The Warriors has been playing on the Independent Film channel the past few weeks and comes on again this Friday. I wish they would play that other gang movie called The Wanderers. I liked that movie better then the Warriors but haven't seen it on TV in years.

So was that all the Warriors to be had? 9 max? If they was more Warriors wouldn’t they have shown up to help their delegation that went to the all gang meeting?

1 Warrior = 10 ordinary gang members.

Chuck Norris studies The Warriors tactics.

You have him confused with the guy who shot Cyrus,
famous for the ‘come out and play yay’ line.
