holy fuckin shit that movie kicked so much ass

had a movie nite with my partner and his partners

Streets of Fire (10/10 most badass protag ever of all time i literally came when he stopped the bus)

The Warriors (10/10 start to finish hypefest i was exhausted by the end of)

like man that grimy empty city vibe with that campy gimmick gang thing they had goin on, how barely the warriors kept escaping by the skin of their teeth, slowly whittling down

man that movie fucked so hard

Play the game. It's just as good with added backstory.

Fantastic movie. The game is also amazing and expands on it quite a bit.

Great movie. Try the game out too. It meshes in so well with the movie and you basically play the movie in the second half. You get some background on how the Warriors formed and the events up to before the movie as well.

I really like The Warriors but the movie I really love that came out that same year was The Wanderers. It has an excellent soundtrack, and some things that make me chuckle here and there. I just love it. Its still a gritty, serious movie and has a multitude of gangs but I just think it hits a little more lighter tone to it that works better.

Side note I love Streets of fire but I had a thing for Diane Lane at that time. Between that and Rumblefish (amazing movie) she was so gorgeous then. After Eddie and the Cruisers and that I thought Michael Par was going to be the next household name but never was. I swear movies were just better back then. Extra side note. His sister that worked at the cafe was Debra Van Valkenburgh who got her big break in The Warriors.

Underrated flick. That football game fight scene has your heart pounding when it's over. Never really explained what the Ducky Boys were about though. Apparently based on a real gang called the Ducky Boys.

Great movie. Almost singlehandedly the inspiration for the beat 'em up genre. Renegade, Double Dragon, Final Fight, and Streets of Rage all borrow from it -- especially the part about how the final boss is the only one to have a gun.

Yep...it's an awesome movie. A true classic. You could never do it now without being arrested but a group of about 5-6 of us always dressed up as the Baseball Furies for Halloween back in the day.

I find you not liking Alien very odd but try the sequel Aliens and report on it. If you liked Alien Covenant then I think you will like Aliens.

It's funny because I've heard that in the novel the movie was based on, all the characters were black teens and it took place in contemporary times. It's like turning "Boyz N the Hood" into "Mad Max."
