Come out and plaa-aaay!


C'mon, somebody knows where it's from, right?

1. Yep!

"The Warriors" 1979.

First time I saw that was on HBO when I was 12. Scared the crap out of me.

2. Sure do.

3. Great movie!

Did you know there's a remake in the works?

Sounds terrible, though.

7. Info on the remake

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0423512/

Warriors, The (2006)
Directed by Tony Scott

Writing credits
Terence Winter (screenplay)


Plot Outline: Framed for the killing of a top gang leader during a time of peace, The Warriors have to evade nearly every gang in town if they ever want to see their home turf again.


From what I've heard, it doesn't sound good. I read something about the makers of the remake going in a martial arts/Matrix direction. Bad idea. The Warriors could be remade, but they really have to capture the cheesiness, grittiness and simplicity of the original, weird gangs and all.

4. Yay!

None of my nononline friends knew - tsk tsk

5. I personally liked the guys in baseball uniforms

8. Same guy that played Jerry Horne on "Twin Peaks"

Really weird actor..."The Warriors" was one of my favorite teenage drive-in movies...I still have the soundtrack!!! And the DJ ("Hello Boppers!") was later on the Carmen Sandiego show!!!

Just filled with useless trivia today...must have been the avatars...

9. That's correct

Did you know the guy who played Ajax was recently a recurring character on "Sex and the City"?

And the female detective on the park bench is Mercedes Ruehl?

Here's a site with lots of useless trivia about that great movie:

13. Cool! Thanks for the link!!!

I'll check it out!!!

15. I found the site last weekend

By coincidence, one of the pay channels was showing the movie, and I remember enjoying it way back when. Hence, I did a little surfing.

14. Wow... Mercedes Ruehl?

I loved her in the Exorcist. :)

11. I remember when it first was first released

A lot of theaters wouldn't show it.

[quispquake]

12. Yeah, I think there were gang problems...

Of course, I saw it at a drive-in in Winslow Maine, so not much problem of that up here :)
