“Warriors come out to play-ee-ay”

That was the character Luther played by David Patrick Kelly who went on to play alongside James Remar (Ajax in The Warriors) in the excellent ‘48 Hours’ with Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte, as Luther and Ganz respectively.

Trivia:
Yes Kelly’s characters were named “Luther” in both films!

Every time I watch it, I look out for the black man wearing the full Union Jack T shirt in the crowd of gangs and then when Cyrus does his speech, I can never make sense of his maths. Can you dig it?

The Warriors 1979

This movie rates as one of my all time favourites for dozens of reasons.

The direction is excellent, the musical score superb, the acting is class by notable up and comers of the time and the story is rooted in some robust heritage in Sol Yurick's 1965 novel The Warriors, which was, in turn, based on Xenophon's Anabasis.

The movie moves with pa ...[text shortened]... ng life.

Thoughts on this movie, or any other cult movies which have similarly grown in stature?

I watched it at the theatre when it came out and I thought the same as you've posted back then. I even had the soundtrack album.

I watched it a few months ago and it still has legs. It stands up to the test of time.
That little dude with the beer bottles on his fingers and taunting the Warriors still creeps me out.

Joe Walsh's In The City is perfect as a theme song.
