The Warriors combines pure pulp storytelling and surprisingly poetic images into a thoroughly enjoyable cult classic. The plot is mythically pure (and inspired by a legendary bit of Greek history): When a charismatic gang leader is shot at a conclave in the Bronx meant to unite all the gangs in New York City, a troupe from Coney Island called the Warriors get blamed and have to fight all the way back to their own turf--which means an escalating series of battles with colorful and improbable gangs like the Baseball Furies, who wear baseball uniforms and KISS-inspired face make-up. Pop existentialism, performances that are somehow both wooden and overwrought, and zesty, kinetic filmmaking from director Walter Hill (Southern Comfort, 48 Hrs.) result in a delicious and unexpectedly resonant operatic cheesiness. The Ultimate Director's Cut doesn't radically alter the movie--some of the editing is tighter, the Greek legend has been added as an introduction--with one exception: in transitions, scenes begin and end as scenes from a comic book. While The Warriors always had a comic book flavor (and Hill, in an interview, says he deliberately pursued that sensibility), this device--similar to The Hulk--seems a bit overkill. But it's a minor problem; the movie holds its own, even 26 years later. --Bret Fetzer

This DVD came to me in very good cosmetic condition. It runs perfectly and has yet to skip once.

I'm not giving The Warriors 1 star, but this review is for the directors-cut dvd. I anticipated this release and the day it came out I bought it and invited a few friends over to watch it. I was MORTIFIED at how this thing was edited. The picture was clear, there were now comic strips edited in, and partial scenes were animated. WHAT. THE. F$@#?! I had only watched this movie on vhs and that's how I believe it should be watched-- in it's old, fuzzy, cheesy glory. This dvd is one more reason ... Read More

This is truly a classic, and a great one. Some people have tried to review this movie on the basis of accuracy or reality, but that just won't do. You might as well argue how the Millenium Falcon had gravity or why good guys never get hit by bullets in action movies, etc. No, no, to fully enjoy this movie you have to surrender some sense of reality and accept this movie as is.
With that in mind, this is simply a wonderful movie. The action is intense and the characters are flavorful. ... Read More

This is a very entertaining movie, although I seriously doubt if street gangs have ever been so unintentionally humorous. Compared to the reality of what street gangs do, these gangs seem more like contestants for a reality show. That is not a slam on the movie, I believe the movie was just a sign of the times. It's a shame Michael Beck didn't get better roles after this film, although I've read that his casting in the absolute stinker "Xanadu" may have seriously derailed his career. Still, I think ...

Some may love or hate the minor transition tweaks done to this version but it still is the great movie I always remembered seeing many years ago. I enjoyed the directors interviews as well as the comments by the original cast members as they reflect on the making of the movie.
