The Warriors

The Warriors. From Left, Cleon (Dorsey Wright), Rembrandt (Marcelino Sánchez), Cochise (David Harris), Cowboy (Tom McKitterick),
Ajax (James Remar), Vermin (Terry Michos), Swan (Michael Beck), Fox (Thomas Waites), and Snow (Brian Tyler).

The head honcho of the largest gang in New York City, the Gramercy Riffs, Cyrus, calls for a meeting in Van Courtland Park, inviting nine representatives from each of the NYC's toughest street gangs.

Cyrus pitched his idea to the gangs. His plan was to unite the gangs, which would outnumber the NYPD 10-to-1, and to lay taxes upon the cops and the crime syndicates.

The gangs are all for it. Too bad Luther, the boss of the Rogues, decide to gun down the Riffs' boss. To make matters worse, he pins the murder on a gang hailing from Coney Island.

The Warriors.

Now, without their leader (and founder of the gang) Cleon, Swan takes over as Warlord, and leads his buddies back to their home base on Coney.

Only problem is that they got the police and the gangs hunting them down, from the all-bald Turnbull AC's, the baseball-happy Furies, the overall-wearing Punks, to the all-female Lizzies.

The poor boys are in for a night they sure as hell won't forget.

The Warriors is in my top 20 of all-time cult favorites. Still look at this movie from time to time. These mofos from Coney deserve mad respect.

Ajax looks gay in that picture.

Swan was my favourite member of The Warriors

Swan without a doubt. The guy barely lost his cool through most of that movie.

Ajax would kick the holy shit outta Swan.

Probably, but my original statement still stands.

Swan was the better leader by far, no doubt there.

Agreed. Ajax is definitely the most effective enforcer of the group. And Janes Remar is my fave actor from the film.

Mhm, but he was a huge dumbass.

Chasing tail when you have every gang and cop looking for you - very bad idea. And said tail just so happens to be a cop (Mercedes Ruhel). Bad form indeed.

Swan got his buddies home. Were it not for him, they would have been a red stain on the streets of the NYC.

Every time I watch the movie, I wonder "Why don't they just steal a damn car?"

Guess the movie wouldn't have been as fun to watch if they did. Those fights were classic, especially the chair-to-da-head to one of the Lizzies.

I just noticed something. Swan was pretty handy with a knife, not to mention he managed to dodge a bullet from Luther's gun.

Several of the fight scenes.

It had to be done. Luther calling out The Warriors in this iconic scene.

One thing: People say the Furies were shit fighters. Incorrect. They just happened to take on 4 of the baddest Warriors.

Because they were more white-guys than black in the gang.

Also, Swan would kick Ajax's ass, you tool.

Poor Fox had to take one for the whole team and Cleon as well

Cleon?

The original leader who was beaten to death by the Riffs after Luther shot Cyrus

I get their names mixed up. Snow, shit.
