TK421]

3. I just dug this thing out of a box of VHS...watched it last night

[ewagner]

2. Yes, great movie

people thought I was crazy because I liked it.

[TK421]

4. Whats not to like? Gang members dressed like baseball players

with every other nutty gang in the city going after five guys...jeez. Oh, don't forget that James Remar was in it-very underrated actor,by the way.

[vi5]

5. I just watched that a few weeks ago. I was laughing out loud..

..the acting.....the whole thing was just so bad it was good. I mean was there ever actually a time when gangs used mime make up and/or dressed in baseball uniforms?

I remember being frightened by the posters and ads for that movie when it came out and I was a kid. But then watching it years late like I did a few weeks ago I was just laughing at how I could have every viewed it as scary.

[TK421]

8. They were called the "Baseball Furies", yeah...the mime thing never did

strike me as threatening, either. But don't get me wrong, mimes CAN creep me out sometimes. Speaking of mimes, if you were going to shoot a mime would you use a silencer? Just wondering....

[ghostsofgiants]

6. Probably the best B-movie of all time

[underpants]

7. Never heard of it

What's it about? When was it made?

[TK421]

10. It came out in 1979, I think. It's about a gang called the Warriors who

are accused of killing the grandmaster of street gangs at a gang rally. Basically, they're being chased the entire movie by really corny looking gang members. There is even a gang that dressed in suspenders and striped shirts that travel on rollerskates

[AllegroRondo]

11. I loved the gang that dressed as mimes

they were in the very beginning of the film, when all the gangs are converging on the park meeting.

[Old_Fart]

14. I loved the baseball gang

The hockey gang was interesting.

[AllegroRondo]

9. Every time I watch "Sex and the City"

the character of Richard (one of Samantha's boyfriends in later seasons) was a Warrior.

[Old_Fart]

12. The Lizzies

"Oh Warriors" The Warriors is on my top ten list of favorite movies.

[TK421]

16. That was the female gang-yeah. Real nasty,too

[ronzo]

13. They're doing a Freakin' REMAKE!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0423512/

[TK421]

17. Watch them cast Ben Affleck or someone irritating

[TK421]

18. And I just may get flamed for that one, I'm afeared..

[Old_Fart]

20. What's wrong with the original

:shrug:

[TK421]

21. Theres nothing wrong, just some of the acting was sub-par

And I think they'll try to update some stuff

[Old_Fart]

33. That's what made it a cult film

[Left Is Write]

29. They're remaking The Warriors? That is so, so wrong.

19. Thanks!

:D

[edbermac]

22. Got it on DVD...can you dig it?

[TK421]

23. I dig it, brutha

[HullBoss]

24. Loved it.

It ranks right up there with Eddie and the Cruisers - my other favorite B movie. Blue_I_A

[Serial Mom]

25. background noise ..clinking of cola bottles

[TK421]

26. My neighbor downstairs looks JUST like that guy, too

I was thinking of doing the thing with the bottles, but somehow I don't think he would appreciate that

[Serial Mom]

30. He had a distinctive voice, especially with that line!

Hubby and I say that line to each other a lot and if others are around they just look at us funny.

What made you think of it today?

[Hobarticus]

27. "Caaaaaan you DIIIIG it?!?"

Oh yeah, classic.

[Old_Fart]

34. "Yeah, man I can dig-it"

I hope that I can buy the Warriors on DVD because I tossed my VCR out a long time ago and now I want to watch it.

[Hobarticus]

36. You know, there's a Warriors video game in the works...

Now you knock around some Baseball Furies in the safety and privacy of your own home.

I'm thinking there's gotta be a special edition DVD bouncing around somewhere. If not, well, it's a damn shame.

[Enraged_Ape]

28. My favorite was the gang on roller skates

As if anyone with even half a brain could think they could actually fight on skates.

[HeeBGBz]

31. I remember the gangs looked all weird an shit

It was an odd flick.

[Aristus]

32. I first saw it in 1986. I thought it was a remarkable film.

I had heard all the reports of gang violence and vandalization of movie theaters where it was screened, and built up in my mind this ultra-violent, brain-dead genre flick. It turned out to be an astonishingly good movie. It was surreal, disorienting and absolutely captivating. Mary (or was it Martha?) Thigpen as the spidery, omniscient DJ was a revelation. The acting of the principles was not so great, but in later years when I would see Michael Beck, David Patrick Kelly and James Remar in button-down adult roles, I'd think "Hey! They grew up and made it out of the jungle!"

Also worth a look for a young, VERY hot Mercedes Ruehl.

The film presages the L.A. "Colors" gangs, and offers a compelling glimpse, accurate or not, of the New York City gang underworld.

Man, just talking abut it makes me want to see it again.

[nytemare]

35. Am I the only one who thought that movie sucked?

I liked many movies of the era, but I just thought that movie absolutely blew limbaugh ass. It was corny as hell.

Maybe I am the only one.

:shrug:

[Blue_In_AK]

37. The corniness was part of its charm. n/t

[TK421]

38. Thats an awful lot of ass there, fella....
