    My favorite movie of all time. Never gets old. I get goosebumps everytime i watch the intro/ opening credits. I am at well over 100 viewings. Thanks for the video.

    It says something about Walter Hill that, as much as I love The Warriors, there's plenty of others by him I would put above it. That said, it's a great "comic book" fantasy and I am now finally going to seek out the original theatrical cut when I can. Keep it up, buddy.

    You just keep releasing vids about films I 💕💕💕. I played this film for my nephew when he was 9 (he's 22 now). He thought it was the coolest movie he's ever seen. Warriors come out to playay. ❤❤❤❤

    Oh boy. This was one of the first rentals in the vhs store. Here in Scandinavia, this era exploded in terms of how it impacted the kids in the early eighties.

      Thanks for watching. I was a video store kid too lol so many happy hours spent renting movies. I loved the fact it was all about the cover art on the VHS and most of the time we had no idea what we were in for! Great days. Thanks again.

      Thanks for watching that is an awesome list! Some of my favourites in there. I've been collecting Joe Dante's work for a while so Matinee will be on the way first most likely Street of Fire too. I also have a collaboration coming out soon with another channel called SquabbleBox on Repo Man so watch this space! Thanks again.

      Thanks for watching. Yeah it may not be the best way to describe them I did this one unscripted lol I guess I called them that as I figured they were a civilian addition to the army that Cyrus already had with The Riffs. Thanks again, I'm a big fan of your channel means a lot that you've taken the time to watch.

    I love how everything old is considered amazing. It's ok, it's definitely dated and not very well made, but if you only care about nostalgia then it's ok. I wouldn't say it was a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, but to each their own...

    Excellent piece of cinema but the first time I noticed Walter Hill was The Long Riders, that lead me towards Milius and Dillinger. In the 80's, apparently these directors were fascists.

      Thanks for watching. One of the first for me was Streets of Fire ❤‍🔥John Milius is a genius, Big Wednesday, Wind and the Lion and Farewell to the King are inspiring movies and great pieces of cinema, both incredible filmmakers. Thanks again.

      Yeah, it is really hard to watch if you grew up with original. And I know what you mean about the amateurish look, it almost looks like a drag and drop effect lol I was so glad I kept my old versions after buying the directors cut.
