'Extra Scene #6 - "The Punks" '

[diggin-it]

Altho the film is already a 'Masterpiece', after viewing 'extra scene #6 : "The Punks"', I truly wish this scene would have been included in the original.

Why?
In this scene, Swan shows a softer side towards Ajax and it is a brotherly concern which must have been ongoing long before they went to "the big meeting".
I have always wondered when Swan was told about everyone thinking that they were the ones who shot Cyrus. (otherwise, it could be "business as usual", concerning the truce being "off") [[they are used to the truce being "off", but that the Riffs and everyone else is looking specifically for The Warriors, is something quite different.]]

I also like very much that Cowboy, and especially Snow have more lines. Rembrandt and Cochise also get more lines and it shows how valuable each member is to each other, a very good re-strengthening of the brotherhood, especially before such an intense fight.

In addition to all of this, we get to witness that The Warriors see/know that there are more Punks than three.

It's only 1:08 in it's running time, but, wow, what a wonderful minute it is!!!

On the subject of extra scenes, I am very glad that the first two about Cleon were NOT included.

Those paint Cleon in a very negative light, not a leader these guys would enjoy following.

I would have been glad that he gets wasted at the meeting to remove the tyranny from amongst them.

In the original film, he is painted in a light where the guys admire him and he values his brothers.
They would follow him to the death. The original gives you a sense that The Warriors are a good family and are used to looking out for each other and care about each other.
The "you were chosen" speech takes away from that.


On the subject of Cleon, if he leads these guys, how awesome he must have been!!!

Read the rules, but I guess now it's too late.
