WWAW The Warriors?

Gay as Fuck. But still a cult classic and one of my favorite movies. Walter Hill went on to direct 48 Hours and there were a lot of similar elements here. The book was written by an NYC social worker who adapted "Anabasis" by the ancient Greek historian Xenophon and set it in his work world.

I've probably watched The Warrior more times than any film. Saw it at a drive-in with my parents in the late 70s. Rented it a ridiculous amount of times in the 80s. Bought the VHS in the 90s. Own several DVD versions of it today.
I like The Warriors, a lot.

Watched it for the first time maybe five years ago. Its one of those movies I can easily rewatch and when I see it on.

Solid movie. Solid game.

The O&A Pests were in that movie.

Also great movie for NY scene misdirection: The initial gang powwow in Van Courtland Park the Bronx was clearly filmed at Riverside Park in Manhattan. The "96th" St train station was a rebadged Hoyt Schermerhorn (96th st is tiny compared to the station they filmed in), and when they emerged from the 96th st station, they were clearly standing on 72nd st.

Fucking classic.

Waiting for the woke remake where they're a transgender gang

A fun little movie, a snapshot of a vastly different time. Nowadays it'd be nogs spraying everyone with bullets and it'd be maybe six minutes long, but back in the 1970s it was fairly radical.

The Lizzies will all be about 6’3” and end up killing the Warriors.

That Hoyt-Schermerhorn train is (apparently) the train that NYC pimps out for film shoots. When you're commuting around NYC, you can even see the closed-down platform at the HS stop, that they dust off and repurpose for the production crew when it's time to shoot something. My boy was a BG for the Joker film; they used that platform and an old MTA train, for the chase scene between Phoenix and the detectives.

Drove through SF during the "Bay to Breakers" marathon many years ago. It's like a live-action version of this, but none of them are there to fight. Group of guys in tutus on one corner, matching gimps on another, and I swear I saw a pack of Baseball Fairies.

edit to add: Movie and game rule, fucking fantastic soundtracks.

It's one of the few cases where the director's cut is worse than the theatrical release. In the "Ultimate Director's Cut" DVD, Walter Hill put in these gay looking comic book interstitials that take away what little grittiness a movie with roving gangs of baseball fags can have:

Nice "millenniums", stupid.

I knew which gang it would be before I clicked.

Can the Dark Mode Army get some sort of indication when there's a link in the text, @admin?

Any particular reason that is an actual thing?

Because filming in the Bronx in 1978 was a surefire way to lose your equipment, maybe your life.
