During their harrowing attempt to make it back home to Coney Island, the Warriors meet a beautiful young woman (Deborah Van Valkenburgh) who falls for Swan, and must battle numerous other outrageously dressed gangs &#8212; including the skinhead Turnball A.C.s, the Baseball Furies, the Punks, and the all-female Lizzies.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>\n<strong>Genres, Themes, Actors, and Directors:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gangs<\/li>\n<li>New York City<\/li>\n<li>Walter Hill Films<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Response to Peary\u2019s Review: <\/strong><br \/>\nPeary describes &#8220;Walter Hill&#8217;s nifty, stylized, heart-pounding action movie&#8221; as &#8220;set in a surreal, fantasy New York, a playground for numerous tribes (called gangs) which stake out territories and parade around in garish identifying costumes, brandishing weapons and spray paint with which to decorate everything in their paths.&#8221; He notes that this is a &#8220;dream world, an enormous arena of parks and empty subway tunnels, the perfect obstacle course&#8221;, with &#8220;the subway trains &#8212; neutral territory in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Warriors_(Yurick_novel)\">Sol Yurick&#8217;s much different&#8230; source novel<\/a> &#8212; Hill&#8217;s bases, one for each baseline.&#8221; He points out that &#8220;the police are another tribe, the Men in Blue who serve as umpires and remove all rule breakers from the game&#8221;, and that &#8220;there is even a play-by-play announcer, a female deejay who reports the Warriors&#8217; progress&#8221; and refers to their gang as &#8220;a minor-league team&#8221;. Peary reminds us that &#8220;the film is bloodless&#8221; and the &#8220;violence is cartoonlike, with every brutally beaten character feeling fine immediately after&#8221; &#8212; a notable fact, given that &#8220;this film was the object of a huge anti-violence-in-film campaign due to some incidents in theaters in which it played&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>Peary elaborates on this film in his first <em>Cult Movies<\/em> book, where he describes in detail the many differences between it and the original novel. He writes that while &#8220;<em>The Warriors<\/em>, artistically, is an uneven film to say the least&#8221;, it &#8220;is so full of unbridled energy and drive, with frenetic pacing from beginning to end, that it&#8217;s hard not to root&#8230; for it to succeed.&#8221; While &#8220;it&#8217;s a film that&#8217;ll make you cringe at times&#8221;, you&#8217;ll &#8220;forgive the shortcomings and praise the exciting camerawork, the excellent use of music, and the oddly conceived performance of David Patrick Kelly, the best wacko villain since Andy Robinson in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=5347\"><em>Dirty Harry<\/em> (1971)<\/a>.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Warriors-Kelly.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Warriors-Kelly-1024x571.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"357\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-62209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Warriors-Kelly-1024x571.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Warriors-Kelly-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Warriors-Kelly-128x71.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Warriors-Kelly-768x429.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Warriors-Kelly-1536x857.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Warriors-Kelly-484x270.png 484w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Warriors-Kelly.png 1819w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Indeed, there&#8217;s much to admire and enjoy about this fast-paced flick, including the &#8220;first rate&#8221; choreography of the fight scenes, the stylized costumes (especially those of the Furies), and highly effective use of New York shooting locales. This unique cult favorite remains well worth a look. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Peary understandably fails to point out the nifty comic-strip transitions added in the 2005 director&#8217;s cut,
