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

The Warriors wins July 7, 2008
This movie is made of the win. I wish that there was more special features or that the movie was extended or something, but overall this movie is a very interesting view on a dystopian future where gangs have style, and "waste" people instead of killing them... most of the time. If you've ever seen A Clockwork Orange it's kinda like that, but more about action than psychological, and not really as intelligent, but that's okay.
The Warriors DVD Review June 29, 2008

This DVD came to me in very good cosmetic condition. It runs perfectly and has yet to skip once.
 horrible dvd release of my favorite movie. June 16, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
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 why you should never re-touch a classic. LAME.
