Product Description
A battle of gigantic proportions is looming in the neon underground of New York City. The armies of the night number 100,000; they outnumber the police 5 to 1; and tonight they're after the Warriors - a street gang blamed unfairly for a rival gang leader's death. This contemporary action-adventure story takes place at night, underground, in the sub-culture of gang warfare that rages from Coney Island to Manhattan to the Bronx. Members of the Warriors fight for their lives, seek to survive in the urban jungle and learn the meaning of loyalty. This intense and stylized film is a dazzling achievement for cinematographer Andrew Laszlo.

...I finally found this movie for the PSP! I looked everywhere, gamestop, best buy, target, circuit city, the only place I once found it and have found it online is FYE, but theres none anywhere near where I live and the only other time I found this umd was at an FYE on my washington dc trip, but it was rated R so i needed a parent which I did not have!!! Get this movie, either for dvd or umd, it has became my favorite movie of all time.
 Can you dig it? March 23, 2006

I'll rate this UMD 4 stars, as opposed to 5, since it contains just the movie without any special features, bonus material, etc. I'd give it a 4.5 rating if I could. But most UMDs I've seen are this way. It's not a bad thing.
However, this is the Director's Cut (so I'm assuming that means you get extra scenes, etc.). Without knowing the original version, I couldn't tell you what's different about it. This version of the movie is only about 95 minutes long.
The Warriors was filmed back in 1979 and tells the story of a street gang from Coney Island ("The Warriors") that spend a night fleeing from every other gang in the city. There are lots of memorable one-liners, gang costumes, and characters.
The film is based on a novel that told the story of Greek warriors trapped in Persia that had to fight their way back to their homeland. In the opening minutes of the movie, they explain this, and say: "this is a story about courage" (or something like that, to paraphrase).
I bought this movie because it was relatively well-reviewed (see Rotten Tomatoes). I can see why. It was sort of a cross between a Broadway play and an old-school fight movie. While you don't get the action-per-second and super duper special effects of a modern movie, it was a breath of fresh air to see a film like this. It sort of took me back in time.
You should pass on this film if you're expecting something modern and flashy. If you appreciate the Greek analogy, and you want to see a stylistic portrayal of late 70s urban heroes, then you'll want to give this one a try.
