And from the shot of "I can't go in there, that's the Men's Room!" and the epic fight scene after which she holds her own, to the train ride with the prom kids, to her making Swan crack a smile at their train stop, to her walking as an equal to the beach, to the shots of her and Swan in the end on the beach - she stole the movie's 3rd act to me!

I was already in a biker gang when this came out, so, naturally I went to see it, even after the president of our club ruined the ending for me by reciting the "You warriors are good - real good" ... "We're the best" bit to me before I went. One thing the video failed to mention though is the music. I bought the soundtrack album (still have it), a few days after watching the movie, and listened to Barry De Vorzon's themes endlessly at the time...usually stoned. A rather neat poster came with it too.

[@jaycoppola4324]

"The Best" not "We're the best". Seen it countless times. Own the DVD.

[@johnnyintrieri]

I didn't get a movie poster in my album. Crap! I still have album at 69 years old. Was 24 when movie came out.

[@johnnyintrieri]

Barry DeVorson was the lead singer in Barry & The Tamberlanes. 1 hit wonders. I LOVE the song. I Wonder What She's Doin'. Check it out on KZbin.

[@chrissmurray255]

@@johnnyintrieri No poster! Man, you were ripperdy-doo-dah'd. I had mine for yonks'n'tonks before I decided that there was too much sellotape holding it together for it to look good on the wall anymore. I think I replaced it with that poster of the tennis chick scratching her arse. _Bonus!_

Thanks for this awesome nostalgia trip. You actually surprised me with a lot of trivia I had not heard before. This was one of my favorite films growing up.

[@CassandraElkin]

All of them, and every minute of it. LOVE this movie!

[@oveidasinclair982]

Way before my time, but low and behold my dad had the movie on VHS, so I have watched it a number of times. Swan was my favorite, but you are right about the taunt, that is memorable, I even ask my dad about it and he agreed and he hadn't seen the movie since 1990 something, he was able to ring it right off just like in the movie.

[@spankynater4242]

It makes zero difference that it was before your time.

[@Crazy-Reels]

great video, love this film and always will ❤

[@brandonr8269]

Ajax in every scene: "Maybe we'll meet some strange wool"; "Not if they're a bunch of wimps", etc etc

[@reapercreeper3466]

that dude was the best in that movie. lol, to this day when my brother asks me what i'm doing, i tell him i'm going out to find me some wool. i'm 52yrs old, i use that line at least once a week. and chicks don't even have wool anymore, that's the thing. am i right? aww, and my wife, when she hears me say that pisses her off to no end. i laugh my ass off. "good luck finding "wool" at your age she says. don't tempt me dear. give me that hall pass, just one time. anyway, great comment.

Me and a couple friends snuck into the theater to see this movie, yeah I’m old, but at the time it was the best movie I’d ever watched! My favorite gang was the baseball guys. 😎

[@se461]

I saw the movie when it came out. Haven't got tired of watching it.

Ajax! I loved him in Band of the Hand and numerous 80's movies. Dexter's Dad as well

Swan is the man, the best scene was the baseball furies fight.

The Wariors and The Wanderers were our favourite movies at high school in the early '80's. We knew so many lines

Favorite moment: Mercy" I can't go in there that's a men's room. Vermin peeking his head out " "Are you kidding?"

I had the poster 3:36 on my wall, with the quote.

[@keitherickson8404]

I find myself watching this film whenever It's on. it sucks you in.. my favorite character was the guy who ended up chained to the bench. personally I thought it was entrapment. he was great in Beverly Hills Cop too. his name was James Remar I think.. he was the beating heart of the warriors.

[@jaycoppola4324]

Handcuffed.

Warriors, come out to play! This many people have seen this classic countless times 👇🏽

[@kennethbrown1555]

Wow...New York,alone,is an iconic place in American history in so many countless ways! It's like when The Warriors member Cochise was asked what he knew about Cyrus...and he replied,"magic...a whole lotta magic!"

[@starioskal]

They wouldn't let me in to see it, I was with my older brother and they told him I was to young, I was 13 1/2 years old hahaha. He snuck me in at another theater hahaha. It was a very different movie back then and is still a favorite of mine. I've turned a lot of people on to this movie that are my age or younger that never heard of it. Joe Walsh in the soundtrack ( who can't think of The Warriors,) when you hear his tune from the end. The opening scene with that creeping music and the wonder wheel at night. Of course there's a lot good scenes and dialogue. But back in the 70s and 80s movie's didn't sugar coat the big cities, they were rough,dirty and dangerous. Cheers fellow fans

great video, well presented, it's one of my favorite movies. the big big problem i have with the directors cut is how he cut out the end of the movie with the music and the group walking along the beach. that was one of my favorite parts of the movie and now due the director's bright idea it's gone :( give me a DVD of the original movie please !!!!!
