That tall bald Dutch guy was unique, his name was Erland Van Lidth de Jeude, also was wrestler and Singer, by the way, he passed away thirty years ago.
They used to play it on Encore 20 years ago all the time, but it was censored. They didn't bleap out the cuss words, just muted them when cuss words were spoken.
The head of the Baldies, "Terror" was an opera singer and MIT grad that started his own computer company. He was an alternate on an OLympic wrestling team (heavyweight, 1976), too. Check out the Wikipedia mini-bio:Mini Biography Born in the Netherlands, he came to the United States as a child in the late 1950s. Erland grew up in Orange, New Jersey; Ridgefield, Connecticut; and Mont Vernon, New Hampshire. He attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ,,,
F*** Yeahhh The Wanderers & The Warriors two great old school classics filmed the same year 1979 2 Yrs before I was born My Mom saw both of the movies opening day when she was in College when 🎥 😎 🇺🇸👍🏽!!!!!!!!
Now those were real street gangs with swagger and style, not like the idiotic looking clowns of today who claim to be gangsters. Even if they were thugs, those gangs back at least had camaraderie and code.
They're all losers, tbh. If you have the kind of mentality most gang-members have of 'needing to belong', you have a serious problem. But at least back then they kept their violence and trouble-making between themselves instead of driving down streets shooting people who have nothing to do with their bullshit.
Indeed they are all losers, but the so called gang bangers today are annoying scrubs who wear clownish attire and act like they don't have any sense whatsoever. I'm not in any way idealizing the street gangs of the past, but in my opinion they were the real deal.
Gushing GuG and most of them can't fight either. It's all about guns. I'd imagine most of them don't even know what a blade looks like now, let alone using their fists! The just want Glock 9's or whatever those are called...it's about killing someone stone dead now instead of just being the self-styled toughest kid in the neighborhood. The world has changed a lot
One of the most underrated films ever, this is a classic, gets unfairly compared to the warriors which was itself a great film but this in my opinion is the better film overall, a true coming of age drama which never gets the credit it deserves, yet everyone I know who's seen this gem loves it
@@MrGurke-we9oe underrated is a wrong word to use, underseen would be more apt, as I say everyone I know who's seen this has nothing but high praise for the film, it's just not seen by nearly enough people, especially this side of the pond
I don’t think the film was marketed extensively in 1979. It played for a few weeks in movie theaters and was forgotten until 1980 or 81 when HBO showed it and it developed a following
Wikipedia stated the film sold well in Theaters upon release. But I do remember as a kid in middle school around late 1979-early1980ish it got very popular on HBO
Excellent film. I actually preferred the Wanders to the Warriors which was a great film in its own right but I think the soundtrack to the Wanderers tipped the balance for me. And yes the Ducky Boys were a scary firm even though historical reseach discovered they were a bunch of kids who hung around the duck pond near The Bronx Botanical Gardens 210th St.
Steve Mcniel Although there are a few different opinions the truth seems to be because they hung around the 'duck ponds' up in the North Bronx. if you follow link in my previous post a couple of the original 'Ducky Boys' and girls give us their reason. Like most films the reality is a long way from the truth lol
The Warriors ruined this film,commercially as it came out 5 months later,fighting in the movie theatre stopped the screening of this...I think it's better...by far
Great film greatsoundtrack :) one of those cool style films I be watching this on an l.a. channel back in the early 80$ as a kid fell in love just great work and music wanderers forever ! ;)
After the youth club disco on Fridays, back to "Maisie's" for tea, toast and videos - The Wanderers, American Graffiti, The Warriors, First Blood and Predator - gold.
Tara was an MIT grad. Brilliant. Had a number of other roles. Died at an early age of natural causes. I can’t find the album soundtrack for sale or the DVD. Swallowed up. One of the best movies ever.
If I love a film as i love the wanderers I will usually watch it over and over I’ve seen it hundreds of times and the part that always gets me is when Richie sees the stranger girl Nina At the end of the film in the hippie beatnik coffee shop I felt so sad for him Because he didn’t know it but the times were changing And war was coming And greasers we’re gonna be irrelevant pretty soon And the hippies and Charlie mansons were comin for our children
RIP- Big Erland van Lidth (Terror)...He wasn't just some big dumbass; Erland was an Olympic caliber wrestler and went to MIT for computer programming. Also was a classically trained Opera singer!!! Died 30 years ago in Sept 1987
I saw this with John Bal,Paul Bal,Gerard and Big Tom Murray at the RKO on 181st n bway in Washington heights nyc 15 years old in 1979,those old sticky floors,Johnny C
THE MEMBERS OF THE GANG WERE NOT SKINHEADS, THEY WERE THE FORDHAM BALDIES, AN ITALIAN AMERICAN GANG, A GANG FROM THE EARLY SIXTIES, THEY DID LOOK LIKE SKINHEADS BUT THEY WERE NOT, BEST WISHES FROM ITALY
The Warriors ruined this film,commercially as it came out 5 months later,fighting in the movie theatre stopped the screening of this...I think it's better...by far
"DON'T FUCK WITH THE BALDIES" Watching this movie (on vhs) as a kid for the first time i was glued to the tv! I don't know how many times iv'e watched since, maybe it's the Music, the fight scene, the open racism; I prefer the Wanderers over the Warriors anyday.. I love the soundtrack to the movie... It's just a Cool movie..
Absolute amazing movie one of my favourites of all time! I’m only 26 but remember watching it as a kid my dad had this on VHS! Memories!

Both Movies are amazing. Don't care what anyone says 😁

''Don't fuck with the Wongs''
2016BMWi8 Yeh man! Loved the Wongs! They kicked ass in that fight against the Ducky boys!

One of my favourite films, I absolutely love it 😀 ✌️🤟✌️
That tall bald Dutch guy was unique, his name was Erland Van Lidth de Jeude, also was wrestler and Singer, by the way, he passed away thirty years ago.
He was also the opera singing light bulb dude in The Running Man too.
phillyphilhouse79 he was also grossburger in stir crazy
I thought it was King Kong Bundy when he was young.
@@victormalyar9200 He was bigger than King Kong Bundy.
@@RamsLakersDodgers Bundy was 110lbs heavier but Erland was 2 inches taller.
went to local cinema in 79 to watch this brillient movie fantastic sound track
One of my all time favourite films, had everything and a great sound track.
It was the damn Ducky Boys that scared the shit outta me as a kid!!
me too...very eerie.
They scared me and my dumass brother like hell,them was some rough fuckers
Der beste Rockerfilm, aller Zeiten ! 👍👍👍
Timeless classic!
Das ist und bleibt einer der besten Filme aller Zeiten wonderfullll

..Wanderers forever....Right Joey.....timeless...

Yes that's one film i can watch again and again it's absolutely brilliant
I was 13 when i watched this movie in 79..Still love it to this day
same
Awesome movie awesome soundtrack 👍
One of my favourite films, absolutely brilliant portrayal of youth culture from that era and based on real life gangs from that time.
How about that scene in the classroom, with all the epithets, haha.
i’m only 20 but absolutely love this movie and all the music from back then! 👌
Watched this several times over the past few years - one of my favourites
Terror would've made a perfect Kingpin
He was in the Running Man singing opera.
We need men like them today
Or bowling ball
Plus Terror was a p doe
Classic tune and classic film 😎
one of my favorite movies
They used to play it on Encore 20 years ago all the time, but it was censored. They didn't bleap out the cuss words, just muted them when cuss words were spoken.
I love it that the actor who played "The Terror" was actually an MIT graduate computer genius in real life.
RIP Linda Manz.

Just died in February

I'm 11 and went through HELL to watch it. Luckily I watched it. Bloody amazing!
Ancient comment
@@DrOrrThe scrolls have been written, we are here to read.
Classic film along with the warriors
There have been better gang fight films made, there have been better music films made, but surely this is the best mix of both?
No that's Quadrophenia, but this is one of the best openings along with Pulp Fiction in a close 2nd
One of the most underrated films ever, this is a classic, gets unfairly compared to the warriors which was itself a great film but this in my opinion is the better film overall, a true coming of age drama which never gets the credit it deserves, yet everyone I know who's seen this gem loves it
Its not underrated!
Its a long time before internet starts!!!

Ric Ace Frehley of KISS was an actual member of the Ducky Boys gang. That was HIS neighborhood!
Rainy Day why did they get called ducky boys?

stopped the screening of this...I think it's better...by far
The Wanderers...I Vagabondi....vedere una banda di italiani stile guerrieri della notte non ha prezzo XD ad ogni modo..gran bel film!
best film EVER x
A great movie - good characters, good story & bloody fantastic music.
Love this movie soooooooooo much :)
Best movie ever
The Wanderers are my favorite Movie
ITS A GREAT MOVIE😊😊😊
I want to be a Wanderer.😔
A decent adaptation of the greatest book on youth gangs ever written.
I wish i was brought up in this era in America :-/ i envy the much more simpler life style. I hate living in this nightmare atm 😓
Great film greatsoundtrack :) one of those cool style films I be watching this on an l.a. channel back in the early 80$ as a kid fell in love just great work and music wanderers forever ! ;)
I’ll alway be a fan of this legend.
What a film , a classic , give this a watch ❤
iLsham Wanderers forever
When I heard this as a 15 year old lad
I was hooked
1979 two grt films the wanderers and the warriors --- they don't make um like they use too
mark pagden I like The Wanderers just a little bit more than the Warriors. Only because The Wanderers had a better soundtrack. Both great films though
True
As a Brit, I would also have to add "Scum" and "Quadraphenia" to that year too ;) They sure don't make them like they used to.
This is better than the warriors.
45yr ago i thought wow i cud never b a baldy but 45 yr later i am as bald as them , Iconic film..Legends
I bet making that film was fun
Habe sie mir jetzt in blueray dazu gekauft!
After the youth club disco on Fridays, back to "Maisie's" for tea, toast and videos - The Wanderers, American Graffiti, The Warriors, First Blood and Predator - gold.
A great movie that has aged very well.
I remember this brilliant film 👍🏽
Ducky boys.....scariest gang ever committed to film
They give me the creeps after 40 years since this movie was made
Tara was an MIT grad. Brilliant. Had a number of other roles. Died at an early age of natural causes.
I can’t find the album soundtrack for sale or the DVD. Swallowed up.
One of the best movies ever.
One of my favorite movies!
I remember the big fella from the movie Stir Crazy with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor, epic scene! I recommend this movie.
From love in Russia 🇷🇺. Best film. 44
love this song
Love this film
If I love a film as i love the wanderers I will usually watch it over and over
I’ve seen it hundreds of times and the part that always gets me is when Richie sees the stranger girl Nina
At the end of the film in the hippie beatnik coffee shop
I felt so sad for him
Because he didn’t know it but the times were changing
And war was coming
And greasers we’re gonna be irrelevant pretty soon
And the hippies and Charlie mansons were comin for our children
loved this film
