The armies of the night number 100,000; they outnumber the police 5 to 1; and tonight they're after the Warriors - a street gang blamed unfairly for a rival gang leader's death. This contemporary action-adventure story takes place at night, underground, in the sub-culture of gang warfare that rages from Coney Island to Manhattan to the Bronx. Members of the Warriors fight for their lives, seek to survive in the urban jungle and learn the meaning of loyalty. This intense and stylized film is a dazzling achievement for cinematographer Andrew Laszlo. | | Sales Rank: | 7,839th |

If I'd only known this was one of those "updated" movies... by D. Lee (Somerville MA)  1 Stars
November 25, 2009
I'd have never bought it. If you are a Warriors fan DO NOT BUY THIS VERSION. I assumed that by "Ultimate Director's Cut" They meant that they maybe cleaned up some scenes, added scenes, added some bonus features, anything but what I got. The movie begins with an apology from the Director which anticipates some of the abhorrent changes they made to the movie. This version is a total disgrace, violates much of the enchanting qualities of the film, and uses Comic Sans font none the less for the absolutely disruptive comic book scenes... Unwatchable in my opinion.

Pretty crappy movie by R. Barnes (somewhere in MA) 1 Stars
July 18, 2009
I should have given it a 1.5 stars instead of 1, but Amazon doesn't allow half stars. Anyhow, I just bought this DVD (in the original theatrical release version) based on some fairly positive reviews. I must say I got burned. Major issues: bad screen play and the movie is padded (you could cut the running time in half without losing anything).
I am guess that the guy who wrote the screen play learned about NYC gangs by watching West Side Story. He then added in some dialogue borrowed from some hippie films. Right there, you know this is going to be cheesy. Sadly, it was not cheesy good, it was cheesy bad.
The reason it was cheesy bad is because 1/2 of the film is footage of a bunch of Fame extras walking around NYC. So while I appreciate the "so bad it's good" thing, any humor provided by the goofy dialogue was lost in the ensuing walking scenes.
In the plus column: zombie baseball players, black hockey stick wielding ninjas, & sinister use of 3 empty pop bottles.
