"Be Lookin Good Boppers"


Not a highly realistic or dramatic portrait of the New York gangs, but a very exiting roller coaster-ride of action, raw settings and imaginative characters. The film's opening sequence is classic and downright brilliant with NY's most vicious gangs gathering in the park. The self-acclaimed leader – Cyrus – encourages the gangs to work together and take over power. When he's suddenly killed from within the crowd, the Coney Island "Warriors" are immediately pointed as the betrayers. What follows is a fascinatingly shot chase through the dark and foggy NY ghettos. Very scary, them running through different enemy's hoods and having to look over their shoulder every other minute! Eventually "The Warriors" encounter angry-filled gangs and fight them in typical, rough backtown settings like the Subway or the notorious Bronx. James Remar is terrific as the overactive Warrior Ajax and he receives good feedback from the rest of the cast.Its fucked up what happens to Ajax, with the whole park bench scene.
"The Baseball Furies", one of the gangs called upon to get "The Warriors", were the fucking coolest and the creepiest by far; when The Warriors bump heads with them at the park on their way to Grand Central, Ajax really gives it to them! If you dig "Class Of 1984" you'll love this movie!
