See, that's why having you old farts around is so rewarding (even for a nearly old fart like me). I haven't thought about "The Warriors" since I watched it on HBO back in junior high.
In addition to being just plain goofy (remember the way the leader of the Riffs talked? "I want all of these War-ri-ors"? remember the Furies, a gang that donned full baseball uniforms and face makeup to go out and fight?), the initial premise of the movie was a rip-off of a science fiction story.
Nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide......
