The Warriors Movie Site Forum

I watched the Warriors again today and I think the Riffs fight dishonorably againts Cleon they didn't give him a chance to defend himself . They all came at him at once if they came in one at a time Cleon would have taken out some of them, but their were to many and soon he would be exhausted let me know what you think .

i think if the riffs let him defend himself the riffs wouldn't have stand a chance against him.

They believed he just murdered their leader in cold blood.  I don't think they would patiently wait in line to get a crack at him.  They were on him like a wolf pack.

do you honestly think they gave a crud what was honourable or not?their leader had just been shot,they were out for blood at all costs

i just wish the script woulda let Cleon take out like 2 more ppl,it woulda made him look even stronger

Why would they care about honour? They may be very disciplined, and know martial arts, but they're still delinquents, like every other gang. Also in all that confusion, with Cyrus being shot and hundreds of cops swarming all over tha place, they would be looking to sort it out straight away, and killing thir leaders 'killer' would give them some sort of retribution and a feeling that they had done what they needed.

But the Warriors have shown some sense of honor, Swan could have killed Luther when he stabed him with a knife, and he and Snow could have left Ajax and Cowboy, also during the Punks fight the Warriors are watching each others backs.

swan is probably the most mature warrior AND gangsta
he knows that killing luther wont give nothing
and he didnt left anybody cause he was warchief

We all know Cleon was a hard ass and sure it would have been nice to see him fight a little bit more then a few elbows in the face!
However If I was a Riff I'd want that big man down, fast...he looks hardcore, I don't want a load of my men gettin' messed up, let alone my leader murdered - right?

Yeah I geuss your right back2coney I just wish we coulda seen Cleon fight a little more

Indeed.  But isn't this an example of part of  the genius of this film .... Leaving us wanting a little more?

Like Vermin say, they were out for revenge.  Gangs don't have some code of chivilary about kicking asss where it has to be a fair fight either.

wel one riff karate kicks cleon b4 evry1 jumps in neway so its nt lyk he wud av beat dem all one by one!
