The Ritfs Leader: "You Warriors are good. Real good." Swan: "The Best."

[@davidcann2405]

Swan: "Why hockey sticks?"

[@godzillaprime]

[@-BlazeK-]

One of the most underrated games made by GTA's Rockstar was the warriors. They got a bunch of the original cast to return as voice actors. While it ends with the movie plot, what you get to see is how the warriors are formed and how their "heavy" reputation and turf is established. You also get more context about the other gangs and their leaders.

[@danielleeskelton]

That was a fun game that added to the story.

[@salvadorlopezsalas8766]

It is a great game

[@Kaylakaze]

That moment when Swan stops Mercy from fixing her hair in front of the rich kids is one of my favorite moments as well. It says so much with no dialogue.

Almost half a century since I first saw this in the theater, and I still LOVE the chase scene with the Baseball Furies. As I recall, the actors playing the Furies were recruited from a dance school which explains the marvelous physicality of their performance.

Trivia Factoid: Michael Beck, who played the main lead Swan, was also one of the leads in the movie Xanadu with Olivia Newton John and Gene Kelly. While The Warriors did only fair at the box office, it quickly became a cult classic which it has remained to this day. Xanadu, on the other hand, did better box office, but is looked at by a lot of people as kind of a joke in the decades since its release. Beck himself once said that “The Warriors opened a lot of doors for me, which Xanadu then closed.”

Fun Trivia: The actor who played Fox is Thomas Waites, who got into an argument with the director, Walter Hill, and was fired. He is uncredited in the film. The script was rewritten and Fox is killed by a subway. A crew member played Fox for that scene. Waites and Hill later reconciled and Hill regrets firing him. Waites played Windows in "The Thing."

[@justinamerican8200]

I was looking for this comment. His death in the movie is pretty surprising because it seems clear that him seeing the shooting was going to matter later. Not if you argue with the director, I guess.

[@SquishedFaeries]

He was also Broud in "Clan of the Cave Bear" - which was the first subtitled movie I ever watched as a kid - along with Ajax's actor, James Remar, who played Creb.

[@nocturneJOJO]

He was also supposed to be the romantic interest of Mercy but the two actors didn't have chemistry so they changed with Swan.

[@Anubisblack]

I dug him in that movie Wrist Cutters playing an undercover Angel.

[@bradkirchhoff5703]

“Hey Warriors, COME OUT TO PLAY. HEY WARRIORS, COME OUT TO PLAYYY”. Most iconic line in movie history imo.

[@chrisreulbach]

The three bottles was an improv by the actor.

[@rumbledumpthumpershaker6735]

One night when they were filming a real gang show up. "Richard" took off running after them and chased them all off by himself. The Lizzies is code for lesbians. September 13, 2015 five of the surviving Warriors minus Richard and Mercy took one last subway ride home to Coney Island in Warriors vests to what amounted to a Warriors Con . They were of course recognized on the train 36 years later. There is video of it on KZbin. Rembrandt died in 1986.

[@LiveFromThePorcelainPalace]

This was a staple of my youth. Me and my 8 year old friends all saw it in the theater (it was a way different time) and as soon as it came out on video, one of us would rent it and we'd watch it at least once a week! CAN YOU DIG IT???

[@GaryTulacz]

That brings back a lot of memories. The movie was set starting out in the Bronx, not far from where I was living at the time it was released. And I knew many of those subway stations, in the Bronx and Manhattan on the No. 4, D and C subway lines. But it was scary when the movie first opened as you could always tell when it let out from the theater about a block away as you could here young guys calling out “Warriors! Come out to Playy-ayyy.” In my neighborhood, we occasionally saw the big Bronx gangs, like the Savage Skulls or Black Spades, but in my neighborhood, local Irish and Hispanic gangs started facing off over turf. It was a scary time when I moved out in 1979.

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

I was born in NYC in 1979. I lived most of my life near Coney Island. I can smell this movie when they are on the trains.

[@JH-lo9ut]

I'm so lucky I got a chance to see this in a theatre on 35mm a couple of years back. The cinematography of it really comes into play on a big screen, with all those gritty 70's NY details. The Furies' chase scene when they emerge from behind the slope just gave me chills. It's so damn good.

[@brianwilson2789]

The 1965 novel The Warriors was based on Xenophon’s Anabasis. When Xenophon’s leader Cyrus is killed, he has to lead the 10,000 Greeks from modern day Iran to Greece. The novel opens with a quote from Anabasis.

The actor who plays the bad guy is a trained Shakespearean actor. Saw him play Puck once, brilliant.

[@michaelcollins8972]

Just as a fun bit of trivia - at the end, part of the reason for Swan to say, "When we see the ocean, figure we're home" is because it mirrors one of the most important moments in the book that Sol Yurick based his book and, by extension, the film on - the *Anabasis* of Xenophon. When the Greeks finally reached the Black Sea after retreating from the center of Mesopotamia, Xenophon reports that they cried out, "Thalatta! Thalatta!" (lit. The sea! The sea!). It's a symbolic connection to the moment those in the original tale reached safety.

[@Cadinho93]

Little Trivia: Shooting the boardwalk scene, the director told the actor David Patrick Kelly to do something to get their attention. He found the bottles under the boardwalk and then mimicked a bully he'd had in high school. Total improv GOLD! Also, The Warriors is one of the most fun movies ever made. Can you dig it?!

The actress playing Mercy was injured while filming the movie. She actually broke her wrist and ended up in a cast. The jacket was added in order to hide her cast.

I always like to imagine this as a precursor to the world of Escape From New York. We already see that the gangs outnumber the cops. There's even a character similar to The Duke.

Skates may look cool, but would suck in a fight. 5. "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. 6. NEVER take off your colors. If you do it's the same as not having them. 7. End it with Joe Walsh.🤩

[@TheRussian13]

David Patrick Kelly plays Luther (the main bad guy) in this movie. He's in many more movies but my favorite is that he plays T-Bird in The Crow, he's the one that gets incinerated in his car. Also David got the inspiration for "Warriors, come out and pla-ay!" from a school bully of his saying the same thing with his name. The bully would clink bottles together and repeat the phrase until David would start crying, which is why when David shouts the line in this movie he starts crying while screaming at the Warriors.

[@ericc8705]

I'm glad y'all screened the original version of this film ... there is a director's re-cut which adds some additional (un-necessary) footage and the director used some really weird "screen-wipes" between scenes where it freezes the action and cartoon/comic-books the action on screen and then transitions. To me, it interrupts the flow of the story and makes the film feel less "real" (this original cut is actually harder to find nowadays as most DVD/BluRay versions are only the Director's Cut - much like Lucas' original Star Wars -films)

George/Simone thanks so much for reacting to this movie. I have loved this movie since it came out. In fact a few years back I bought a used copy of Directors cut of the movie with some nice extras. And yes 'The Warriors' was based on a Greek tale about a group of Greek warriors that got caught behind enemy lines. Additionally I believe a lot of the extras were actually gang members. P.S. Its hysterical that you keep blocking out Merci's body.

The Smokey the Bear poster is about forest fires. He had a slogan at the time, “Only you can prevent forest fires.” (That’s what “If not you, who?” comes from.) At the time a lot of campers were littering the state and national parks, and some of the garbage (like glass bottles when the sun shone on them) was starting fires accidentally. It was a campaign to get campers to litter the parks less.

A bit of trivia, Vermin was supposed to be killed by the Lizzies, but he was such a rich character they rewrote the scene. And if you notice the actress playing Mercy broke her arm as Swan jerked her around, hence why she is suddenly wearing his jacket, and its an adlib when she say tells him where she got the jacket. ...SUCKAS....CAN YOU DIG ITTTTT!!

[@flibber123]

I think the gang is a lot bigger than that. They were told only a certain amount could go to the big meeting. I think the rest of the gang stayed home and did their standard gang activities. That's why no one was there to greet them. Not only that, but it's possible that the rest of the gang had heard that their gang was being hunted so they were staying out of sight. This movie shows just how important visual style is to a movie. If they had done this same movie except with all the gang members looking like typical gang members, this movie would have been long forgotten. Instead it sticks in my mind enough that I have made up an explanation of why there aren't more Warriors there at the end.

Every 80's and 90's beat 'em up (Final Fight, Double Dragon, Streets of Rage...) owns everything to The Warriors, from the gangs themselves to the stages (subway, park, pier...) to their structure (cross the city from point A to point B).

The guy who shot Cyrus is David Patrick Kelly - T Bird in The Crow amongst other great roles over the years.

" The Wanderers " is another Must See from the same era.

So Simone likes the Punks because they wear overalls, and George likes the Boppers cause of their purple hats and style. The baseball furries are based on two concepts (Glam rock style and samurai warrior fighting style) The actor who plays Ajax plays Raiden in Mortal Kombat Annihilation (replacing the original actor of the first film). The reason Cleon was killed off was because of conflict with a schedule where the actor was set to be in another film. The reason why Rembrandt didn't mingle with the Lizzie's (the script made him an observer) was because the actor was gay. During the shooting of the film, real life gangs worked as security for the staff and crew.

This was a favorite back on the midnight movie circuit when I was a kid. Many fond memories watching this along with other midnight fare such as Repoman, Pink Floyd: The Wall, Rocky Horror, Wizards, Heavy Metal, Mad Max and so, do many others. 70's and 80's were awesome.
