More on THE WARRIORS (1979):
"The Warriors" (1979) is a gritty action thriller directed by Walter Hill, set in a dystopian version of New York City. The film follows the story of a Coney Island gang known as the Warriors, wrongly accused of killing a rival gang leader during a citywide meeting. With a target on their backs, the Warriors must fight their way back to their home turf, navigating through hostile gang territories and evading the police.
The movie portrays a nightlong odyssey filled with intense gang clashes, showcasing the raw, urban landscape of 1970s New York. As the Warriors journey across the city, they encounter vivid and colorful gangs, each with their own distinct style and attitude. Through their struggles and alliances formed along the way, the characters in the film confront themes of loyalty, survival, and the harsh realities of their environment.
"The Warriors" captivates audiences with its dynamic action sequences, memorable dialogue, and a pulsating soundtrack that enhances the tension and energy of the film. Despite initial controversy upon its release, the movie has since achieved cult status, celebrated for its iconic portrayal of gang culture and its stylish depiction of a city in turmoil. As the Warriors fight to prove their innocence and make it back to Coney Island, the audience is taken on a thrilling and unforgettable journey through the seedy underbelly of New York City.
More on MOIST FURY (2011; Partially taken from the SRS Cinema release summary):
It's "Death Wish" meets "Savage Streets" meets "Monty Python" in this over the top 80's-style, post-apocalyptic, girl-gang, time-travel revenge comedy by cult film guru CHRIS SEAVER! When their best fighter, Dewback, is killed, the Queafs must exact bloody vengeance! In the middle of their war, a lone nomad warrior comes into the picture & begrudgingly helps the girls on their quest for revenge. Set in a post-apocalyptic 1989 and filled to the brim with cheesy acting, bad production value, and horrible 80's metal, this throwback to exploitation of the past is sure to get your blood pumping and your funny bone moist with fury!
