Before gang warfare was all about record sales, it was about dressing up in funny outfits and rolling through the streets of New York protecting your turf. To help remind us of this very important point, The Warriors returns with an ultimate edition that adds cool new comic book paneling to the final cut and four new featurettes after the movie. "The Beginning" provides an eye-opening history lesson on the movie's origins, with the producers and writers dusting off old stories on the ancient mercenary Greek army that inspired the Warriors. "Battleground" absorbs all the blows, from the unscripted scuffles that broke out during night filming in New York City to the staged battles and riots that made up the majority of shooting. "The Way Home" polls the cast and crew on their favorite rival gangs, beatdowns, and lines in the flick, while "The Phenomenon" traces the movie's evolution from a word-of-mouth cult hit to a quote-laden classic. We can dig it.
