Hey everybody, it’s movie time! I’m re-writing the words from the start of a Styx hit song and saying today is “movie time!” For movie time today, let’s watch “The Warriors” from 1979. “The Warriors” was the first movie I reviewed for my blog in May 2014 and through today (Tuesday, Aug. 13, 2024), I’ve now reviewed a total of 400 films plus 30 other special reviews.
“The Warriors” is a gang movie about a crew from Coney Island that travels by subway into the heart of New York City for a gang conclave conceived as a way to organize the city’s street gangs into a unified force. Well, as you might expect, it all goes wrong, they’re accused of killing the leader of the biggest gang in the city and they’re having to “bop” their back to their home sands of Coney Island.
“The Warriors” isn’t a great movie by any evaluation, but it does have some above-average style and while the acting is a bit wooden, you can get into the film (“Dig it!”) and it has become a cult favorite in the gang-movie genre. There are not any “big” names in the cast, but the entire group does a solid job, especially the maniacal leader of a gang (the “Rogues”) opposed to the “Warriors.”
“The Warriors” takes you through a variety of neighborhoods and their geographic gangs from the pathetic “Orphans” to the deadly “Riffs” to the nasty “Baseball Furies” to the brutal “Turnbull ACs” and the all-female “Lizzies.” Of course, it winds up back at Coney Island and you again meet the “Rouges” and the “Riffs.”
You won’t have any trouble finding “The Warriors” and you certainly won’t have any trouble enjoying the film … I guarantee it!
