alexgataric played brilliantly by the late Roger Hill(Cyrus). Sadly he passed away 2/20/2014 at age 65 from a heart attack. So sad and so young. He probably still could’ve had a career.
The Death Wobble Channel Yeah, he's the only one with exaggerated delivery that doesn't come across as silly or corny. Point in case: the second in command of the Riffs, who's performance is almost laughably ridiculous.
I did this scene for a monologue in drama class, got the rest of the students to be the crowd and cheer when I raised my hands and quit when I lowered my hands; got an A+ for my final.
Big brother is watching just watch yourself "" - ministry- you have no idea what you are dealing with. Still you are amazing already. Ty for reminding others of this.
@@GizmoMaltese can you dig it??? It is a reference to something else. The black hole. The info is all around us in plain sight everyday in music in art even in the trees. The eye. The shape. Maybe I'm crazy seeing what I want to see. That's common
"Forty thousand counting affiliates, and twenty thousand more not organized but ready to fight." Cyrus would have had a promising career in Human Resources had he not been felled by an assassin.
Watching an interview with James Remar ( Ajax) and he stares that Hill"s speech was so powerful, so genuine that even though they all knew it was only a movie, there was a few seconds where you could almost believe what he was saying. Incredible.
It is such an impressive bit of writing so much power in the words that comes out of Cyrus mouth. I only have one question for you....... CAN YOU DIG IT ?
and it is very fitting for what is happening in 2021, with how they establishment is dividing us to hate each other, while they sit back in the shadows and enrich themselves.
Not really. Speech come super late I mean if you think about civilization as a whole the city these retards are in is only there because of people way back in history forming a military through alliances tribal alliances so all these unified gang crap speeches it's all been done before but these gangs are very ignorant of History obviously
Marion Cobretti it comes just in time ... you confuse society with tribes, they are not the same. Society has rules laws, control, police, and less of humanity; tribe civilization gives humans more freedom and morals, it makes human live like humans (like those gangs in the movie) This speech fits perfectly to the human now, against globalists, police and whoever wants an enslaved human
"We have been fighting for 10 square feet of ground. Our turf....our little piece of turf." The way he uses his facial expressions and gestures to show how disgusted he is with the waste of energy over nothing big is magic. Bravo.
@@aa-kb3zd Can't give a speech without voice and charisma. Some of the best speeches come from people that communicate good body language to emphasize their points.
Thokozile Xaba He did a great job in this small role. Although he wasn't originally cast. A real NYC gang leader was cast (don't ask me how I just know he was) but he never showed up for the shoot and was never heard from again. Roger was then given the part on the fly. Walter Hill loved his performance.
Gootothesecond Numbers are not Everything, so they should go up against a diciplined policeforce that have special Heavy weapons sections? Then we have the ordinary Citizens that probably would not be to happy living in a large city run by criminal gangs and finally we have the military.
Krister Andersson This movie took place in the future that the people back then thought it would. Their police force wouldn't have all of those things. No one could've forseen the police force's severe militarization in the real world.
Gootothesecond Perhaps but did not the police in New York had Heavy weapon sections in the late 70ies? And then we have as Bruce willis said in Another film: One light infantry division with helicopters, APCs and of course the M16.
Excuse you, but my uncle did plenty! He did Broadway and soap operas (Guiding Light I believe) besides having one of the most memorable monologues to ever be spoken. His talent was phenomenal considering his social anxiety. Unfortunately, he eventually needed more quiet energy and peace around him. The industry is anything but.
Hey Boppers, My name is Moïse Morancy. I’m the writer, director and producer of "The Warriors" proof of concept. I also star as Cleon in this. If you’re like me, someone who appreciates and loves “The Warriors,” you know in 2005, Rockstar created a video game based on the cult classic and gave a backstory to how the gang was formed. Myself and others believe this needs to be remade as a prequel. No one can hold a candle to the originators but I wanted to pay homage and give them their flowers. Because they weren’t good…they were “the best.” I hope you enjoy! 🙏🏿
The story was based on the Greek army that fled to the sea for safety, I think that gave it the added value and the special myth, it was brilliant, with out it would the story isn’t as exciting and the actors today are not as good as they used too, look at Cyrus for example, the actor played a minor short role but ihe did it in such a powerful manner that even the best actor today couldn’t achieve his level of acting so no, just like pulp fiction I think that the warriors should not have a sequel, you don’t make the Mona Lisa twice
Yes! I want a remake of the game so badly! Or even just a new game altogether. The Warriors is my favorite movie of all time. I appreciate your contribution to continuing the legacy of this film. I wish someone would pick up your show because that pilot was really good!!!
Yah people think cyrus's speech is amazing but he can just do what every other tyrannical person does after getting a group of people behind him..they think theyre oppressed by cops..well stop fucking around on them streets
@@sgt1terrence Sadly this isn't China. Here in the West our rulers care only about one thing.... Profit. The British did this for hundreds of years, starved people through man made famines, deprived the lower class of any substance in their lives and then once they steal to survive, or do something wrong their rulers would have an excuse to ship them off to an island. In the U.S it's the same thing, especially with African Americans. Rulers intricately engineer certain cultures through welfare, music, drugs and the education system brainwashing and training them to be criminals so they can have an excuse to incarcerate them and utilise them for penal labour and profit. The 13th amendment states clear as day that people who commit crime are allowed to be enslaved, it literally says it clear as day. Sadly we don't live in a utopia where everything is perfect, our rulers despise us and see us as nothing more than human checks they will exploit any way possible to profit from.
Just like the lyrics revealed from that 1989 musical hit, Cult of Personality, ""That leader speaks...that leader dies."" And there you have it, this recurring and very tragic theme repeated all throughout history. This above scene both brilliantly and sadly reveals as much.
Cyrus for president! I can see him giving his inaugural speech in front of the US Capitol building. "Can you count suckas?! Now look what we have here. We've got the North Koreans here on US soil standing next to the Iranians and the Russians. Nobody is nuking nobody. Now THAT is a miracle!"

Shona Williamson look up the story of Xenophon’s Anabasis, which happened around 2500 years ago and was the main influence of this story. In short, a group of 10,000 Mercenary Greeks (lead by Xenophon) were employed by the brother (called Cyrus) of the Persian King of Kings in an attempt to usurp him. The Greeks fought well, but Cyrus died during a battle, leaving the Greeks stranded in the middle of the Persian Empire, which consisted of numerous different factions who fought under the influence of the Persians. The story was of their fight against all the Persian controlled factions so they could return home to Greece.
I absolutely love this movie. It has drama and has love has peace, confusion, misunderstanding judgments. It’s like the whole world combined in a movie.
hippies were long gone by the late 70's. One can say they pretty much disappeared with the onset of the 70's. Punks had appeared and while hippies talked about peace and love punks talked about revolt and anarchy against the ruling classes and the government and hate as a tool for their goals.
What puzzles me, is here, Luther was able to get a kill shot with a .38 at that distance, but later on, he misses Swan at point-blank range with the same gun!
This is nothing more than a pro-One World Government speech. If you have the brains you'll know what I'm talking about. Our beautiful piece of turf is a nation's sovereignty. The coming together of gangs that ought to be killing themselves is the 'miracle', a metaphor for who the left sees our differences as the cause of all of the world's problems and that miracle is the religious language used to brainwash the masses into giving up God and replacing him with, in this case, power, state-power in the hands of the criminals. In other words, if we keep the general truce or unite under one gang, the one world government socialists, communists and liberals have been pushing for over 100 years, we could run the streets, the world, one borough at a time, one nation at a time. What Cyrus leaves out and what liberals always leave out is the fact that the government works in unison with the gangs to control the flow of drugs into the community and that the gangs work in unison with the police to control the levels of crime just like Wall street bankers and the military industrial complex funded and ran all of our wars. They will never admit to you that our elite funded the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, the Communist Revolution in China, the Socialist Revolution in Germany, the Communist Revolution in Cuba. They will never admit to you that those same people and organizations funded the Feminist Revolution and the Homosexual movement that ruined the American family. They will never admit that they are funded by the same people pushing for Pedophilia Normalization or that they were responsible for the destruction of American schools. It's called the Hegelian Dialectic or Problem, reaction, solution. This is how the government controlled by liberals operates. The same liberals who tell you we ought to come together and form a world government because our national identities and sovereignty are what's causing the disorder and mayhem are the same people who are causing that very chaos in the first place. Cyrus' murder is the false flag, the self-inflicted wound that keeps the narrative going that cops ARE the enemy when in fact they are partners. The fact that most of the gangs are multicultural and that the one all-white gang takes out the black gang leader that called for unification is exactly what the Left does when it needs to perpetuate the false accusations of racism and fascism. But they also funded Hitler. Luther is the self-hating white gunman hired to keep you hating white people. The city gangs think The Warriors shot Cyrus but we know better don't we? We know it was the EVIL whites that just love to spoil a good thing for those colored folks huh? This is nothing but liberal pro-multicultural propaganda. A call to unite under one banner against whitey.

You see kids, in the 80's gang culture was a lot different. Back then gangs CARED about racial diversity. To show you're colors you HAD to wear leather, chains, and spikes. And guns were considered to be for sissies-REAL men carried switch knives!

Seeing this particular scene ..in the movie theatre in Ft worth TX..loud speakers and screen...then , suddenly , Cyrus is shot!!!! That shocked me pretty bad ! I freaked ! From there on .mayhem and survival ! I think I checked on my popcorn because of the drama! When I left , I at least felt better because the " warriors made it home ...quite a shocking movie! The soundtrack was amazing and crisp and Mr Joe Walsh playing the riffs !
love the movie, one of my favorite part of the movie. It states a reality from back then and now. "The man" keeps us split up into groups fighting amongst ourselves while they keep the pot stirred up and doing what they do.
This was a very interesting movie. I saw it when it first came out. It really was in tune with the times. You have to have experienced the 70s to really get it, but a lot what it tried to say holds true today. This guy was a good orator. I don't want any violence or condone what Cyrus was saying, but he was a good speaker. Can you dig it?
It would never have worked. Even if every gang, plus affiliates pulled together & kept the truce, the National Guard would have been called in. Then ALL of NYC would have ended up looking like the South Bronx.
My cousin Patricia used to babysit his kids Nigel and Christopher. Roger was one a dem Geechee brothas very good-looking charming and funny. May he RIP.
Cochise: Cyrus was right, it's all out there all we have to do is figure out a way to go steal it. Snow: Now all we gotta do is figure out what's worth stealing. Deep shit :p
I watched The Warriors for the first time on REde Globo, Sunday .... 23:30 + - knowing that the next day I would wake up at 6 am to go to school. I had to do a great maneuver to watch it because the TV light would meet the central corridor of my parents' house as well as the noise and consequently wake them up. I got a lot of scoldings, but I managed. Sensational and unforgettable. Brazil Fan
I wasn't born when this came out, but I love this movie. It shows the power of sticking together, and how gangs weren't always negative. I'm mad they shot Cyrus though; there is always somebody that has to ruin a good thing.
How is he a dumbass? The biggest gang in America is the government. CIA, FBI, Police, etc have been flooding drugs in the community, killing unarmed citizens, & bending the law for decades. He’s right. This was a good thing. A good thing because gangs were united & not killing one another & working together for a purpose. You white people can’t stand that.
Blkbornseed your comment was all good till you put the blame on white people. This is not a race thing, every race was displayed in that scene, and there wasn't only "blacks or white" gangs, there were mixed ones too.

Morpheus needed to say "Can you dig it" at the end of his speech to Zion
Cyrus for president.
A savagely strong story. A breath taking movie. Love this upload. Best wishes.
Shona Williamson look up the story of Xenophon’s Anabasis, which happened around 2500 years ago and was the main influence of this story.
In short, a group of 10,000 Mercenary Greeks (lead by Xenophon) were employed by the brother (called Cyrus) of the Persian King of Kings in an attempt to usurp him. The Greeks fought well, but Cyrus died during a battle, leaving the Greeks stranded in the middle of the Persian Empire, which consisted of numerous different factions who fought under the influence of the Persians.
The story was of their fight against all the Persian controlled factions so they could return home to Greece.
Man, every time I watch this, I flashback to me and my cousin watching this in our grandparents' basement at 7 and 8 years old...wow.
I absolutely love this movie. It has drama and has love has peace, confusion, misunderstanding judgments. It’s like the whole world combined in a movie.
The cops lucky the gangs at the meet didn't unite to brawl em. They were outnumbered.
The gangs were too busy hauling ass when they heard the gunshot and seeing Cyrus' body flying down to the ground.
This wasn’t a speech for a movie, it was a speech for all of us struggling in the streets
Thanks for this ..a remarkable speech delivered by an ace actor .
This has to be one of the greatest speeches in all of cinema
Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross
How lol
Rules from this speech: 1) Have unity, 2) Have vision, 3) Think the unthinkable, and 4) Don't sweat the small stuff.
Thank you for having the whole speech! Again, one of my 3 favorite scenes. Not when Cyrus gets shot, but the hippie lingo, I dig it
hippies were long gone by the late 70's. One can say they pretty much disappeared with the onset of the 70's. Punks had appeared and while hippies talked about peace and love punks talked about revolt and anarchy against the ruling classes and the government and hate as a tool for their goals.
What puzzles me, is here, Luther was able to get a kill shot with a .38 at that distance, but later on, he misses Swan at point-blank range with the same gun!
He's exhausted that time right? And breathing messes with your aim
Also Swan slid to the side super fast
@@Defender78 And was able to perfectly throw his switchblade into Luther's arm, too.
The question is, how did the Rogues sneak a gun in despite a no-weapons rule implemented by Cyrus?
Same way they did it in the Godfather. Found out the location and hid the gun there ahead of time, probably earlier that day.
This is poetry. This movie handles classic greek mythos with great execution.
This is nothing more than a pro-One World Government speech. If you have the brains you'll know what I'm talking about. Our beautiful piece of turf is a nation's sovereignty. The coming together of gangs that ought to be killing themselves is the 'miracle', a metaphor for who the left sees our differences as the cause of all of the world's problems and that miracle is the religious language used to brainwash the masses into giving up God and replacing him with, in this case, power, state-power in the hands of the criminals. In other words, if we keep the general truce or unite under one gang, the one world government socialists, communists and liberals have been pushing for over 100 years, we could run the streets, the world, one borough at a time, one nation at a time. What Cyrus leaves out and what liberals always leave out is the fact that the government works in unison with the gangs to control the flow of drugs into the community and that the gangs work in unison with the police to control the levels of crime just like Wall street bankers and the military industrial complex funded and ran all of our wars. They will never admit to you that our elite funded the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, the Communist Revolution in China, the Socialist Revolution in Germany, the Communist Revolution in Cuba. They will never admit to you that those same people and organizations funded the Feminist Revolution and the Homosexual movement that ruined the American family. They will never admit that they are funded by the same people pushing for Pedophilia Normalization or that they were responsible for the destruction of American schools. It's called the Hegelian Dialectic or Problem, reaction, solution. This is how the government controlled by liberals operates. The same liberals who tell you we ought to come together and form a world government because our national identities and sovereignty are what's causing the disorder and mayhem are the same people who are causing that very chaos in the first place. Cyrus' murder is the false flag, the self-inflicted wound that keeps the narrative going that cops ARE the enemy when in fact they are partners. The fact that most of the gangs are multicultural and that the one all-white gang takes out the black gang leader that called for unification is exactly what the Left does when it needs to perpetuate the false accusations of racism and fascism. But they also funded Hitler. Luther is the self-hating white gunman hired to keep you hating white people. The city gangs think The Warriors shot Cyrus but we know better don't we? We know it was the EVIL whites that just love to spoil a good thing for those colored folks huh? This is nothing but liberal pro-multicultural propaganda. A call to unite under one banner against whitey.
Everyone thought Cyrus was crazy when he got that Communications degree.
What a great scene in cinematic history. "Nobody is wasting nobody. THAT is a miracle."
Greatest scene ever from the greatest movie ever
If not its DAMN close.
This movie is so iconic and needs more notoriety
Watched 100s of times still brilliant...this speech is brilliant and built up with the gangs travelling for the meet in the intro
classic. cyrus so genuine, charismatic, what speech, what a cult classic role he played.
"Go ahead Cyrus; we're with you!"
OMG!! This guy should have won an Oscar & had a coveted acting career!! Continue to RIHP Acting Emperor Roger Hill! Unforgettable performance & movie!! 💘 🎥 😍 ✌
You see kids, in the 80's gang culture was a lot different. Back then gangs CARED about racial diversity. To show you're colors you HAD to wear leather, chains, and spikes. And guns were considered to be for sissies-REAL men carried switch knives!
+Daniel Ryan
then gentrification drove everything underground...
fuck the 1%
+Daniel Ryan In the 1980s, guns were considered to be for sissies?
None of your comment is even remotely true.
+Maddolis Its called humor
Daniel Ryan Ugh I just reread your comment and yeah, it seems pretty obvious you were making a joke. Guess I wasn't thinking straight after a big night! My apologies.
+Maddolis eh, no biggie
THATS 20 THOUSAND HARDCORE VIEWERS
Wow this video got a lot of views since then lmao
Can you dig it?
weaselsdawg 40,000, counting people they know, and 20,000 more, not organized, but ready to watch.
60,000 UA-cam commenters.
Can you dig it?
Can you dig it?
CAAAAAN YOOOOUUUU DIG IIIIIIIIITTTTT?
Ready to fight!
And 20,000 more not watching but are getting recommended this video
That is the Badest "Can You Dig it" ever.
Booker T: Hold my beer, suckas!!
@@99mrpogi we're coming for you nigaah!
A guy who looks like a young Rock quoting Booker T. Love it
CANNNN YOUUUUUU DIGGGGGG ITTTTTTTT?!!!!! Iconic performance by Roger Hill (1949-2014)!!! 🌹#RIP
That is a great scene and good acting IMHO.
Cyrus was a visionary beyond his time...
2019 and I still feel this speech to the core!!!! 😤
The opening scene with the Ferris wheel at Coney Island is on my earliest memories for movies. My Grandad was a bit of a shifty character who used to pirate VHS movies. VHS.. Damn.. How times have changed...
Cyrus is so cool and he's only in this scene
Such a magnificent speech. I love it.
I know a LOT of beautiful women were asking Cyrus if HE can DIG IT.
This scene is literally iconic. Where it all began………….
RIP Roger 🙏
I say this every Christmas dinner.
we're getting there
The extras went harder in this movie than I have ever seen them go in any movie.
Take a lesson from Cyrus , this is what we need to do now..We need an uprising to take back control of our city's and town's
@Joshua Standing Cloud I don't understand your question..Can you rephrase that?
Just imagine if Cyrus was never killed and his vision was realized...
Imagine he used that to get into national politics...
In every revolution there is one man with a vision...
We need someone to deliver a speech like this in Baltimore right now
The Real
In Baltimore, new york. Hell, the whole country needs it. the also need to watch "rich man's trick" to eliminate any doubters.

And Again After The Riots
Seeing this particular scene ..in the movie theatre in Ft worth TX..loud speakers and screen...then , suddenly , Cyrus is shot!!!! That shocked me pretty bad ! I freaked ! From there on .mayhem and survival ! I think I checked on my popcorn because of the drama! When I left , I at least felt better because the " warriors made it home ...quite a shocking movie! The soundtrack was amazing and crisp and Mr Joe Walsh playing the riffs !
We was probably in the same audience 😅
love the movie, one of my favorite part of the movie. It states a reality from back then and now. "The man" keeps us split up into groups fighting amongst ourselves while they keep the pot stirred up and doing what they do.
The whole movie was about this speech.... everything else was filmed just to fill the run time...
Cyrus R. Vance Jr.
This was a very interesting movie. I saw it when it first came out. It really was in tune with the times. You have to have experienced the 70s to really get it, but a lot what it tried to say holds true today. This guy was a good orator. I don't want any violence or condone what Cyrus was saying, but he was a good speaker. Can you dig it?
It would never have worked. Even if every gang, plus affiliates pulled together & kept the truce, the National Guard would have been called in. Then ALL of NYC would have ended up looking like the South Bronx.
Cyrus for Prez!
Well,he would be more likable and charismatic than Trump or Clinton.
Never gets old
This movie was well ahead of its time. A brilliant piece of work that more than deserves its golden Cult status!! True art ❤
My cousin Patricia used to babysit his kids Nigel and Christopher. Roger was one a dem Geechee brothas very good-looking charming and funny. May he RIP.
CAN. YOU. DIG IT?
Ayy Lmao
Cochise: Cyrus was right, it's all out there all we have to do is figure out a way to go steal it.
Snow: Now all we gotta do is figure out what's worth stealing.
Deep shit :p
I cried laughing when they said that!!😂😂😂😂

i can dig it
I watched The Warriors for the first time on REde Globo, Sunday .... 23:30 + - knowing that the next day I would wake up at 6 am to go to school. I had to do a great maneuver to watch it because the TV light would meet the central corridor of my parents' house as well as the noise and consequently wake them up. I got a lot of scoldings, but I managed. Sensational and unforgettable. Brazil Fan
One charismatic dude.
My favourite movie
Always cracked me up how he says "delegates" and "affiliates". And of course love how he says "Can you dig ittttttttttt?"
I wasn't born when this came out, but I love this movie. It shows the power of sticking together, and how gangs weren't always negative. I'm mad they shot Cyrus though; there is always somebody that has to ruin a good thing.
what are you talking about dude?
How the hell is it a good thing that gangs would dominate a city?? You're a weirdo
How is he a dumbass? The biggest gang in America is the government. CIA, FBI, Police, etc have been flooding drugs in the community, killing unarmed citizens, & bending the law for decades. He’s right. This was a good thing. A good thing because gangs were united & not killing one another & working together for a purpose. You white people can’t stand that.
I was with you until you mentioned white people
Blkbornseed your comment was all good till you put the blame on white people. This is not a race thing, every race was displayed in that scene, and there wasn't only "blacks or white" gangs, there were mixed ones too.
The word sucker was the most disrespectful word to call somebody in the 70s and the 80s
classic scene thanks for posting great movie.
