"The Warriors" Appreciation

[lamont614]

In the film, a girl called Mercy (Deborah Van Valkenburgh) leaves the Orphans and follows the Warriors after their encounter. Mercy and Swan start up a romance. In the novel, a girl who was with the Borinquen Blazers decides to follow the Dominators after an encounter, however the Dominators end up gang-raping her and leaving her behind. In both of these situations, the girl initially tries to stir up the Warriors/Dominators by asking for a piece of their clothing. Mercy (the Orphans' girl) asks for a Warriors' vest, and the Blazers' girl asks for a Dominators' pin. In the film, Swan threatens to have the gang "run a train" on Mercy at one point (a possible reference to the novel)

Why not? Too much surveillance or snitching?

Walter Hill is still alive he could do a remake?

All the gangs today are out for the same thing; chains and money; and they all the same (tattoos and skin color may be different)

Would be a hard sell. That movie was take from a Greek play and the gangs had character and themes. It was theatrical and it worked. I could be very wrong but I do not see that working today. Social media gang ads are a joke and not in a funny way.

At all.

Finally upgraded to blu. Been meaning to put this on.

Edit: anniversary day? Might as well throw it on later.

Netflix has been trying to develop a WARRIORS TV Series. It's going to be hard to work in modern times. They'd be better off doing a period piece.
