    I can't imagine how they think they are going to remake this. Oh well, I guess this happens to every generations classics.

        Very nice. Link to a speakeasy post. Now Robin Finderson is going to think that we're having some great Trunk or Treat discussion in our top secret gang.

        But on the topic, have I said that before? Maybe last Halloween.

          I don't know what trunk or treat is. Must be a new thing.

          Halloween I turn off all the lights, hide in the basement and hope no one gets pissed and eggs my house.

          I do send a candy bar to the grandkids.

              Word is that there will be no gang like the Furies. Or the Rogues. Or the High Hats. Or the Moon Runners.

              It will be a complete and utter failure and those who are remaking it should never be allowed to make another movie ever again.

                I look at it now and laugh....most of those gang members look like they weigh around 140 pounds. And the thought of 10 guys running through Manhattan dressed as clowns in baseball uniforms is pretty hilarious.
                I had never heard of that movie until this clip. That was a pretty awesome clip. Is the rest of the movie as cool as this?
                Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                  I haven't seen the movie since I was about 7 years old, but yes, the rest of the movie is that cool.

                  The best part is the singing at the end. Nothing creates a great beat like finger pop bottles. The man has a gift.

                    the entire movie is awesome. a cult classic.

                    The premise: NYC gangs head up to the Bronx for a 5-borough meeting of all gangs. A truce is declared and there is to be no fighting during the secret meeting. Thousands of gang members descend on the Bronx.

                    In the middle of the meeting, Cyrus, the head of NYC's biggest gang, and also the MC for the night, is shot and killed.

                    The Warriors are mistakenly blamed for the murder. A bounty is put out on The Warriors. And they have to fight their way back all night through various parts of NYC to their home turf....Coney Island.

                    CAN YOU DIG IT!!!!!!!!

                    ps if you recall Shaq's "can you dig it" chants at lakers championship rallies....he gets it from The Warriors.

                    Go rent this movie and watch it.

                      Thanks, DDD, for the reminder about The Warriors. On the next CUF bike ride we should dress up as the Cycling Furies. Lycra and evil clown make up; half-Lance Armstrong, half-Gene Simmons. Beautiful.

                      BTW, here's a website that talks about all of the gangs in the movie. I kind of liked the Lizzies, the Boppers and the Hi-Hats.

                        Yes, the entire movie is this cool. Definitely a cult classic.

                            I am not big on 80's cult classic movies. But after watching the 5 minute clip of The Furies, I am hooked. I will be watching this movie.
