A blast to a surreal 70’s past, this movie follows the ‘Warriors’ gang – framed for killing a multi-gang ringleader. A very simple plot to follow, lots of action, outlandish wardrobe, lots of 70’s speak, free-lovin’ women and nostalgic musical diversions which when all put together made it very fun to watch.
Not a bad job for this very young cast. Notable is Michael Beck as Swan (the 2nd in command who takes over the gang) and Deborah Van Valkenburgh as Mercy – a prostitute from Tremont taken in by the Warriors during their journey home.
At times was comical to watch: the violence was paltry compared to what we hear daily on the news today, and the over-the-top 70’s wardrobes and language made it hard to focus and think of what was going on as believable.
