Amazon.com:
The Warriors combines pure pulp storytelling and surprisingly poetic images into a thoroughly enjoyable cult classic. The plot is mythically pure (and inspired by a legendary bit of Greek history): When a charismatic gang leader is shot at a conclave in the Bronx meant to unite all the gangs in New York City, a troupe from Coney Island called the Warriors get blamed and have to fight all the way back to their own turf–which means an escalating series of battles with colorful and improbable gangs like the Baseball Furies, who wear baseball uniforms and KISS-inspired face make-up. Pop existentialism, performances that are somehow both wooden and overwrought, and zesty, kinetic filmmaking from director Walter Hill (Southern Comfort, 48 Hrs.) result in a delicious and unexpectedly resonant operatic cheesiness. The Ultimate Director’s Cut doesn’t radically alter the movie–some of the editing is tighter, the Greek legend has been added as an introduction–with one exception: in transitions, scenes begin and end as scenes from a comic book. While The Warriors always had a comic book flavor (and Hill, in an interview, says he deliberately pursued that sensibility), this device–similar to The Hulk–seems a bit overkill. But it’s a minor problem; the movie holds its own, even 26 years later. The dvd has no audio commentary, but there are four short documentaries (really, one documentary in four parts). These include excellent interviews with Hill, actors Michael Beck, James Remar, David Patrick Kelly, and Deborah Van Valkenburgh. The producers, the cinematographer, the costume designer, the stunt coordinator, and many others give lively and in-depth descriptions of how the movie came to be. One of these documentaries includes portions of a deleted scene that was used when The Warriors was screened on television; no other deleted scenes are included. –Bret Fetzer

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 3 stars out of 4
The Bottom Line:

Though the director’s cut detracts from the movie, The Warriors is an exciting and stylish urban western about a gang of Coney Island toughs who have to fight all night just to get home; a deserved cult classic, the film is a must-see for anyone who likes well-made action movies.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I love this movie, but here’s a warning regarding the “Ultimate Director’s Cut”…
The high-definition Blu-Ray cut of this movie has been changed to include a new intro, comic-book overlays/dissolves and comic-book like scene transitions, which quite frankly ruin the film for me. It takes you out of the film, giving it a fairy tale quality rather than a simple gritty gang war in the 70s. I don’t know if this is just the “Ultimate Director’s Cut” that has these changes, but I know for certain that the Blu-Ray release has them so I assume it affects all ultimate director’s cut releases. … Read More

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - I like the Original Cut Better - But this is good for a Fan or Collector
I would suggest finding the original theatrical release of this film if you want to relive the memories from the first time you saw the movie and especially if you want to share it with a friend who has never seen it before. I think the director’s cut is more for a true Warriors Fan-like myself. The original version was more suspenseful and in my opinion the tempo is more of a thrill ride. I do like the Director’s cut with the added Comic Book cut away scenes but it just didn’t seem to move as well as the … Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Warriors aint a movie its a lifestyle
The Warriors is a cult classic,with many legendary quotes and lines and the fights made the whole movie what it is

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Movie
My husband had talked about this movie for years with a quote “Warriors… come out and play yaaaa”. Finally got it for him for his birthday this year. He was thrilled as he had looked for it in local rental shops and department stores with no luck.

It is a somewhat dark movie about a gang with some great background 80’s music. Our 17 year old daughter walked through the room but got hooked and ended up watching the entire movie as well. I’m sure it will be played again here. Not, my cup of tea, … Read More
