Interesting backstory on the movie and its aftermath: can you dig it?

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Warriors, come out to play

If ever a movie is begging for a modern remake...

 

[Brony]

Was just listening to the Simmons Ringer Rewatchables podcast on this movie.  I'm still angered that he thought the Orphans scene went on too long.  DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU GET?! DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU MESS WITH THE ORPHANS!!!

This one and one of my other favorites of the 70s

Race with the Devil

 

[jamny]

Just watched it about a month ago for the first time in probably over 30 years. Still fun.

 

[ZenoRazon]

A must see every time it's on, much like The Roadwarrior.

I did learn from the podcast that the Warriors character Fox played by Thomas Waites was written out of the movie while filming. They threw his character on the train tracks and he's never mentioned again. Uncredited role. 

I'm also mad at the podcast for saying Joe Walsh "in the city" was bad choice for ending credits.  I thought it was great.

The tune had an even more prominent role in the original ending.

Not sure what Swan saw in Lydia Cornell's sister from Too Close For Comfort.

Great movie, and that article was an interesting read.

Just awfulness waiting to happen.

Wouldn’t they just call an Uber?

Yeah, not really interested in seeing Ryan Reynolds as a gang thug or Jacob DeGrom in a cameo as one of the Baseball Furies.

Right? I'd watch it tomorrow if they did it.

They also need to get on the remake of Escape From New York.

Actor Marcelino Sánchez (Rembrandt in the film) died of AIDS-related cancer at age 28.

Now I don't know what to believe.  I had originally heard that the movie premiere led to violence all over the country.  Then about a decade ago, I heard someone (maybe the director) say that all the talk of the violence was overblown and they weren't even sure if the incidents had anything to do with the movie, or if they were just normal gang violence.  Now this article is saying it lead to violent attacks.  

Which is it?

Like everything else, I'm sure the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Maybe Patty Smyth could do the title song on the remake.

 

[Mr. Mojo]

It's been on a cable a lot lately. I've enjoyed watching it again.

 

[zamboni]

Maybe Patty Smyth could do the title song on the remake.

Or a Patty Smyth/Patti Smith duet.

 

[NotSmart]

Some say they're still out there, fighting their way home...

didn't notice a huge difference here on the ending.

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Meh

 

[Binky The Doormat]

yeah, movie over.  

 

[Arizona Ron]

A post-apocalyptic Warriors could work.   Modern one, not so much.

Have to find a longer/better clip when they’re hanging out in Coney Island at the end

Wtf

Aids related cancer is a thing?

I thought that was something we only wished on people we hated
