i watched the warriors for the first time last night. it was the director's cut, which may be the only version out on dvd- i'm not sure. it's about one gang with leather vests fighting its way through rival territories and gangs all the way from the bronx to coney island, all in a post-apocalyptic, or maybe during-apocalytic, future. all of the gangs have names and uniforms, so that's great even when the names and uniforms aren't that great. as i said before, the warriors wear leather vests, and they pick up a decent female lead along the way. all that, and there's a greek chorus-type dj on the radio. it takes place in one night, and mercedes ruehl has a small part. if memory of the director's intro is correct, the movie is based on a comic book, so there could be more to look into, which is always nice.

i think i've heard of it because there was a messenger race through new york based on the movie. i'm glad it has a good female lead.
