The Warriors combines pure pulp storytelling and surprisingly poetic images into a thoroughly enjoyable cult classic. The plot is mythically pure (and inspired by a legendary bit of Greek history): When a charismatic gang leader is shot at a conclave in the Bronx meant to unite all the gangs in New York City, a troupe from Coney Island called the Warriors get blamed and have to fight all the way back to their own turf--which means an escalating series of battles with colorful and improbable gangs like the Baseball Furies, who wear baseball uniforms and KISS-inspired face make-up. Pop existentialism, performances that are somehow both wooden and overwrought, and zesty, kinetic filmmaking from director Walter Hill (Southern Comfort, 48 Hrs.) result in a delicious and unexpectedly resonant operatic cheesiness. The Ultimate Director's Cut doesn't radically alter the movie--some of the editing is tighter, the Greek legend has been added as an introduction--with one exception: in transitions, scenes begin and end as scenes from a comic book. While The Warriors always had a comic book flavor (and Hill, in an interview, says he deliberately pursued that sensibility), this device--similar to The Hulk--seems a bit overkill. But it's a minor problem; the movie holds its own, even 26 years later. --Bret Fetzer
Product Description
A battle of gigantic proportions is looming in the neon underground of New York City. The armies of the night number 100000; they outnumber the police 5 to 1; and tonight they're after the Warriors - a street gang blamed unfairly for a rival gang leader's death. This contemporary action-adventure story takes place at night underground in the sub-culture of gang warfare that rages from Coney Island to Manhattan to the Bronx. Members of the Warriors fight for their lives seek to survive in the urban jungle and learn the meaning of loyalty. This intense and stylized film is a dazzling achievement for cinematographer Andrew Laszlo.Runtime: 94 minsFormat: DVD HD Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE UPC: 097361247649 Manufacturer No: 124764

The Warriors wins July 7, 2008
Ian Gunther (Milwaukee, WI USA)
This movie is made of the win. I wish that there was more special features or that the movie was extended or something, but overall this movie is a very interesting view on a dystopian future where gangs have style, and "waste" people instead of killing them... most of the time. If you've ever seen A Clockwork Orange it's kinda like that, but more about action than psychological, and not really as intelligent, but that's okay.

This DVD came to me in very good cosmetic condition. It runs perfectly and has yet to skip once.
