Here is The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day! Can you dig it? Caaannnn yooouuuu diiggg ittt?!?
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes pic!
Today’s picture isn’t a professional studio still. Hell, The Warriors ain’t exactly a profession studio kind of movie, so it feels right that we have a frozen moment from the making of that film that feels just like the movie itself.
Consider how this photo differs from some of the bigger studio pictures I’ve featured here. They’re using all natural light and there’s all of 6 people in this shot, including Michael Beck. Guerilla filmmaking. Unless, of course, the rest of the crew is hiding behind the photographer, but I’d like to imagine it was a small hodge-podge grouping of people making this film the cult classic it is today.
If you’re not familiar with The Warriors fix that immediately! Now, the only version available on Blu-Ray is Walter Hill’s “Ultimate Director’s Cut” which features some really crappy animated transitions. Here’s hoping the original theatrical cut is available on some future release, but it’s better to have most of this awesome movie in high def than to not have any of it, I guess.
A reader named Joe sent me this and a few others. I hate to tip my hand as I’ll probably be using a few more of these during the life of the column, but Joe found ‘em at a Warriors Fansite which has a ton of BTS pics from this flick.
Enjoy and click for a slightly bigger version!
If you have a pic you think should be included email me. I’m looking for the iconic, the rare or the just plain cool behind the scenes shots to feature here.
Tomorrow’s Behind the Scenes can only be attributable to human error.

for something cooler. something as cool as the warriors.
-
...come out and plaaaay!
-
might have to check this out finally.
-
Simple story, great acting, and amazing characters. Each gang is truly unique. Great soundtrack as well. One for the ages. Hope it is never "reimagined".
-
Though Nick Nolte and Powers Boothe come pretty close in EXTREME PREJUDICE. Good to see some love for Walter Hill round these parts.
-
Wasn't Tony Scott gonna do a remake of this at one point?
-
It's "The Warriors" right? What a unique little flick from: "Back in the day"....!
-
How about a coupla BTS shots of r.lee ermey with fincher...i hear they got along real well (snigger)
-
So very quotable. "Why don't you just tie a mattress to your back? You don't care where it is, do you?"
-
can you dig it
-
OHHHHHHHHH YEAH
-
great movie.
-
...that a lot of younger movie geeks simply haven't seen, and one day they will discover its incredible badass-ness. It's the perfect movie to watch for the first time with others. It's best watched with a group of guys. If you're in college and haven't seen this, go buy the DVD (the theatrical cut - the director's cut with animated transitions is unnecessary; there's only one added effect that is worth a damn). Watch it. Watch it soon.
-
Everyone of these pics are a waste of time. Old movies, that may be really good. But these Behind the scenes pics don't do anything but take up space.
-
Ya hear me, babies? Good. Re-e-al good. Adios.
-
If one person sees this film because of this lame article, then it was worth the space.
-
come out and play-ay
-
but they're just in one quick scene. *sigh*
-
never seen a more overrated cult film in my life. strictly for 2nd graders and special ed cases.
-
nothing more badass than that!
-
so there!
-
thought it was going to be from the monkees "Head."
-
...needs a bat shoved up his ass.

needs to go back to watching merchant/ivory films

loaf: sounds like the favored pastime of a typical warriors fan.
by RedHorseVector
-
it's a horrible movie. i can totally understand if its your favorite guilty pleasure or it brings back memories of your youth, or whatever the fuck... but it's not a good film. at all. it's nonsense.
-
that I've never seen this movie.
-
Huge Warriors fan. Actually thinking of going out as one the Furies for Halloween. Not sure if any bars will let me in with an actual baseball bat though...
-
i'd watch the remains of the day anytime, especially if my only other choice is the warriors.
-
It was in perpetual rotation on HBO Cinemax & Showtime circa 1979 - 1984 (?) Independent film making at it's very finest. Whatever happened to Walter Hill?! <p> Do you geeks know that the source novel for this film by Sol Yuric was based upon the writings of the Greek historian Xenophon? Specifically: "Anabasis"? <p> Hmm... I wonder, how is the Greek root-word "Xeno" (as in: Xenophobe) related to Xenophon's name? Got to look that up! <p> Quick! who can name all the gangs that The Warriors had to fight/face during their *long* journey back to Coney? No fair to Wiki!
-
It's the Anabasis, retold in a contemporary setting; a pretty simple few-vs-many story. What's nonsense about it?
-
Memories of a much simpler time. Looks like this shot is from right near the end of the screenplay?
-
Don't want to see? Why click?
-
You know they were incredible!
-
as The Slut (w/a heart of gold)
-
that would be every other bloated windbag on this retarded website. you fuckers shit all over kick-ass and scott pilgrim, two great, fun films that were gift-wrapped for our demographic. meanwhile, you're pining away for these rotten guilty pleasures from your childhood. that's why a cynical piece of garbage like the expendables reaches #1 at the box office: because you guys have your heads jammed square up your asses. call me whatever you want, but until someone explains why a bunch of faggots dancing around fighting people in baseball uniforms is a great movie, you take a big L.
-
It's a geek fantasy you retard! You a gamer? Hmm? How many video game "plots" have you seen that don't owe something to "Anabasis"? Or are you, as someone else accused: An Ivory Merchant snob? Never heard of "Anabasis" or Xenophon? Why am I not surprised? Get an education and watch a few Walter Hill films. <p> Dick.
-
you're flailing around wildly, bro. but there must be something to this flick since its clearly made several of you very emotional...

by RedHorseVector
it's just not a great movie, boyos.
-
down in the wayback machine<p> Been a coon's age since I've seen this. Wonder if I'd still enjoy it...<p. Saw it in the theatre way back when it came out. Thought it was bad ass<p> The bad ass bar has been raised since then
-
Don't be a fag! You know you loved The Warriors...Anyone who visits AICN's, and doesn't love The Warriors, have some serious BROKEBACK issues to deal with.
-
... are undereducated. I wouldn't watch "The Expendables" if you paid me. I'm somewhat entrigued by "Scott Pilgrim" but simply have insufficient free time at the moment. Do you always paint the opposition with such broad brush strokes? Your're just a trolling ass, that is compelled to spout hostile bullshit when someone praises a film that you didn't care for.
-
I knew that "The Warriors" was based on "Anabasis" when I was 18 years old. The US "education" system has failed utterly in the interim.
-
It’s a movie about a group of young people fighting a hostile world to get home. And ‘home’ isn’t that great either. It’s not just a movie about guys in silly uniforms fighting each other with baseball bats. I really like the scene in the train were the Warriors meet some middleclass kids, a real ‘Remains of the Day’ like moment.
-
Apart from your Behind The Scenes Pics feature, why the fuck does this site come to an absolute standstill newswise at weekends??
-
... that this movie is based on a ancient greek classic piece of literature?
-
Why would you comment on a film that you have no feeling for, other than to prove that you're a massive, massive twat? Stop trolling and comment on something you like. Warriors is a great film, and Walter Hill is a legend, can you diiiig iiiiiiiiiiiiit?!? If not, go and comment on something you like
-
This is the only feature on AICN that has consistently positive feedback in the talkbacks. If you truly think this column is a waste of time, then don't click on it. Everyone loves this feature, and it belongs on this site like few others. Filmgeeks are the reason that studios put special features on dvd's. We're supposed to have an appreciation for film history, and what happens behind the scenes. If you don't care, go fuck around on flixster.
-
Is either a snob, a troll, or a retard. Or all 3. You don't think its a legitimate cult classic? Fine. But calling it a terrible film.... Absolutely idiotic. Go jerk off to kick-ass, snobtrolltard.
-
And I hated The Expendables! So fuck you.
-
There are no "new stories". The Greeks told them all, 3000 years ago. I read "Anabasis" before "The Warriors" was released. It's called: A Basic "Grounding".
-
Respect for you reading Anabasis. It would blow my mind if i knew you had read it IN IT'S ORIGINAL ANCIENT GREEK!!
-
... i don't take that statment all too seriously, anyway. Yes, i understand what it means, i understand the idea, but i don't fret about it, i don't take it as an axiom.
-
It seems there's people who can't understand the concept that there are good movies made before the decade they were born. And it's not just some shit from the Gen-Ys born in the 1990s, this shit also happened to people from my generation born in the 70s, and also those born in the 80s. Their loss, really. Sucks to be them.
-
THE WARRIORS was respect and admired the day when it was released, not just by audiences but also many many, the majority of the critics. 300 was, at best, accepted as a guilty pleasure, as in, evne those who praised it admit it's a dumb nonsense movie. There's no way to compare THE WARRIORS to 300. The first is a proper movie, the second is a disturbing picture of the mind of a dumb hack that should be locked up in an asylum.
-
And I totally agree. Most of my peers think "black-and-white" is a genre, and call 70's flicks, "old movies". More monkey-pussy for us.
-
... Crap name BTW. <p> I defy you to identify a single basic story arc, that the Greeks, and/or the Hindu Indians didn't explore thousands of years before what's considered "modern civilization" came to pass. Heck, the Sumerians: ("Gilgamesh" anyone?), wrote 70% of it, in one form or another, 2600 or so years before the Greeks or the Indians. Ever heard of the "Upanishads"? <p> In the meantime, while you all rush off to Wikipedia, what about "The Tubes"? All you Emo, Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal, Speed Metal, Neu Metal, Tecno, Grunge, Punk afficiandos. KNEEL TO: THE TUBES! Never even heard of 'em? I suspected as much...

But unlike some, (like um, THE_CHOPPAH, for example?), I am not a liar. My Latin is "fair", my Greek is TERRIBLE. You?
-
Great band. I saw them live at the (Defunct) Reseda Country Club Bar back in 82. Fee Waybill was pretty outlandish back in the day, and they did pretty cool version of Prince's HEAD, also...Sides' who didn't love WHITE PUNKS ON DOPE?
-
One thing The Warriors does that msot Merchant/Ivory films don't is ENTERTAIN!!!! Sweet jesus they have made some of the dullest movies in history. " Hello! I'm english!" " Oh so am I, how convenient!" thats pretty much the average dialogue sequence. Not that ALL their movies are boring, but entertaining?.... not so much. Ya know, not all of us here only like geek movies. I've watched and enjoyed my fair share of snobby arthouse fare, that doesn't mean i can't appreciate fun, entertaining movies. Just because they aren't snobbish, doesn't mean they aren't good. It's all about intent. Was The Warriors made to win critical acclaim and teach us all a little bit more about ourselves and/or others? Nope. Was it made so as to enlighten us to the plight of a group of people, or the horrors of an evil Govt ? Nope. Was it made because they wanted a fun, kick-ass piece of genre awesomeness? I would say yes and that they succeeded.
-
The Turnbull AC's, The Orphans, The Baseball Furies, The Lizzies, The Punks, and the Rogues. Plus, the Grammercy Riffs, which they technically didn't fight.

There's another 'unknown' treasure: HEAD!

as the scene (in this shot) fades out..
-
Well fucking done BarryConvex! Um, "prizes" are a bit of a problem just now, what with the economy tanking and all... GOOD ON YE none-the-less...
-
Thanks for using my Henry Fonda pic the other day. Im assuming that tomorrow you will be using my Kubrick pic? Please use the McQueen one that I sent you. That one is a rarity. This column really needs some McQueen. I'll be sending you lots more as soon as I get back from Aruba (rubbing it in).....
-
What can I say? I used to be obsessed with it back in highschool.
-
As someone above mentioned it was on in heavy rotation on premium cable in the early 80s and I saw it a lot. I was probably 7 or 8 when I saw it. Haven't seen it in a loooong time though. Was always a crazy fun movie to watch... ahhh the 80s :p
-
was like The Warriors and Streets of Fire rolled into one. good times.
-
You are SO much cooler since you put down the STINO torch... Erm, you haven't put it down? Heh heh he... umm, never mind, gotta go...
-
I've been revisiting their catalog of late and, MAN, were they (are) GREAT. They're back on the road even as we speak. But I would submit that you are "the exception to the rule"...
-
They did that "She's a Beauty" song right? I remember the video being played all the time on MTV back whe they played videos. Had a carnival setting right?
-
because my sister was sooooo in love with it. But i have been able to put the pretty boy Warrior's glam looks aside and love this movie for its ultra 70's cheese factor. GREAT MOVIE! I said it.

The game is as deserved of praise as the original. They waited over 20 years and brought back the original cast to tell a perfectly coherent backstory leading up to the events of the film, and then following through all the way up to a few minutes AFTER the film... teehee. Rockstar is awesome, but the alternate reality the Warriors exist in is the real star.

Nobody actually likes this movie, they just pretend to for cred.
by SirGaryColeman
This is a terrible movie. There's nothing to it, not in a B-Movie/Cult way, not in a general way... it's just somewhat obscure, so people think they have to like it to prove their movie cred. There is no other acceptable explanation. Thank you.
-
as well as movies, too. Love that flick. Great characters, great atmosphere. Wonderful twist on an ancient story.<p> I had a blast playing the Rockstar game. It's brutal. A huper-violent fighting game with no guns and all the charcters from the film - and more! Great Coney Island and NYC settings. You could tell the Rockstar guys loved the movie as much as we did. They did an amazing job.
-
The movie is definitely in the "So bad, it's good" category. Kinda like "No Retreat, No Surrender." Just a really, really bad movie that I love to watch... a lot.
-
More like so badass its good. This is not an ironic like for me. I love this film, and I think its genuinely great. Walter hill is the man. See: the long riders.
-
Pathetic fucking nick BTW. But I can assure you that "The Warriors" had ALL KINDS OF CRED, when it was released, critical and geek alike. Box office? Barely a blip, but when has that ever been a legitimate yardstick for the quality of a film except among douches such as yourself? <p> To quote Louis Black (who just turned 64; for all you age discriminatory troglodyts): "All you 20 somethings? Do your fuckin' job! Look good, get lots of pussy, get drunk, have fun: AND SHUT THE FUCK UP. You don't have the sense, life experience, or self awareness to realize that your opinion about ANYTHING is utter horseshit... or that someone else already did it better than you".
-
... but that song, while popular is a rather poor representation of what The Tubes are really about. It came during their "record company pressure to make radio hits (which didn't last long) 'phase'. It's blatently misrepresentative of the crazy motherfucking asshole genoius of the majority of their body of work. Do a YouTube search and pay attention to "White Punks on Dope" "Mr. Hate" "Mondo Bondage" and their outrageous live performances. Fee Waybill is the greatest "front man" to ever take the stage, BAR NONE. Better than Jagger, Daltrey, Morrison, Tyler, Mercury, et al. I'm talking, Bowie, Iggy, Peter Gabriel territory....
-
Add Ian Anderson to that hollowed "greatest front man" list...
-
Walter Hiil was the man. "The Long Riders" is the best, an most historically "Jesse James" film ever made. Extremely daring in it's time: Accurate period costumes, accurate Missouri settings, accurate period music and the genius casting of real life brothers of actors that could actually act to play the 4 sets of brothers that figure into the historical tale. The "Great Minnesota Raid" sequence is in Sam Peckinpah territory...
-
..if you have netflix, it's free anyway. watching it for the first time in a long time tonight because of this article..

They shouted "carradines assemble!" or put their hands in for a "whooooooooa carradines" before every scene. I may not dream big, but I do dream awesome.
-
The Trailer was better than the movie. <P> It would make a great double feature with "Escape From New York". http://tiny.cc/i9ll2
-
Maybe a triple with "1990: the bronx warriors". Which, incidentally, is a good example of "so bad it's(sorta) good". Maybe as the final film of the triple, when you're too drunk and tired to require a film to "make sense" or "be watchable".
-
That shows pre-Giuliani New York is Bad Ass by default.
-
Were the Carradines great or what?! What about the Quaids? I really like how slimy Dennis is, and how he ultimately tells the law to FUCK OFF. Randy was pert near perfect IMO. Ironically, while Stacey gave his usual "consumate proffesional performance", I thought James as Jesse was the weakest performance in the show. Thoughts? I mean it worked 'but', and ; historically Jesse was a pretty unemotional cold blooded bastard, "the" leader and all that... I don't know. What do you think?

Goes for you too Barry and glodene. Where the heck do your handles come from BTW?

Deborah Van Valkenburgh[sp?] looks EXACTLY like....
by Nasty In The Pasty
...Vanessa Ferlito from Death Proof. It's actually kind of eerie.
-
Ok, I checked out "White Punks on Dope". It was ok. I had no idea they were so glam. It's a shame when a band you like gets noticed for what a real fan would consider their lesser works. I'm a big Rush fan and when I mention this and peole say "Oh right the Tom Sawyer guys.", it's infuriating. Anyway, good song but the main riff reminds me of "Same Old Song and Dance."
-
The original theatrical cut is great, the director's cut is a fucking abortion and he should be charged with assault and vandalism! Can you dig it????
-
My handle comes from "Videodrome".
-
...this weekend, (thanks Netflix). Honestly, thought it was very poor. I get that it was independent, (I'm assuming, given the production values), but still...
-
That movie never fails to entertain.
-
"Farewell to Kings" "Caress of Steel" "Hemispheres"... feel better now? <p> YouTube is such a crapshoot. Please look for some studio stuff from "Remote Control" and "The Completion Backwards Principle" and live "Mr. Hate" unbelievable guitar and drums... "Sushi Girl" "Attack of the 50' Woman'" Dont.t give up just yet... "MONDO BONDAGE"!
-
Ya, james' jesse was a little bit too psychotic for my tastes, but its a minor gripe in an otherwise flawlessly cast film. He redeems the character somewhat in the walk with his fiance where he talks about starting a family, but is ultimately overshadowed by stacey's frank, and the terrific character work he did. The quaids as the millers was inspired casting though, and even the guests do a good job, though probably the weakest of the sets of brothers(though they didn't have as much to work with). The Carradines as the youngers though, are magnificent, especially david who's chemistry with reed practically jumps off the screen. A truly sublime modern western.
-
There are a THOUSAND versions of WPOD on YouTube: Some are better than others and all of them feature Fee's character: Qwey Lewd (the dude with the 15" platform shoes?) WPOD is an amazing song IMO, but there are some fairly shitty videos of it on YouTube. Look for something from the 80ies with good audio quality and you will be rewarded with some astonishing guitar playing... heh listen to my longwinded ass! I have no idea what sort of music it that trips yer trigger. Please excuse the blather...

I don't mean over-the-top, just perhaps too emotionally restrained, considering what he is doing.

-
I wasn't saying you were one of those poaple. Hell, I didn't/don't even know if you're a Rush fan. <p> BTW, Videodrome, if you're on the East Coast, it's on OMAX at 12:00, about 5 minutes from now.

Who the hell are you? Was I in the Navy with you back in '87-88?!

Was hoping to meet him this year at toronto fanexpo, but he was charging out the ass.

Play the game, it's beautiful. Very surreal.

In canada navy is just a colour. Our armed forces were combined in 68 and, sadly, the royal canadian navy ceased to be. My maternal grandfather was a navy man in WW2, though.
-
I got distracted by my crush on walter hill.
-
Machete talkback? Unabashed chopping there? This one is decidedly flame-free. Just a few kids that needed some chopping with a furies baseball bat.
-
I only saw this recently. About 3-4 years ago on DVD. It was hysterical, even though it was supposed to be serious. The gangs and their retarded costumes. It should have been a full blown comedy!
-
I was feeliing your "Limelight" "Tom Sawyer" pain and throwing out my favourite Rush albums as compensation. As in: You want to hear what Rush is capable of? And what will blow your mind?
-
Your 'Canadism' didn't register in time... *ulp* You're friends with the choppah? May I inquire as to: WHY!!!!!
-
Just ignore the stupid fucker! (IE: choppy-poo-head). COVENTRY! (look it up) It's the only way. <p> Listen, we've allowed this flaming asshole to hijack every single fucking TB he decides to post to for fucking weeks. Do you like him? Think he's funny? Well then you need to grow the fuck up. He's a goddamn fascist in search of an attention high. You can't remain perverted giggling frat boys forever unless you want anything but misery out of life in the end. <p> If we stop responding, he will go away! It will take a while because he's a stubborn pugilistic asswipe cretin. But eventually, if his desperate misguided pleas for sublimated ego strokes aren't aswered he will lose interest and move on. I can't imagine to 'where' as hardly any other internet forum has such ridiculously lax mediation protocols as AICN. <p> Hopefully he'll just hang himself in a closet somewhere he can't hurt others when he inevetibly loses it over not getting his attention fix from these boards anymore. <p> That's my HOPE, but in reality I have no doubt that he will eventually go postal and shoot up a bunch of library patrons somwhere or somthing along those lines. BUT, this CANNOT go on. He's fucking up every thread on the site. We may end up being responsible for a deranged killing spree, but his oppression of AICN TBs has to end. <p> COVENTRY! We've done it before, and it WORKS.
-
A true classic indeed.
-
I'm convinced he's a comedy genius. AICN shuts down on the weekend. Without him chopping away, a lot of threads would whither and die. If you don't think he's funny, compare him to 3rd tier trolls like mj's pale dead corpse, or dioxholsterreturns. Choppah actually knows film, and has great taste.
-
He only chops trolls. He's like omar in the wire.

He's facist fucker bright boy and I find it hard
by ohsostupidlongassfuckingscreennames
to believe that you've been duped by his schtick considering the thoughful posts you've made in this very talkback. <p> He's not funny, he's not clever, he's the worst kind of troll. He's a goddamn sociopath for pity's sake. You're better than that.
-
My handle was taken from Barry White's wife, Glodene. When I first heard it, I thought, "DAMN, THAT'S ONE COUNTRY AS CHICKEN COOP SOUNDIN' NAME", so naturally I had to take it as my own...Sides', somebody had already taken Dr. Doom.<p> Btw, kudos on being a Jethro Tull fan. Me and my ex saw them three times. Twice at the Universal Amphitheatre, and once during Ian's solo stint at the Wiltern. Good times.
-
That's one I would have never sussed. Mad props anyway. But I should have gotten Barry's without asking. I am a Cronenberg NUT. <p> Seen the Tull six or seven time starting in '73, but was sincer about waht said about Fee Waybill. Anderson is great, one of THE best, but I'm really high on Fee just now. Hadnlt listened to The Tubes in years and kind of forgot how special they were/are. They're on tour in 2010! Catch 'em while you can! You got any juice on Tull? I know, I should just Google, but it's more fun hearing it from a human being. I'm an "IT Guy" but the web gets me down sometimes. All this "anonymity" is going to end in tears...

I'm AsimovLives, thank you very much. Asimov_Lives is the other guy, the souless troll. The differences can be seen with not only the underscore in the nick, but also because the other guy has no personality of his own whatsoever.

It was a useless and cruel thing to say.

So you guys think Goonies is a classic and Warriors is trash
by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World
that it doesn't hold up in anyway beyond nostalgia? Fuck this place, and fuck all of you.
-
Sometimes they show all of the gang at the start of the film and sometimes they don't?
-
Just watched it again a couple of months ago, with the girl I was seeing (who was on the soundtrack to Weird Science, so technically not a girl) and her 13 year old son - who loved it. It's definitely not a so-bad-it's good movie, it's just cool as fuck, and operates in a phantasmagorical 70s New York where there are virtually no 'real' people (except at the end, when Michael Beck/Swan rescues the flower.. 'I don't like seeing anything go to waste' - poetry!)and The Warriors never think of getting a taxi or can't steal a car... here's the opening five minutes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTDWyTJDaec
-
Fix all the cheesiness. Make the Baseball Furies more bad ass, get rid of the creepy homo on rollerskates. This could be a killer remake (also a really bad one, so maybe they should just leave it alone, lol.)
-
...in the theater on release and I still remember the positive crowd reaction. Pure gold!
-
The warriors is a classic- just a big, wonderfully silly, relentlessly entertaining beat em up of a movie. I reeeealy hope rockstar games make another warriors game. Since there was no movie sequel to the warriors, maybe the warriors frachise could continue in game form - with rockstars writers, it could result in some very cool stuff. Imagine the kind of crazy gangs the warriors could go up against if their exploits continued on into the 80s- Break dancing gangs, gangs based on wall street yuppies, flock of seagull inspired gangs, crime lords modelled after boy george...the potentials there, man. Can you dig it?
-
But I hear its already happening. Tony Scott may direct.
-
I really enjoy low budget movies from that era, but come on on. -Bad acting. -Uninteresting story..well, no story. -bad action and bad fights -generally ridiculous and simplistic characters. -static camera work -bad editing -dumb symbolisms in music choices -generally ridiculous and simplistic characters (had to repeat that one, LOL) Want to see some good trash from that time? Escape from new York or Evil Dead are the ticket, not that shit.
-
Please die.
-
Great movie. Funny how New York hasn't changed in 30 plus years.
-
The Warriors, Evil Dead and Escape From New York trash? Yes I know you wrote good trash but that just comes across as snobbery to me. Can you explain to me why they are trash, even good trash in your eyes?

A "gritty and realistic" Warriors remake is whats wrong with fil
by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World
That's the kind of mentality that's responsibility for the deluge of shit coming from hollywood these days, and for suggesting the idea you've proven yourself a moron with shit taste in films, so good work. God these talkbacks have really gone down the shittier at an alarming fucking rate lately. Young persons nowadays can't handle any kind of stylization. Everything's got to be a gritty "epic" photo realistic shit documentary that uses the title of an old movie or tv show. I blame videogames for brainwashing all the kids into this kind of thinking. And the people who think Warriors is cartoonish and unrealistic, need to check out the documentary that inspired the warriors in the first place, see what 70s new york gangs were like before everyone carried guns and shot each other for nothing. Hell if I can remember the name of it though.

Wow guys(and gal?) just had my mind blown...
by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks
JCVD..... <p> Fuckin hell who knew the Mussels from Brussels, the Asshole from Brassholes had this one in him? <p> Who knew the guy could not only act but be able to take the piss outta himself(something he has had a hard time doing, though 4 billion people disagree)? <p> Who knew I would suddenly pop up on this unrelated pic o' the day talkback raving on about a Van Damme film made two years ago???
-
....if for nothing else, it gives you a tour of New York City. I wish that underground pinball arcade at the Union Square subway station was still there. This movie didn't get a fair shake when it came out, because theater chains got nervous and pulled it when there was gang violence at some screenings.
-
parlor next to the 7/11 with a spiderweb tat on his face and neck looks scarier than anything in warriors. Note to people with tattoos: I will happily tattoo your face into optimus prime's for less than the guy next to 7/11 will charge. I'll use a staple gun dipped in horse blood to make it extra painful, so you'll consider it a right-of-passage/transformation into your new life as a human transformer that you'll never forget.
-
...somebody please tell that IMDB page for a Tony Scott Warriors remake isn't real.
-
90% of the time I'm defending a film to some ignorant troll in these talkbacks. But I think THE WARRIORS sucks. I understand why a lot of geeks love it, it has a lot of cool elements, and it should be awesome. A lot of the love for Walter Hill is based on elements he brings to his films like violence and conflict, but he isn't particularly talented. Not a hack nor a visionary. And a lot of the gangs were ridiculous! WESTSIDE STORY like in how silly they came off.

The film was supposed to be like a greek comic book
by Jehovahs_Witness
The gangs weren't supposed to seem real. Like the Orphans. Or even the furies, obviously influenced by Kiss. You're not going to see gangs like this. And Cyrus was like a Messiah, so the film had fantastical elements. But the cool thing about it was that the backdrop and the streets they were on were real.
-
The Warriors, The Long Riders, Extreme Prejudice isn't talented?
-
I guarantee you have not seen the long riders. If you have, than i feel sorry for you.
-
Red Heat, 48 hrs, The Long Riders, Last Man Standing, Trespass... Hell I'll even watch Another 48 hrs and Wild Bill over any Bay hack-fest.
-
Think about this. The Warrior's looked like a bunch of San Francisco gays. Their look made other gangs want to beat the shit out of them. Anyone agree?

vettebro, they were modeled after Native American warriors

that other one you mentioned. Make a better point
-
. . . I can watch it any time and consider it so GOOD its GOOD. But I sure as hell wouldn't expect a youngster just now seeing it for the first time to like it. Wouldn't recommend it to them at all. The makeup, the one-liners, the roller skates, etc . . . you either caught the boat early or missed it entirely.
-
You misunderstood...ok, my bad, I used the wrong term. Warriors is trash (IMHO) for all the reasons I wrote above and several more. It´s just a dumb flick that doesn´t even deliver on the basic genre stuff like violence and grittyness you´d expect from something like that. And don´t get me wrong, I like a lot of Walter Hills later movies. Evil Dead and Escape from NY aren´t trash, they are excellent low-budget movies. In fact (again IMO) ED should be studied by every film student.
-
Also they have no idea what San Francisco gays look like - the same as other gays, they look straight as fuck. No way would they be dressing like The Warriors, which is more like the 70s Aerosmith/Stones rock star look.
-
. . . also direct a bunch of Dead Wood epidsodes? The guy is a bad ass. Another one that I LOVE that I'm sure a bunch would hate on is Streets of Fire. Like The Warriors, its another that is set in our world, yet somehow isn't. Gotta love Willem Dafoe in those latex overalls.

Because of the Indian and the Cowboy in the Village People....
by Jehovahs_Witness
...I think that outfit conjures up gay imagery automatically for some.
-
I haven't seen the movie in a long time, but why exactly did Walter Hill put in those crappy animated transitions? Did he ever say why? Personally, I wish he would have just left them out, but was curious if you knew why he felt the need to add them.
-
there was a film that Joel Schumacher should remake...
-
ya most gays look like straight guys who give a shit about how they look
-
He put them in because when he originally made the film he wanted them there but didn;'t have the budget. He was a huge comic book fan and wanted the transitions to be like comic spalsh pages.
-
splash
-
The soundtrack is great, especially the songs by Fire Inc.
-
...was awful. The lamest alternate world idea ever: "the look of the 50s meets the sound of the 80s"

Why not get us some obscure shit like The Gong Show Movie.

not surprising since they're both filmed like shit and suck..blacks seem to dig that.

For anyone wishing this was about The Monkees movie...
by Dead_Kate_Moss
Head is my favourite movie. But if you were going to pick a relevant quote to tease people in... maybe 'and the same thing goes for Christmas?'How d'ya like them apples?'
-
Warriors, Serpico, Prince of the City. I love to see that world which no longer exists... that period when the yuppies and trendies abandoned NY, en masse, for LA and San Franciso (the vogue cities of the 70s). Leaving NY so broke and empty that corruption and crime if painted on the walls and spread all over the streets. I remember Michael Beck saying," The Warriors opened a lot of doors for me in Hollywood, which Xanadu promptly slammed shut!" Ouch! At least he got to make Megaforce with Barry Bostwick as a consolation!
-
..to think about black peoples wet dreams and hopes they´re about shit and sucking. He wants a black person, preferably of his own gender, to go down on him and then shit in his mouth. alienindisguise is pretty nasty, huh?
-
Even the remake of Invasion of Body Snatchers, Dirty Harry, Death Wish all made you feel the vibe of the city.<br> <br> Ever walk down Vegas after midnight on the strip? Such a rush with all the people, sights, sounds. Just as if the city itself was alive. Gotta do it once in your life.
-
...that you get from watching it in movies like The Warriors or Remo Williams, thanks largely to the existence of the Wonder Wheel, the Cyclone, and the community of local freaks who frequent the boardwalk and the beach...especially in the winter, when just the diehard Coney fans are there.
-
you are a retard
-
I don't mind the comic book-y transitions at all-they're in keeping with Hill's vision of the film. But if only they could have been done by actual '70s comic book artists: Gene Colan comes to mind...
-
Just more workmanlike than visionary is all I'm saying. He has made at least one great film which is 48 Hours, I haven't seen THE LONGRIDERS yet but I will rectify that immediately. My point is that if he had directed ALIEN instead of Ridley Scott it wouldn't be the masterpiece it is.

LIKE NY OF THE 70'S? WATCH THE DOC CALLED AMERICAN SWING......
by CreationistTechnophobicManiacs
It's about Larry Levinson who ran Plato's Retreat, a popular swingers club in New York that ran from 77 to 85 until Mayor Koch used the fag plague (otherwise known as AIDS) as an excuse to shut it down. I wish I could have lived in New York of the 70's, when the city seemed at its most depraved, decrepit and glorious.
-
I strongly recommend ______ B l a c k w h i t e C u p i d * C o m ______ to you where I just found my interracial boyfriend! You know it is a great place to meet black men and beautiful women. What's kind of relationship do you want? ;)

Loved The Warriors as a kid, still fun to watch.
by david_boreanez_cunt_hairz
They killed Cyrus!!!!
-
First time I've seen it in many years. It's not the greatest, most awesome movie ever, but it's definitely a good one. I was expecting the rose-colored glasses of childhood would have clouded my memories into thinking it was something it wasn't... I was pleasantly surprised it didn't feel cheesy, and overall it still holds up today.<p> And props to England's Finest for the Poppies reference...<p? We dig Marvel and DC<p> We dig Run DMC<p> We dig Renegade Soundwave and AC/DC
-
Not s'psed to be effin Raging Bull or Citizen Kane. Still think it's a great action/suspense movie.<P> Helped a friend paint his face as a Baseball Furie for Halloween back in '86. Great costume.
-
in exactly the same way that the Warriors rules!<P> Definitely track that one down, if you haven't seen it. It was out of print for years and is back available again.

and turn you into a popsicle." James Remar is so badass.

Southern Comfort is basically just The Warriors in the bayou
by slone13
<p>Regardless, both flicks rule.</p> <p>I went as a Furie for Halloween a couple years ago.</p> <p>The Warriors poster still hangs in my foyer to this day. It's a fucking amazing poster.</p>
