Part 3: Punks Leader/Ducky Boy Konrad Sheehan - The Warriors - Behind the Scenes

Part 3 of Konrad Sheehan's Real Life Stories of the Wanderers changes it up this episode. Right before filming the Wanderers, Konrad had a role as the roller-skating Punks Leader in the Warriors movie - the OTHER great New York City gang movie!
Konrad Sheehan portrayed the Ducky Boy leader in the Wanderers who hit Perry with the car antenna. He also portrayed the roller skating leader of the Punks gang in the Warriors movie.. Konrad was also a stuntman in many scenes of the Wanderers, Warriors and most movies filmed in NYC between 1976 and 1985.
Continuing this series by James Hannon, author of Lost Boys of the Bronx: The Oral History of the Ducky Boys Gang, we go back to the videotapes of the interviews done for the book - when it was still going to be a documentary. Hear stories from real Ducky Boy and Fordham Baldies gang members and even some of their victims, as well as other cast from the Wanderers and experts on the Bronx and its colorful history!
Part 1 covered How Konrad got cast in the Wanderers and Part 2 was the behind-the-scenes for the Wanderers movie and Part 4 will cover Konrad's other acting and stunt roles in Raging Bull, Brubaker, and others.

Hey James, another fantastic video. It was interesting hearing Konrad say that the Warriors was darker than the Wanderer's, when I first saw the Wanderer's the Ducky Boy's scene's were particularly menacing for me but it also had humour which was great and yes the Warriors had a menacing feel throughout so I agree with that. Keep them coming, look forward to more. 🙏👍

Thanks so much Angus! I agree - even though the Wanderers had some dark moments, it was balanced out by goofy teenage shenanigans… The Warriors we’re pretty serious from start to finish. And as always I really do appreciate your comments

I was you for Halloween in 1994. I wore overalls, (almost) identical shirt, and roller skates...Plus, had tape deck hooked to side w/ Warriors soundtrack cassette playing out loud as I skated in street. (I ended up going to party, taking off skates, getting drunk, and losing my costume knife.. Great times being 18yr old!!!)

That bathroom fight is one of the best fights ever!

I am a little confused though. Konrad did not play the Ducky boy leader though right? Who was the ducky boy that was leaning on the football goal and giving the little wave to the one wanderer ? Joey I think . who was that ? and at the end or near end of the fight he ran up and started tearing up their banner. that is not Konrad is it ??

[@JamesHannonAuthor]

@kystars There were three ducky boy leaders listed... Konrad Sheehan was the one who stopped the Wanderers car in Ducky territory and got thrown over it... Mark Lesley was the one leaning on the football goal and chomped on the holy Eucharist in the church ... Alan Braunstein was the one who left the church to carve up Turkey. Alan is presumed to be the top leader as during the football game fight, he was the one to give the retreat signal. Konrad and Marc we’re probably his lieutenants Hope that helps
