Tais83nKnuckles 08/23/21 9:04:22 PM #1:	I finally watched this movie after getting recommendations from people on the old board. Maybe they are still around. I hereby rate it according to the following criteria: Writing: 10/10, very early on I was struck by it and you'll see things you're not gonna see in films today. Some of the different gangs have weird gimmicks but it's not over-the-top (not that there would be anything wrong with that). Wikipedia says pretty much all the critics viewed it negatively at the time, but President Reagan was a fan. This is one time I think execs had it right, because I'm watching the new cut where they did "original vision" and added an intro for the Greek fable and comic book transitions throughout the film, which I found unnecessary. They don't fit into what you'd see from the time period either - more modern style transitions that should've looked early 80s'ish - so I thought the comic stuff wasn't needed and jarring. But if we just take the original, I stick with 10. Sound: you don't get this (movie came out too early for the timelines to match), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5nnnbS6DAA but you get this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljSuROOUxg8 and that's ok. 8/10. Relevance: 9/10. In this decayed, decrepit shell of a city - a pale, pathetic shadow of what it once was - the different gangs and cliques roam the streets and are all out to get the warriors, while The Man is out to hassle them as well. A talented, charismatic figure rises up and aims to stop the infighting, and he's very close to accomplishing his goal, claiming he will unite everyone against The Man once and for all...only to get wasted, with the villain saying later that he had no real reason to do it and just went after him for fun. The warriors are chased down throughout the underground, followed and obsessed over by the entire city and accused of many things which they didn't do. The warriors are on the run for now but some of them want to stand up and fight back, so they get into scrapes and when they fight they always end up on top. When it's not one of the other cliques getting up in their face, coming after their turf or fighting over any other personal grudge they hold with the warriors, the clearly unwell bad guy is going after them and projecting all his crimes and insecurities onto them. The villain tracks the warriors down, peaking at that famous scene where he shouts at them to COME OUT AND PLAYYY, but the final showdown that follows is very anticlimactic. When the warriors are in their own environment and the truth comes out, the bad guy gets owned real quick and is revealed as a sniveling, pathetic little crybaby who is easily dunked on and done away with once he doesn't have his protection behind him. "You Warriors are good. Real good." "The best." But I take 1 point off because I don't approve of criminality or illegal activities. Overall I will give it a 9/10. If you've seen this cult classic film, what did you think? <cite>Tais83nKnuckles posted [p:957376294] in TaiIs82 Re...
