Sure he did. Don’t know why you’re always so hung up on declaring things that suck good but The Warriors sucks. Sorry dude, I suffered through it once, it was awful, I will never watch it again, my wife who got me to watch it admitted it wasn’t nearly as good as she remembered. You can blather all the silliness you want about abstract blah blah blah and it doesn’t change the simple fact that there is not one single frame of that movie worth the celluloid used to make it.
So I guess you ain’t a big fan of “Streets of Fire” either. ;)
Ever see Hill’s The Driver? It’s even MORE abstract. But It’s not really an outre opinion. The Warriors has a huge following.
