Cult Films : The Warriors 1979 crime thriller

The Warriors 1979 crime thriller

I was looking at this cult section of the forum and noticed that "The Warriors" have been missing since times.

It is among my favorite cult films. I saw it in the year 2015 and became a fan of its script and characters. So let's discuss and share memories related to the film. Can you dig it ;)

This is one of my favorites. But were the Warriors bad guys? They were a gang. I assume they weren't content to stand around looking tough. They must have at least committed petty crimes. And at the start of the movie they were about to join a criminal uprising to take over New York City.

Disney is CIA for kidz!

Re: The Warriors 1979 crime thriller

Yes, they were bad guys. They would have committed small crimes only and were looking forward to expand by taking part in that gathering.

Just the best. And it's futuristic! When I was a kid, I thought it was pretty realistic LOL.

Re: The Warriors 1979 crime thriller

Great movie.
James Remar in a memorable role.

Re: The Warriors 1979 crime thriller

Could not figure out where I knew him from. Dexter!

Re: The Warriors 1979 crime thriller

For a long time they were talking about remaking this film. Setting it in .

Re: The Warriors 1979 crime thriller

I tried watching this movie once, but I might try again.

Re: The Warriors 1979 crime thriller

I own the novel and have read it. It's very different to the movie.

Just because I'm not on THEIR side, doesn't mean I'm on YOURS.

Re: The Warriors 1979 crime thriller

Fun movie. And Uncle Jerry plays the villain with the beer bottles. WARRIORS, come out and play yay

Re: The Warriors 1979 crime thriller

It is nothing but a joke with all these jokes of gangs.
Mimes?
Baseball fans?
The Warriors themselves?
That one of blacks who respond with, "Yeah, right!" who all wear shades and in the dark.
That DJ who somehow knows everything?

There is just no way to take this joke of a movie seriously.

Re: The Warriors 1979 crime thriller

Dude, it wasn’t supposed to be real. It’s considered surrealism. Get a grip

Re: The Warriors 1979 crime thriller

It is just one of those movies that takes itself way too seriously that it becomes ridiculous and silly to laugh at.

Re: The Warriors 1979 crime thriller

I like The Warriors, but the most ridiculous part is the ending. It wasn't exciting enough and needed to end with a bit of a rumble on the beach.

It was something that wasn't represented before, a stylized fable that was both contemporary and heightened with a controversial milieu as its backdrop. In context of its era, it is a very original film.

The director's cut enhances it as a graphic novel take on things.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: The Warriors 1979 crime thriller

I saw a screening before the pandemic and it was the most obnoxious audience ever shouting out lines and stuff. The Warriors is a masterpiece. Be sure to check the period doc 80 blocks from Tiffanies, they won't let me link images
