Kurt Thomas wipes out like 100 pitchfork and scythe-wielding locals in a square that just *happens* to have a number of structures that perfectly mimic gymnastics apparatuses. Awesome.

If you've seen Death Trance, this scene is up there.

Dude wtf The Warriors was cheesy as hell. Maybe it wasn't supposed to be, and wasn't at the time, but it's pretty damn cheesy now.

"Saturday Night Fever" covers issues of social mobility and class struggle. Travolta was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor, and the Writers Guild of America nominated the screenplay for best drama.

I saw it about 8 years ago along with Pulp Fiction as part of a Travolta double feature. The audience could not get past the costumes and hair, and laughed at every on-screen debut of a new wide lapel shirt open to mid-chest. Even when completely inappropriate, the pure reactionary laughter broke out.

I have the feeling that you are reacting the same way to the outdated style aspects of "The Warriors."

If it isn't the fashion, I'm interested to know what you find so cheesy about "The Warriors."

If it is just the fashion, that's unfortunate, because I'm sure there are other good movies from the 70s that you might also have trouble with because of that ("Rollerball" and "North Dallas 40" quickly come to mind).
