@@kenelliott4872 James Remar was a beloved character in Dexter opposite Michael C Hall, who played Harry Morgan his deceased father who appeared almost like a ghost to Dexter(Michael C Hall) throughout the 8 year series as an advisor and councilor to his son teaching him the "code". Remar(Harry Morgan) appeared to Dexter right down to the last episode in 2013 where Dexter quit executing violent criminals as a vigilante seeking to pursue a relationship with his love interest Hannah Mackay and raising his son, Harrison. I really enjoyed watching Remars' character all those years. He also played I believe the god Raven in Mortal Combat Annihilation.

I couldn't believe it!!! I've watched The Warriors dozens of times growing up. Total cult classic. Fast forward to around 2008, I was working in a restaurant in Florida and a new guy started. Over the first few weeks of everyone getting to know him, he would tell fantastical stories of things he had done, one more unbelievable than the other. The first was that he used to have a big 30ft yacht. Then he said he had won the lottery twice. Then he said he had acted in a soap opera when younger. I wasn't buying any of it and was rolling my eyes with each new story. Then he asked if I had ever seen the movie The Warriors and that he had been an extra in it. That was it. I called BS. Well about a month later, he brings in a picture of him at the helm of the 30 footer, wife right next to him. He did actually win the lottery twice. One was tax free in the Bahamas and that's how he bought the boat. He did act in a season of one of the big soaps when he was younger, back in the 70's. I then had to go out and rent The Warriors on VHS at the local basement mom and pop movie rental and fast forwarded to the big speech in the beginning about fighting over the little piece of turf...and stop.... there he was in the shirt and necklace, right where he said he was. I couldn't believe it. We became the best of friends for the next year and a half. He sadly passed away due to chronic health concerns. I miss him more than I can say. Long live the true Warriors!

@@kennysilvers-z4x Well as I mentioned in another thread I don't consider The Orphans for two reasons. First, they weren't invited to the pow wow as they were so small. Second, The Furies had baseball bats, and couldn't beat The Warriors. The quote from Ajax said it all "I'm gonna shove that bat up your ass, and turn you into a popsicle." Third, we never got to see an Orphans vs. Warriors fight as Swan threw a Molotov, and used the fire as a distraction for the group to escape.

It was a very different movie back then and is still a favorite of mine. I've turned a lot of people on to this movie that are my age or younger that never heard of it. Joe Walsh in the soundtrack ( who can't think of The Warriors,) when you hear his tune from the end. The opening scene with that creeping music and the wonder wheel at night. Of course there's a lot good scenes and dialogue. But back in the 70s and 80s movie's didn't sugar coat the big cities, they were rough,dirty and dangerous. Cheers fellow fans

Over the years, Mercy went from one of my least favorite to my 100% favorite. And the actress playing her was absolutely brilliant! Mercy actually had great character arc starting off as someone quite treacherous and sleezy to someone tough, loyal, and worthy of trust. And from the shot of "I can't go in there, that's the Men's Room!" and the epic fight scene after which she holds her own, to the train ride with the prom kids, to her making Swan crack a smile at their train stop, to her walking as an equal to the beach, to the shots of her and Swan in the end on the beach - she stole the movie's 3rd act to me!

A very well done Vid, I enjoyed it. Of course, I must add that there are 3 version of the film the I know of, the 1979 release, the 2005 Directors cut, and the some place 'the director did not like' version. I, of course, loved the last one, it had the back-round of the 9 Warriors. It let us know who and why they were, 'heavy muscle', 'War Chief,' 'the Book', the 'Tagger', and the 'other' soldiers. One other social comment was the timing of the release, 1973 was the start of 'busing' and the shift of population from city to 'anywhere else'. 1973 was just the starting date, it took a while for the entire nation to feel the effects.

Somewhere out on that horizon. Far beyond the neon sky... I couldn't believe that Joe Walsh was doing the final song. It just made this flick even more awesome... I like the original theater release better than the redux. The comic effect did nothing for the story or the flow of the film. It was particularly distracting during the intro of the Baseball Furies... Favorite scene when Cowboy says "I can't make it!" and Ajax says "Good! I'm sick of running from these f*ggots!"...
