the warriors: whats your thoughts on the movie?

Question

personally its been one of my favorites since i was young

the movie was made in 1979 therefore it was not a 80's movie

Answer 1

I love this classic 70 movie. Too bad more stars didn't come out of it. The cast was originially supposed to black but the producers did not agree.
Lots of trivia on the aspects of this movie on IMDB.com

Answer 2

...ah, yes!! "The Warriors"!!

...it was one of the first 'R' rated movies I went to see, when I was able to go without that wretched 'parental supervision"; I, too, remember the controversy, regarding theatres being dubious about playing the film, for fear of visiting gang members getting too roused up by the film. However, thinking back, when comparing the film to something a little more up-to-date, like the more realistic "Colors" , from 1988, "The Warriors" seems to come off much more like a comic book action/adventure/drama.

In fact, director Walter Hill had originally intended to impose a much more medieval-spirited comic book approach to the look and premise of "The Warriors", even going so far as to transit from scene to scene, via comic-book-style panels.

Paramount originally released the VHS tape, and subsequently the DVD, using the original (and much more exploitive) theatrical print of the film; just last year, Paramount, in working with director Walter Hill, released a special edition director's cut of the film, re-imposing Walter's direct comic book approach to the film (panel transitions, and the lot).

The differences between the two films, make for slightly different cinematic tones and flow.

...a remake of the film is reportedly in the works, to be directed by Tony Scott, with the locale setting switched over, from New York to Los Angeles.

Answer 3

i just like the guy who plays the villain. he was also in dreamscape with dennis quaid. another 80's must see. Somehow the sillyness of the gangs makes it better.

Answer 4

..howcome there hasn't been a sequel?
