The Warriors

“These are the armies of the night. They are 100,000 strong. They outnumber the cops five to one. They could run New York City. Tonight they're all out to get the Warriors.”

At the meeting, a rival leader kills Cyrus, but a Coney Island gang called the Warriors is wrongly blamed for Cyrus' death. Before you know it, the cops and every gangbanger in town is hot on the Warriors' trail.

The scene we cut

Come out to play

The most iconic taunt in cinema history, and it was made up on the day. Warriors, come out to play.

David Patrick Kelly improvised the whole bottle clinking taunt minutes before the take, basing the voice on a menacing neighbour from his childhood. It became the most famous line in the film.
