    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The original poster featured the words "These are the armies of the night. They are 100,000 strong. They outnumber the cops five to one. They could run New York City." This upset and outraged many people; some tried to have the film banned.
    • Goofs
      When walking, the girl is wearing high-heel sandals. However when she is running with the Warriors as they are chased by the cops in the subway station, she is wearing "practical" shoes.
    • Quotes

      Luther: [clicking beer bottles together] Waaaarrrrrriiiorsss, come out to pla-i-ay!

    • Crazy credits
      In the original version, the end credits are followed by 3 minutes of black screen as the Joe Walsh song "In the City" plays.
    • Alternate versions
      The Ultimate Director's Cut runs around one minute longer, adding a voiceover introduction from director Walter Hill describing a legendary Greek army's attempt to fight its way home, and comic-book freeze frame shots bridging various scenes in the film.

    Interesting, action-filled, gang-drama
    Interesting, action-filled, gang-drama.

    A delegation from a gang, the Warriors, goes to a meeting of all the major gangs in New York. The convener of the meeting, Cyrus, wants to unite all the gangs into one huge crime army. However, he is shot and killed by a disgruntled gang member and the Warriors are blamed. Now they have to fight their way home...

    Regarded as a bit of cult classic, the Warriors isn't brilliant, but it is quite entertaining. Decent plot - though some of the traps and twists can be spotted a mile off - and good action scenes.

    Performances aren't bad - the machismo, swagger and, to an extent, overacting are laid on thick but this suits the characters and movie.
