Does anyone know how far Coney Island is from The Bronx? In the movie Vermin says "Fuckin Coney Island most be 50 -100 miles from here!" That seems to be a very genral guess with 50 miles in the leway. Well on the trailer the figure is 27 miles.

It's about 10 going by another post.

The more you say on film the better it sounds for the movie!

It just seems like 100 miles when you gotta bop your way from the Bronx to Coney.

27 miles is accurate.

Putting in Mapquest driving directions from the original Nathan's on Surf Avenue in "C.I., the big Coney" to Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx (where the big meeting is supposed to take place) tells us it is a 41 minute drive (with traffic this is highly unrealistic) and 29.60 miles. It's a big park so I picked the south side as a destination. Going deeper into the park would put it at 30+ miles.

I suppose "Fuckin Coney Island must be 50-100 miles from here" does sound a lot more dramatic than " Fuckin Coney Island must be 27 miles from here.... wanna get a cab?"

I always thought Vermin's line of "50-100 miles" was pretty funny. Between that and Rembrandt's "I found Coney Island!" as if he didn't know where it actually was on a subway map, it makes one think The Warriors have been pretty sheltered boys who never stepped out of a ten-block radius lol.

Whoa, nobody was posting here about 7 years... It's time for reviving.

When I heard Vermin's line "50 to 100 miles away" for the 1st time I was like... hey, this "trip" is gonna be looong. Anyway, it's nice to see opinions about that.

Great topic!
