Don't Do This Remake
Published August 20, 2003
Other highlights: The Rogues car. Luther and his buddies drive around in the biggest piece of shit I have ever seen. It has graffiti on it and barely looks like it could drive one block, yet it hauls 10 gang members all the way to Coney Island like a bunch of clowns at the circus.
The DJ. Played by Lynne Thigpen (who sadly passed away this past March), she gives constant updates as to The Warriors progress and offers words of encouragement to the other gangs chasing them. It's nice to know the local radio station is giving directions to the people who want to kill you.
Luther's creepy ode to get The Warriors out from under the boardwalk. Using 3 glass bottles on his fingers and that voice, he shrieks, "Warriorsssssssss..........(pling pling pling).....come out to...playyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! (pling pling pling)....Warriorssssssssss..........come out playyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeee!"
There is so much more to love about this classic. How the hell could anybody even think of remaking such a film?

Cool! The Warriors rocked in 79' and they'll rock again in 06'. You don't like it, to bad, they'll kick your ass anyway!
where is the reasons why the 'remake' shouldn't go ahead.
i pity the fool!
i thinkm it will be opk, but it wont be as gd as the original, how can they leave out the baseball furies, they should remake it exactly the same, but update it, with betta and more realistic fights, or an evemn betta idea, wot happend afta the warriors, or what happend leading up to it!!! Oh n btw The baseball Furies have the best NAME

Well said on the dangers of remaking movies that did great the first time around. Heaven Can Wait was another movie that should have never been remade. Chris Rock is no Warren Beatty. For that matter, Superman shouldn't be remade either.
