Editorial Reviews:

A battle of gigantic proportions is looming in the neon underground of New York City. 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.

User Comments about the The Warriors (The Ultimate Director's Cut)

The Bottom Line:Though the director's cut detracts from the movie, The Warriors is an exciting and stylish urban western about a gang of Coney Island toughs who have to fight all night just to get home; a deserved cult classic, the film is a must-see for anyone who likes well-made action movies.

I don't know if this is just the "Ultimate Director's Cut" that has these changes, but I know for certain that the Blu-Ray release has them so I assume it affects all ultimate director's cut releases. The high-definition Blu-Ray cut of this movie has been changed to include a new intro, comic-book overlays/dissolves and comic-book like scene transitions, which quite frankly ruin the film for me. It takes you out of the film, giving it a fairy tale quality rather than a simple gritty gang war in the 70s. If you want to enjoy this classic film from the 1970s, you're better off with the 2001 release DVD.

I do like the Director's cut with the added Comic Book cut away scenes but it just didn't seem to move as well as the original. I think the director's cut is more for a true Warriors Fan-like myself. I would suggest finding the original theatrical release of this film if you want to relive the memories from the first time you saw the movie and especially if you want to share it with a friend who has never seen it before. The original version was more suspenseful and in my opinion the tempo is more of a thrill ride. Still an awesome soundtrack and characters etc.

The Warriors is a cult classic,with many legendary quotes and lines and the fights made the whole movie what it is

Our 17 year old daughter walked through the room but got hooked and ended up watching the entire movie as well. I'm sure it will be played again here. My husband had talked about this movie for years with a quote "Warriors. come out and play yaaaa".

Not, my cup of tea, but if you're into City Life, action packed movie, with a little romance tossed in, and some good music, you'll love this. (I, on the other hand, was impressed with Amazon. He was thrilled as he had looked for it in local rental shops and department stores with no luck. Finally got it for him for his birthday this year.

It is a somewhat dark movie about a gang with some great background 80's music. No hassle with purchase and it shipped super fast).
