Lived in coney island in the late 70's. back then, real Rough neighborhood Still bad today. The warriors logo painted on the building faclng the beach was there then. The building was a salt water bath house named Stauche's baths. My grandmother, long gone, would go there in the 30's and 40's. my mom too. I'm 74.
The fact that they reprised the actors in game, and that they delivered their lines better there than in the movie shows that this film was their first real acting gig.

The music at the Wonder Wheel is so fucking spooky. Conjures up images of all the bad shit that goes on around there well after midnight. This movie has a genius soundtrack.
After hearing the stories and seeing pictures, NYC looked like a really fucking rough place back then. Even the subway system in the 70s/80s looked creepy af.
@@odenirongiant And both the Satan's Mothers and Destroyers. Speaking of which, were the motorcycle gang ever in the movie, or even the Destroyers, for that matter?
if you like the warriors then i think you would like the High & Low series. It's a japanese action movie series about 5 street gangs that control a city and they all have their own unique style like the warriors. The music is good and the action is top notch.
The train solo shot is so great, it drives the entire plot. They start by getting on the train to go to the meeting and the entire movie they do everything they possibly can to get on a train back to Coney. Love this movie, the score is criminally underrated
I had a college professor named H. Craig Collins at St. John's University in the early 1980's, WW II vet and retired NYPD. He was a sergeant in the NYPD and from 1970-1973 was head of the city's gang unit, reporting directly to the mayor of NY. He wrote a book about the gangs of that time period in NYC, especially the Bronx. They all wore vests - "colors"- to identify themselves. Pretty much non-existent by 1979, but what a cool flick this was.
In Chicago,in the 60’s-80’s all the gangs had sweaters that had their respective colors. They used to fight and kill each other for stealing each other’s sweaters. They stopped wearing them because they were open targets from rival gangs and police.
@@timmycrw91 That sounds like a modern day version of Herbert Asbury's Gangs Of New York published in 1920. I would like to read it, do you remember the name of his book?
I am on the fence about a remake . . . There could be some nice changes . For one , the vests could be black , and they really need to go and bust Ajax out of the can . Also at the end , swan needs to FINALLY give Mercy the vest . There other other things also but I don’t feel like typing them all . And Rembrandt could have been a better artist and they need to go through MANHATTAN and Times Square too . Peace
When this masterpiece came out in '79, it was only shown a few times in my city. It got a bad reputation for causing fights and general chaos. It's still my favorite movie of all time. If you liked this, try another '70s classic called "Vanishing Point". It's got a killer ending.
Doesn't help that they got actual gang members for the Cyrus speech as extras to fill the crowd. Supposedly they got real into the Cyrus speech which is why the cheers are so lively
This movie simultaneously ended the 70s movie era and kickstarted 80s cinema in one fell swoop. This movie was 80s cool years and years before Miami Vice.
I like how much the intro showing main 9 members of the Warriors kinda captures their characters that would be expanded upon later in the game. Cleon and Swan are the no-nonsense leaders, Ajax being the crass "one track mind" muscle, Rembrandt being the artist, Snow being as cool as his nickname gives, Cochise saying that Cyrus is "magic", Cowboy being very sensitive about his Stetson, Fox being the observant one and Vermin being the comic-relief.
One of the best intros to any movie. The characters and their personalities are introduced, as well as the length of their journey. Movies today could take some lessons from this.
I litterally love this intro. The music, the ghetto atmosphere, really caught the 70s aesthetic and help you out to get deeper and deeper into the movie´s mood.
On top of that, it also shows you everything you need to know about the individual characters personalities and relationships through simple character interaction and minimal dialog.
My dad had recorded this film on a VHS tape back in the day. I must have honestly been about 4 or 5 when I first watched it and I would watch it over and over again. The opening music with the wonder wheel gives me ultra nostalgia. The bathroom fight scene is so epic!
This was a great way to give expose, basically have the characters interviewing each other allowing the viewer to be introduced to both the plot and the characters before the movie even starts
Worlds better than someone coming out and explaining everything in one speech. The actors deliver how serious the meeting is going to be and how they're going to uphold the pact.
Saw this on HBO in 1980, and was so taken aback by the portrayal of NYC, youths and the unspoken way of the street that this suburban boy could only witness. Epic.
The cinematography in this movie was incredible, and this intro was absolutely amazing, the music, the lighting, the text font it’s jus iconic… have always loved this movie, I remember playing the game as a kid too and having to spray paint the warriors tag on certain spots, ah the nostalgia
Perfect intro. The music, the cinematography, it gives me a really specific feeling that I can’t explain. Just started my hundredth play through of the game!
It never ceases to amaze me how the intro perfectly sets the story and introduces the characters without being obnoxious or intrusive. The combination of short dialogues and scenes gives all the info you need: what, who, why, where and when, without giving away any spoilers. A true film writing masterpiece!
About any movie from that decade that manages to capture New York, not just as a backdrop and setting but as a vital, living part of the movie and the story became absolute classics and are endlessly re-watchable. The Warriors, Taxi Driver, Cruising, Marathon Man, Wall Street, 9 1/2 weeks, Hair, Ghostbuster, Annie Hall... . New York back then had a vibrancy and energy that was simply electrifying.
What I love about this movie is what I love about New York. People from different races, backgrounds, and cultures coexisting with one another. Everybody is just vibing and hanging together. Basically everyone is colorblind.
I am not sure that The Warriors provides the best example of different people co-existing, vibing and hanging. The gang culture was not only perpetually violent with groups defending turfs and fighting others, a lot of the gangs - as portrait in the movie - were formed based on ethnic identies. They were all in some ways very exclusive. Skin colour, nationalities, neighborhood (socio-economic background). @@xro1983
I saw it back in 1979 just love the music.fits nicely into every scene ,that sence of Honor, loyalty devotion to each other just blows me away 41 years later 'its still on'
This came on the TV yesterday whilst I was working from home. It's been a long time since I seen it, safe to say I didn't get much work done after that What a film. Classic
Believe it or not, I look at this intro everyday, idk why. But something about each gang going into the meeting via the subway gives that cool vibe lol
So my brother recommended this movie to me and he for me has always picked movies that I tend to enjoy. When I saw posters of this movie I thought it was silly. But when my brother recommended it to me I decided to give it a look. Within the first six minutes of this movie I realized that this was one of the best movies ever made with just six minutes of film. Still one of my favorite movies.
I could not go on enough about how much of a masterpiece and a classic this is. I've watched it hundreds of times. I will say that the other gang which I've always been most intrigued by at the start is the Electric Eliminators.
My dad saw this in theaters and loved it! He even introduced it to me when I was 13 and in college, he helped out with my and my friend's Halloween costume when we went as the Warriors.
saw the whole movie for the first time at a friends house on a Thursday afternoon. All that I can say about this movie is that it’s by far one of the best things that I have ever saw in my life. I have no regrets watching it 10/10
my dad had the intro as his ringtone when i was growing up. finally watched the movie when i was 16 and have been in love ever since. i always watch clips or the movie itself when i miss my dad
Likewise. My dad sat with me and watched it when I was a kid and every now n again we'd sit and watch it together. He's gone now ... I have the dvd under the TV. I may pop it in and give it a re watch soon for old times sake
One of the most underrated movies. What makes it even more amazing was that the entire film was shot at night in keeping with the theme. Amazing job by everyone involved.
Awesome intro even by today's standards. Cinematic, builds tension, introduces characters and gangs and advances the plot and it's all done through the opening credits. Amazing.
Looking back on this movie one has to be impressed by the ambitious nature of this film. The costume designer alone is the real hero of this movie each gang had su h a distinct look the number of extras needed for the big meeting alone must have been a nightmare to pull off.
Great point and this is all pre-CGI,so they had to do everything for real. The sheer logistics of setting everything up couldn't have been fun. I don't know if they used any matte paintings in the movie,though.Matte paintings were used in a lot of movies prior to CGI and some movies even still use them today but they're usually digital matte paintings instead of the hand-painted ones of old.
Rest in peace to my mother for showing me such a classic, it was a true bonding moment watching this movie, my dance team even did this movie as a theme, it’s here on RUclips under the title “THROWBACK SHOW 2015 CLIP 5”…… RIP REMBRANDT AND COCHISE
My dad inteoduced me to this movie and i fell in love with it. Im 21 now and would love to see a movie that takes place in this world the warriors were created in. But the way hollywood is these days i dont want them to destroy and disinterest me in the worlds these classic movies created. E.g (" Star wars") and everyother remake, remaster and sequel thats shat out these days just to profit off the original classic, great films that were made years ago
I was born January 23, 1979. This great movie was released February 9, 1979. Which makes me and This movie 45yrs old. I even loved playing the game. I wish Rockstar would bring the game back with today's graphics and an online multiplayer option. I'm from the Bronx, born and raised.
I love how the music perfectly captures the transition from late '70s disco to early '80s synth-pop/new wave...
Very 'Terminator'.
Soo true, also true of the film itself, feels like a 80's pop movie through a 70's gritty filter.
Perfect stylistically, PFunk and Cheech & Chong pulled this off regularly between 77 and 82

When I was a kid watching this in 06 I remember thinking Cleon looked so old but now wtaching this at 25 years old hes just a kid!
Looking back on this movie one has to be impressed by the ambitious nature of this film. The costume designer alone is the real hero of this movie each gang had su h a distinct look the number of extras needed for the big meeting alone must have been a nightmare to pull off.
Great point and this is all pre-CGI,so they had to do everything for real.
The sheer logistics of setting everything up couldn't have been fun.
I don't know if they used any matte paintings in the movie,though.Matte paintings were used in a lot of movies prior to CGI and some movies even still use them today but they're usually digital matte paintings instead of the hand-painted ones of old.
One of the best marriages of scenery and music, perfectly building up tension and keeping pace. The music is truely the unsung hero in this movie.
Rest in peace to my mother for showing me such a classic, it was a true bonding moment watching this movie, my dance team even did this movie as a theme, it’s here on RUclips under the title “THROWBACK SHOW 2015 CLIP 5”…… RIP REMBRANDT AND COCHISE
My dad inteoduced me to this movie and i fell in love with it. Im 21 now and would love to see a movie that takes place in this world the warriors were created in. But the way hollywood is these days i dont want them to destroy and disinterest me in the worlds these classic movies created. E.g (" Star wars") and everyother remake, remaster and sequel thats shat out these days just to profit off the original classic, great films that were made years ago
Clean’s screen time is so limited yet precious. 😢he is a good leader and decent guy
Check the deleted scenes, he’s in a good majority of them
One of my all time favorites! NICE! Thank you for sharing.
One of the best opening scenes in cinema
The greatest intro with the greatest music to the greatest film of all time
I was born January 23, 1979. This great movie was released February 9, 1979. Which makes me and This movie 45yrs old. I even loved playing the game. I wish Rockstar would bring the game back with today's graphics and an online multiplayer option. I'm from the Bronx, born and raised.
This is probably one of the most badass movie intros i have seen
2025.....who's watching this. Absolute classic
I own it on DVD. 👍
I return sometimes, this piece of golden intro really gets me up & at it
straight facts
miss watching the movie and playing the game
Si
Saw this movie when I was like 8 years old, I’m 24 now. Still a classic everyone should watch.
I saw it in the theater : )
Great characters- dialog- picture and music! Great movie!
One of my all time favorite movies. I never get tired of watching it.
Love this film, one of the first i ever watched on vhs
One of the best openings to a film ever made!
Such an outstanding movie intro and on point for its time. One of the very best. The soundtrack is epic.
So on point--I love when shit is on point. Everything should be on point. I love when people say on point--it's so on point.
Especially 'In The City'
Just goose bumps every time..
If you are ridding the subway with this music.......you feel invincible
Dont worry i dont feel like getting wrecked. Best acting ever😂
Is cuz Rembrandt is a teenager and the smallest of the Gang....and newest recurited so that why Swan tells him that
