*FIRST TIME WATCHING THE WARRIORS (1979)* - Movie Reaction | One Of The Best 70's Movie?

[@douglascampbell9809]

This movie is pure 70's. It just can't exist outside the time period. In the 80's gang fights escalated to gun battles and drive by shootings in the US.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Yeah, there’s definitely a certain nostalgia that I have for this movie. It was a dangerous time in New York, but there’s a certain naïveté about it when viewed now. Things got so much crazier in the late 80’s/early 90’s.

[@williamjones6031]

1. When this came out many of the larger cities didn't run it. They were afraid it would lead to gang violence. 2, Marcelino Sánchez/Rembrandt was gay and died of AIDS in 1986. 3. My favorite character is Luther. He's f-ing nuts. 4. "Warriors, come out to play" was ad lib. The director told David Patrick Kelly to come up with something menacing and he looked back to when he was a kid and a creepy old neighbor used to torment the kids by telling them to come out to play. 5. End it with Joe Walsh.

[@marinesnip]

Don't forget the character Fox was killed off at the subway because he was a pain in the butt with the director and was killed off on purpose. I heard he wanted to become the love interest of the prostitute and have a bigger role in the movie and the director got tired of him complaining and change the script and wrote him off.

[@williamjones6031]

@@marinesnip He also played Windows in "The Thing".

[@the9-2-5outlawdoestech9]

15:41 in the documentary, James Remar explains how he got the role of Ajax, this scene where he's fighting with Mercedes Ruehl while chained up to the park bench, he auditioned in front of the producer and the director using the table as if he was going to throw it. James Remar along with the late Sonny Landham, who played the subway cop who says Hey before Swan throws the baseball bat causing him to trip, the late Marcelino Sanchez, who played Rembrandt the artist, and David Patrick Kelly, who plays Luther, the guy who frames the Warriors, ended up working with Walter Hill, the director again in the buddy cop action film comedy, 48 HRS starring Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy making his theatrical debut. Strangely enough, David Patrick Kelly would keep the same character named Luther in the film 48 hours.

[@Imnotyou2814]

David Patrick Kelly was also the leader of the bad guys in the film The Crow starring Brandon Lee. *The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering.* -Bruce Lee

[@MrEnergee1987]

This is comfortably the best pre-80s movie

[@the9-2-5outlawdoestech9]

16:43 the blonde actress with the crimped, curled hair was actress and stuntwoman, Victoria Vanderkloot. She appeared in the Titanic movie from 1997. Her one little scene is when she is the woman dangling from the railing who falls to her death when the big moment happens in the film.

[@karimhicks8376]

The Warriors, Halloween, & JAWS, Some 4 years earlier, had shaped my teens.

[@the9-2-5outlawdoestech9]

15:57 the actress Deborah Van Valkenburgh, who played Mercy, had injured her arm, and it was dressed in a cast, so having the denim jacket was improvised and the script was Rewritten so the jacket concealed her arm in a cast. Deborah would appear on an American sitcom one year later that start the late American comic actor, Ted Knight, who played Judge Smails in Caddyshack, as well as Ted Baxter on the Mary Tyler Moore Show, he left his voice as the announcer on the DC Comics Super Friends, who says, meanwhile back at the Hall of Justice.... that sitcom was called, "Too Close For Comfort"!

[@GrisouIII]

I rented The Warriors so many times on Beta! Great choice, guys!

[@groothewanderer3710]

The bad guy,.."Luther" who says the famous line...Warriors...come out to play-ay!!!! Is the same actor(David Patrick Kelly) in the John Wick movie,..he's the old guy with the "cleaning crew" that cleans up his place from all of the guys he killed at this place. He also played a character name "Luther" in the Eddie Murphy movie called "48 Hours", which also stars one of the Warrior actors(James Remar) who played "Ajax".

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

48 Hours is another awesome movie, directed by Walter Hill, who directed this film as well.

[@karimhicks8376]

In 1979, I was 14 years old, when I saw THE WARRIORS. SWAN & AJAX, were my favorite WARRIORS. Played by Micheal Beck as SWAN, & JAMES REMAAR, as AJAX.

[@benjiarehart2878]

Great reaction. I use to watch this at the midnight movie theater when it first came out in 1979. It was always sold out, and the crowd was loud, and routy. They played the Rock Horror picture show in the theater beside it. Talk about a diverse crowd.

[@the9-2-5outlawdoestech9]

I loved playing the original video game from Rockstar Games, especially in the brawl mode where you use weapons, even using a baseball where you can smash it in the opponent's face in slow-mo.

[@the9-2-5outlawdoestech9]

In the 1965 novel, the warriors were an all black gang. With the film adaptation had gotten the rights, they decided to make the Warriors a multiracial gang because unlike the original story, they felt that no one would see the film if the gang was all one ethnicity particularly black.

[@rabooey]

I'm guessing Jack is about 25-30 years younger than I am but this movie was part of my childhood. Cheers mate.

Hah. The Gramercy Riffs were my favorite. All business.

[@bikingchupei2447]

20:59 i was like where do i remember this guy from, then i figured out he was the short guy in Commando, then i looked up imdb and was shocked that he was the waste disposal guy in the John Wick series, lol.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

8:49 First time I saw this, I recognized this girl. "That's Trini! From "3-2-1 Contact!" I know her!" (that was a Public Broadcasting Service show, for children a bit older than the "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood" and "Sesame Street" crowd. 3-2-1 Contact had a mini-show in it, about kid sleuths solving mysteries, called "The Bloodhound Gang."

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

That happened to me when I 1st saw Morgan Freeman outside of The Electric Company🤣

[@Madbandit77]

Marcelino Sánchez died of AIDS in 1986. He was only 28. :(

[@the9-2-5outlawdoestech9]

Another true story during the making of the Warriors, when the all male actors who portrayed the Turnbull AC's went to a diner for lunch or for dinner on break, the public thought they were the real deal, so many of them were so scared that they ended up leaving the restaurant.

[@the9-2-5outlawdoestech9]

Speaking of Cyrus, the late actor who portrayed him in the film, Roger Hilll tried to sue Rockstar Games and take-two Interactive for $250,000 for using his voice in the video game, but Rockstar Games had a third-party license which entitled them to have full use of the film for the Warriors video game.

[@SkyeFyre2131]

I want a remake of this, solely to see the updated fights. Imagine the team behind John Wick designed the fight scenes.

[@theman4884]

You should do a first time watching of Sorcerer (1977). You will love it. It is as epic as The Warriors.

[@b20f08]

Relevant and very explosive when it first aired for me. Still one of my favourite gang-themed Hollywood movies.

[@the9-2-5outlawdoestech9]

21:13 David Patrick Kelly who played Luther in The Warriors mentioned he had improvised the iconic scene and dialogue when he had a deranged neighbor, in real life call out his name when he was in his apartment complex. He grabbed three empty beer bottles off the seashore, and, in the ultimate director's cut edition of The Warriors DVD and Blu-ray, you can actually hear director Walter Hill cueing David to say the famous line, "Warriors.... come out to play!".

[@josephamoraz7990]

Finally someone gets it right and watches the original version and not the directors cut. I used to rent this movie from Hollywood video as a kid. Has always been one of my favorite movies. The soundtrack and vibe is unique!

[@adalizrodriguez7035]

Damn! I love this movie. The guy with the scarf was so excited. Adorable lol

[@viclagina347]

I was a freshman in high school when thus came out and we were the warriors so it became our school movie so to speak...

[@marcbloom7462]

It sounds like a game show? Well, the radio DJ is Lynne Thigpen who played The Chief in the game show Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego. The guy who played Luther also played Sully in the Schwarzenegger movie Commando.

[@vedantwagadre574]

i thought the reaction video of bahubali 2 has arrived 😐

[@_willandjack]

next video...coming soon

[@lorik2005]

y’know. it didn’t dawn on me until now how morally questionable the Warriors are as a gang. Like as a kid I presumed they were all good, because they were the main characters. But then you have characters like Ajax, who are literally arrested for attempted sexual assault, and it dawns on you that the gang isn’t a monolith. There are definitely things that haven’t aged well in this film, but it definitely holds up as a good and fun narrative.

[@Palendrome]

What do you mean "Haven't aged well"? The first half of the film glorifies the gang life, the second half shows you the truth. It's aged incredibly well.

[@Thunda1986]

Ajax pays for hus actions, and stuff like that still happens so it still holds up,

[@shaitanlavey]

Something I didn't see in the comments was reference to David Patrick Kelley (Luther) also appearing as a villain in the 1984 film Dreamscape. Tommy Ray has always been one of my favorite bad guys.

[@climaxeditor9308]

We need part 2 of Bahubali the conclusion please

[@the9-2-5outlawdoestech9]

James Remar who played Ajax would also be famous for playing Dexter's adoptive father and mentor on Showtime's Dexter.

[@adrianpeart]

He played Ganz in 48Hrs & was Hicks in Aliens but was fired at start of filming & replaced by Micheal Biehn.

[@slowerthinker]

New York before the clean up may not have been a fun place to live, but it made for great movies. Have you two seen "Escape from New York" ?

18:55 It's odd the hysteria caused by switchblades. In 1979, in pick a Buck 110 over a Frank Beltrame switchblade.

[@ericv7720]

The one flaw with this movie is that none of the characters have New York accents, and guaranteed if you were working class from NYC during the 70s, you would have sounded like you were from Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, etc. and certain neighborhoods thereof.

When this film got released in 1979, there were reports of people getting stabbed and shot, so the advertising for the film, including the movie posters had to be pulled ultimately some theaters discontinuing the film because of the negative controversy where some people who emulated from the film way too much ended up killing people in spite of it being a cult classic.

The basic premise of the film is that a New York street gang has to fight their way across the city to their home turf. Ergo, the underlying theme of the film is gang violence, One has to wonder if The Offspring took Luther’s taunting invitation to fight as inspiration for their song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5uynGuaoJKkl7c

It’s fucking great. It has a camera problem when you fight and maneuver but you can work with it. It’s VERY VERY authentic to the movie feel and style. Creative, satisfying, and varies challenges enough to keep you stimulated. It has a few very frustrating sections to conquer and knowing all the game’s tricks is key. I think you can get a digital copy for ps3 or ps4. It’s worth it. The fighting moves are fun as hell.
