Customer Reviews

Don't buy The Director's cut, buy the original DVD!
As others have said, the comic strip introductions to several scenes really messed the film up. As soon as I saw this cut, I rushed out the next day and changed it for the original DVD of the film. Buy the "Paramount Originals" UK DVD with theatrical poster if you can get it.

Can You Dig It?
A really smooth gang thriller from 1979.

This movie is a success on its merits of being a really good story, with great characters, and funky music. No need for over the top pyrotechnics, explosions, and outlandish stunts.

The Warriors are a gang who find themselves in deep trouble. After attending a peace rally that goes wrong, they must traverse other gangs turf while also being hunted. Can they make it to safety? And can they stay united?

Really really great stuff.

Please don't remake this film Hollywood
If you are into late 70's style and can therefore stand some fairly shocking hair crimes this is a brilliantly paced story which will entertain without modern effects and fill an evening. Fight scenes, plot, dialogue are all lean and perfect but the star is the backdrop of rundown NY subways and stations, rain-drenched warehouses and low-rent neighbourhoods at night.

It is a bit comic book at times but as another reviewer says it wasnt supposed to be an accurate portrayal of gang life.

I love this as much as I love the original 'Assualt on Precinct 13'. Its just got that indefinable gritty yet artistic quality. The opening scenes of Coney Island neon in the dark are great.

Inevitably some eejit in Hollywood will try to remake this on the back of the playstation game release. It will be unfrogiveable if they don't have Depth Charge's 'Number 9' in the soundtrack.
