THE WARRIORS - FINALLY!

[Mockery]

The Warriors director's cut is finally out on DVD. I just received my copy and I've been waiting for this movie to get a proper release for ages. Have you guys seen it before? If not, you must buy it immediately because no movie collection is complete without it.

It's a classic 80s flick where a gang is basically framed for the murder of the head of all gangs in the city. So this one gang, The Warriors, is now being hunted by every other gang in the city. Even better, each gang has a great theme such as one called "The Furies" that has all members dress up in baseball uniforms. Fucking classic!

I'm also really interested in the Rockstar Games adaptation of this movie that's coming out... from the trailers I've seen, it appears to follow the storyline really well. I dunno, just the idea of a Grand Theft Auto-ish game stylized like The Warriors is very tempting to me. Of course, it'll never be on Gamecube, so I'll have to wait for the PC version.

we were talking about this in Gaming a few days ago. I've got the Director's Cut and I don't really like it. it's one of those instances where allowing the director to do everything he wanted is a bad thing.

[Lye]

yeah, there was a review on dvdtalk that said that it was really disapointing. It really is too bad they didn't simply put the theather cut on it too.

I've only got the original dvd right now and from what italian said I doubt I'll get the director's cut :(

I've got no problem watchin' the version I loved as a kid and first saw when I was like 5.

I still havent gotten around to see the whole thing. Something always comes up. For this I am shamed and shall buy the non-Directors cut DVD

I watched this for the first time about a month ago. the gang of mimes with tops hats is awesome.

Your best bet is to get the original on DVD and be sparred the Directors cut comic book add ons.

I own the original DVD already, and I'm not usually the type to buy director's cuts (unless they have so many extras to make it worth buying the same movie twice) and from Stereotype's comments, I think my original is enough.

Even before I ever saw this flick again I remembered seeing it when I was a kid just for the one line:

"Waaa-rriors! Come out and plaaaa-aaay!"
