Shortly after the film's release, there was a flurry of press reporting incidents of teenage violence, including three murders, apparently related to the film's "incendiary" subject matter. Further media pressure prompted Paramount to remove advertisements from all print sources, though subway posters and film trailers were unaffected. When advertisements resumed after six days, the "inflammatory" images of the original ads were gone, the new ads consisting of the film's showtimes and reviews from reputable critics. (Pauline Kael of The New Yorker and Janet Maslin of the New York Times). Due to safety concerns, theater owners were relieved of their contractual obligations if they did not want to show the film and Paramount offered to pay costs for additional security and damages due to vandalism. What some say happened was that a gang would go to the movie, drawn in by the subject of it, see their "rivals" and fight. Yet, most theaters continued to show the movie and enjoyed packed houses. A Boston theater manager said it was their most popular movie since My Fair Lady was released 15 years earlier. [

No, but very plausible as the movie centered on gangs banding together to kill the cops and take over the city.

didn't they want to ban it because the guy's voice who kept saying "warriors come out and play" was causing people to attack and burn down the movie theater?

Yes, in the early 1980s for its violent content.

I know it caused a lot of rioting with gangs. It was a good movie.
