It's either a stroke of brilliance or a sign that the coders of Rockstar Games have been living the crack scenes of Grand Theft Auto... I present to you, The Warriors - the video game.
I saw this movie on the late, late, late, late show one weekend in the mid 90's - amazing what ya find on TV when the house you're staying at doesn't have cable - and... well. It was so bad that you had to keep watching it. It was about a gang - The Warriors - from Coney Island that went up to the Bronx for a gang peace rally. They then get framed for a killing some high ranking peace guy by a rival gang and are then hunted for the rest of the night as their big hair/afro heads have to fight their way from the Bronx back home... Which should only be a 25 minute subway ride - that's what makes the whole thing so laughable, honestly.
What's more is that it was the follow up to Michael Beck's performance in Xanadu - both of which were supposed to "make" his career. I guess it made it, since I don't think he's made a movie since.
Time will tell if Rockstar Games has hit gold with a cult classic or hit the ground at mach 2...
