The Wanderers (1979) - ''Leave the kid alone!'' 

very sad

He had a small role as one of the bad guys in Die Hard 2.

I bought from amazon instead of ebay great print but smaller then one i wanted ..Join The wanderers on fb . Have you seen the bluray edition its sweet as its got eveything bought from amazon germany for like 15 pound .

Same, but all I had was my grandfather's sheep coat with cut off sleeves and a toothpick 😂😂

Are you bent?

Yeah I watched this a few times as a kid and tried starting gangs after it…..keep in mind I was only ~10 years old

Quality film

The wanderers is the best of these three

I've never actually watched the wanderers... will have to give it a watch

Another forgotten gang film was Lords Of Flatbush that starred Sylvester Stallone and Henry Winkler before his role as Fonzie on Happy Days.

You forgot Rumble Fish.

AngryRedSquirrel YouFreakingForgotAbout oh hell yea fuking sweet times lol luv them all though to b honest I always been truthful it's hilarious lmfao

NoFuksGiven thanks for the link

DIABLO CHORIZERO no worries bruv

Baldies where a real gang during that Era. Their turf stretch from Fordham Road to 161 Street

The Ducky Boys were Irish,

Warriors was better in my opinion but ya both entertaining

don't forget "the lords of flatbush", another great one

Great movies

Superb movies compared to todays offerings,Barbie whatever,when men were men

❤❤😊😊yeah I've got The Wanderers The warriors and Lord's of Flatbush All great movies and show cased extremely talented actors before they went on to bigger and mainstream acting and became major stars in their on right ❤❤😊😊 love Anthony Fed ex lol

Critics know, I think it’s the general audience that forgot

facts

WORD!

This and lord of Flatbush are both great

It is but i like that not a lot of people know about it.

its not underrated ...

It was given a limited theatrical release in 1979. Theaters were afraid to book it, due to violent incidents at theaters that were showing "The Warriors" and "Boulevard Nights" earlier that year.

I wouldn't really say underrated, this movie is considered a classic

@Ephreum Winslow It's not highly mentioned so it is

Well the blacks sure had it good back then

two great movies

WTF are you talking about?? This movie was TERRIBLE. The only thing it HIT was my last nerve. "An indie before indie" indie is short for independent movie. And believe me it was far from the first. 🙄

@@wadewilson8011 your opinion...tell me a movie you think is great?

@@samsmith4216 I'll tell you SEVERAL! The Shawshank Redemption No Country For Old Men The Green Mile JAWS Halloween Night of the Hunter Rear Window Cape Fear (both) Witness Pale Rider Goodfellas Scarface The Godfather The Outsiders The Warriors Mask Terminator 2 The Color Purple Bad Boys (1983. W/Sean Penn) Full Metal Jacket Silent Rage Logan I can go on and on... The Usual Suspects The Book of Eli Pulp Fiction Beverly Hills Cop Lawless There Will Be Blood Silence of the Lambs Tombstone The Ghost and the Darkness Shall I keep going???

@@wadewilson8011in other words the average persons list of popular movies.

@@samsmith4216 no, in other words a list of movies from someone who actually has good taste in film. PLEASE spare us YOUR list, because Twilight and Transylvania 6-5000 isn't going to cut it.

That's to funny. This is the only movie I have left that I kept from the old VHS days. This was a true gem for me. although I am a bit younger than you I grew up in mid 80's to late 90's White Plains Rd.

Saw it on cable in 1980 at 19 years and now 63 and still enjoy it on my DVD 📀!

Ken Wahl (real name Tony Calzaretta) never bought into the Hollywood hype and forgot were he came from. Sadly, after his back injury his acting career pretty much ended but i heard him mention that he saved up his acting money so happy it all worked out (we used to talk on twitter lol).

Ken Wahl, such a great actor.. I hope he does one more major film, even in a small role.. I can relate to the guy.. Injured my back too..

😪😢

Well that's because it was filmed in 1978 / 1979 and I totally agree with you it's like going back to the Bronx in the early 60s! A total replica of that era

The film is set in 1963, that’s why it has that old time feel. They did it well.

you see a few newer cars but otherwise its spot on for scenery

I remember back in the '60s and early '70s, if you wanted to look like a tough idiot you put a match in your mouth.

Great perspective

When I was 10 and saw this I thought Pee-Wee was a boy too. So I was kind of freaked out at the make out scene!

There were a few gay undertones in the movie. The Wanderers guy (I don't remember his name) who joined the Baldies is killed later on in the movie when he propositions one of the Ducky Boys.

Plus the bridge/twine scene. That was Turkey who the Ducky Boys killed, scary scene.

That short one was a girl??

Jay Doe Erland was magnificent in the famous singing scene from stir crazy. What a beautiful voice :)

L6915 You might be sadder for commenting.

L6915 It's bad ass dude.

L6915 Cmon man. DOn't you have something better to do with your time then respond to me? Go get girlfriend or something, go out for a walk.

Agreed, it's a real iconic scene. You can't cater for taste, it's a cult-classic, so not for everybody. Long as you enjoy it that's all that matters.

Gareth Thomas It's a guys film like you say which depicts the time it came from, a real honest account, entirely honest in its nature. My grandad sat me down has a child to watch this. he was a teddyboy and my old man was a mod, my uncle was a punk. Big characters. The majority that don't like the film belong to the snowflake era. One girl i work with did a French accent and got told off by some young liberal for being racist! do me favour! I'm a traveller myself and used to get stick for it but you didn't get all bitter about it, you exchanged banter or you had scrap. simple. all races were the same, you would give each other needle but there was always a deep respect beneath it all. which this film demonstrated. Yeah the thought police with there terms have turned this era into one belonging to wimps. The worst thing is being brought up in many mixed race areas, there is no problem. only problem is caused by the posh left casuals who out from time to time from the rural retreats to hold up cards outside parliament

but he beats his own son , cuz he's an egotistical assholle

Til he hits his son anyway.

He was preparing his whole life for that opportunity lol

It was very sad actually. He was the father of the guy that just helped this lot. He’s so consumed by his ego and violence that he beats his own son in that end seen…

@@husq2100 He was the father of the little guy who got put up against the wall. The big kid lived upstairs from him.

He was also veritable Dutch nobility (what we call 'a jonkheer'). A far cry from say Audrey Hepburn, who was the daughter of a Dutch baroness. :P

I loved him as Dynamo in The Running Man ! :O

Gross burger lol

He was from dutch descendant. A family member of him was a mayor from some city here in the Netherlands.

Jose Davila where they films this at ?

Jose Davila I saw this movie at the RKO Fordham as a kid.The ironic thing is theres a scene where Terror devoured a slice of pizza....IT WAS THE PIZZA PLACE RIGHT OUTSIDE THE RKO FORDHAM....true story.

jeffrey garita , off of Crugar ave. and Pelham Parkway@2:54

good theory

The Wong over the Baldies any day of the week !!!

Makes me wonder would the baldies not have left Turkey if it weren't the sight of perry again?

nope, never even heard of it.

I remember when it was played in theaters in 1979. I remember it being advertised in newspapers in the movie section. It didn’t play a long while in the theaters. But it got popular sort of when it was on HBO around 1980/81 ish. I was in 8th grade and everyone was talking about it

Saw this in the early 90's when it played on A&E in Canada, absolutely loved this movie and everyone I know loved it. We used to quote the lines, "Leave the kid alone" and "Nobody fools with the baldies" The final fight with the Ducky boys was the best gang fight ever, close second is the one from The Outsiders and the brawl with the Italians and the bikers in the bar in The Bronx tale, 2 other classic movies.

I know right

I think she was 18 or 19 during the filming of this movie.

17 :)@@yewtubethug3081

she was 20

Tommy Orr Jr No, she was 17 when filming started.

What's its name? I heared this tune way back in my childhood,still echoes through my head

If you like Pipeline, give this a listen. Not the original version, but the best version in my opinion ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x6KRRc_UjvA.html

ray loya Don’t f**k with The Wongs! Lol

CGarcia7 yeah lol the head honcho was named Tommy Wong

@@analogkid4957 thought it was Teddy?

Except that Wong is a Chinese name, and Jiu Jitsu and Judo are Japanese arts ... but I don't suppose Italian-American youth were concerned with such distinctions in 1963, generally speaking.

Those bowling scammers who claimed they were just amateurs

What do I know, I'm just a dumb guinea....for all I know those guys could've been pros.....

You can always mess yourself in the toilet !

just make a mess in your room and then ask yourself who to mess with

because they can't help not getting themselves into trouble, the book is better; in the book Perry's not as tough, two years younger and afraid of Terror who in the book is not the leader but only the assistant leader.

It gave you chills and nightmares especially when you find out the Ducky Boys were real, look them up!

Ronnie B were the Ducky boys gay?

I agree ....I loved this Film when I was young.

It sure is!

Yep

yeah

Guy Noir and Tony moneros little friend with the platform shoes , plus the guy from Lord's of Flatbush!😎😎😎😎

She died on my birthday I feel terrible

The Wanderers is better. The Warriors starts to drag a bit and isn't as relatable to people who haven't directly lived street life. A classic for sure, but The Wanderers is much deeper with it's story between Nina and Ritche and his world vs hers and the Kenedey scene and his reconciliation with Despie, and the coming of age aspect with your friends and friends going their seperate ways, and ultimately Ritchie accepting his heritage after feeling bad about when he knew he could never enter Nina's world when standing outside the hipster club of futrue hippies.

Turnbull AC's from the Warriors

She died this year

+lindsey lefrois And got him DEAD

lindsey lefrois Turkey had issues....looking for love in all the wrong places

lindsey lefrois Im late but real shit fake people like will always been around
