The Warrriors (1979)

The Warriors is the tale of a New York Gang called...well..."The Warriors" - based in Coney Island.

As the story goes, one day, some guy actually decides to do his math.
The result of his calculations are that there are more gang members in NYC than there are cops.
A lot more.
So, if they were to unite, they could run the city.
So he calls for a meeting. a big meeting with all the main gangs from NYC.
And, like any other leader of the US, he gets shot, by a guy from a gang called the Rogues
The guy blames the Warriors.

Now, the Warriors are far away from home, and they have a bunch of gangs after them.

Everything is set for the most epic gang movie of all time.

As the movie starts, in the subway, you immediately know you're in for a beautiful movie.
the style is amazing.
all gangs are dressed in completely ridiculous fashion.
I wasn't there in the 70's, but I have little doubt that plenty of the gangs you cross in the movie would have trouble getting any real cred.

For Example:
The Baseball Furies (my favorite, and I guess everyone's)




The Lizzies (mega bitches on acid)




The Hi-Hats (mimes,...wooo scary)




Satan's Mothers (actually...if I ever had a gang, that would be it's name)




The Panzers



The Punks (eeemmmm, they ride on roller skates...jeez)



The Rogues (the bad guys)



The Savage Huns (no disrespect to asians but...HAHAHAHAHA, have you seen these hats)



However, the whole thing, put together, brings one nice, I mean, THE AWESOMEST action movie, with a 70's slang/feel/in dirty 70's NYC.

One of my favorite movies ever
