All Star
In honor of the event, which was organized by die-hard fans of The Warriors, Rolling Stone tagged along for the ride and took video of the events, which included a huge celebration at Coney Island at the end of the cast’s trip.
The available cast included Michael Beck, who played de-facto gang leader Swan, alongside David Harris, Dorsey Wright, Terry Michos, and Thomas G. Waites, all of whom sported the dark-red vests of The Warriors in Hill’s film. (My question is: Where the heck is James Remar?)
Reflecting on the event, Beck said “”I just love being here with all the fans. I see kids coming here, eight years old, and I go ‘How do you even know about this movie?'” The film has a major cult status – which I touched on when writing about it a few weeks ago – so, it’s not so surprising, and it’s not like genuine cinephilia is entirely rare.
Despite what many people may think, there are still plenty of people willing to explore streaming services, DVD bargain bins, and, yes, illegal torrent/streaming sites to find gems as marginally famous as The Warriors.
