Warriors, come out and play-ay-ay! *clink clink*

OK, let's get down to it boppers!

What sane boy doesn't thrill to The Warriors?

When I was a boy, the video was impossible to get hold of 'cause all the brown boys I went to school with loved it so much. They indoctrinated me into the way of The Warriors along with martial arts movies (Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Sho Kosugi - Pray For Death was a particular favourite).

I am fairly certain that early exposure to The Warriors is partially responsible for my lifelong love of movie musicals. To me the fight scenes are right up there with Gene Kelly. The men's room fight is my particular favourite, as it combines true scuzz with real style.

Can you dig it?

I *still* haven't seen The Warriors.

I really gotta correct that, and soon.

You should be aware the the "ultimate director's cut" dvd has some brand new cheesy comic-book scene transitions that weren't originally there. It looks and sounds GREAT though so no big complaints - this ain't a Lucas.
