The Warriors
built 349 days ago
The Warriors are masters of sword-fighting and combat. They share their origins with the Knights of Mercinae; they were formed recently in the 8th Century by Conan of Parrius. This remarkable gentlelman burned with desire to build his own order in Parrius, having served a long term as guildmaster of the Knights. By his toil and worth efforts the guild was built - all but brick-by-brick by his own hands. Years later the Warriors grow from strength to strength. Many of the heroes and Barons of Parrius have been trained their halls.

The Warriors Motorcycle Club of Los Angeles, Inc., established in 1969, is a California nonprofit corporation formed for the primary purpose of promoting safe and enjoyable motorcycling for its members. It is limited to 16 members, at least 2/3 of whom must own and ride a motorcycle. The elected officers (Board of Directors) are: President, Road Captain, Secretary, Treasurer, and Quartermaster. The club has Regular Members, Brave Members (non-motorcyclists), Associate Members, Emeritus Members, and Honorary Members. Regular meetings are held monthly, and various events open to the public are sponsored by the club each year. Members must wear official club uniforms at events, as recommended by the Road Captain.

The Warriors have a Playoff Priority List set up online, which guarantees Warrior fans a seat at The Oracle Arena if they make it to the Western Conference Playoffs (most likely a date with the Dallas Mavericks). But it's not about ticket sales which will no doubt be there. It's about making these 12 things a priority on the hardwood:

The Warriors combines pure pulp storytelling and surprisingly poetic images into a thoroughly enjoyable cult classic. The plot is mythically pure (and inspired by a legendary bit of Greek history): When a charismatic gang leader is shot at a conclave in the Bronx meant to unite all the gangs in New York City, a troupe from Coney Island called the Warriors get blamed and have to fight all the way back to their own turf--which means an escalating series of battles with colorful and improbable gangs like the Baseball Furies, who wear baseball uniforms and KISS-inspired face make-up. Pop existentialism, performances that are somehow both wooden and overwrought, and zesty, kinetic filmmaking from director Walter Hill (Southern Comfort, 48 Hrs.) result in a delicious and unexpectedly resonant operatic cheesiness. The Ultimate Director's Cut doesn't radically alter the movie--some of the editing is tighter, the Greek legend has been added as an introduction--with one exception: in transitions, scenes begin and end as scenes from a comic book. While The Warriors always had a comic book flavor (and Hill, in an interview, says he deliberately pursued that sensibility), this device--similar to The Hulk--seems a bit overkill. But it's a minor problem; the movie holds its own, even 26 years later.

The Warriors won their only other championship as a Philadelphia team in the 1955-56 season, defeating the Fort Wayne Pistons four games to one. The stars of this era in the team's history were Paul Arizin and Neil Johnston. In 1959, the team signed draft pick Wilt Chamberlain. Known as "Wilt the Stilt," Chamberlain quickly began shattering NBA scoring records and changed the style of play forever. On March 2, 1962, in a Warrior "home" game played in Hershey, Pennsylvania, Chamberlain scored 100 points against the Knickerbockers, a single-game record.

The Warriors is certainly not a bad film, but it’s far from a good one either. The real problem is it never evolves into anything that might appeal to any particular audience. It’s campy, but not enough to really be funny. It’s gritty, but then you get flaming purple haired gangs and you just end up scratching your own, hopefully NOT purple head. The participants have wild delusions of grandeur, believing the film has had a major impact on the pop culture. That’s strange, because I’m really into films and had never heard of it before.
