I think the answer is really simple - it's a great movie that doesn't just appeal to American audiences. One can even ask, it's such a "New York" movie, how can anyone in Boise, Idaho enjoy it/relate to it?

It's simply just a great movie and definitely a product of its time and environment that appeals to many. There are Warriors fans all over the world and while the fandom may not be as big as say, Star Wars, Spider-Man or Superman, Warriors fans are indeed worldwide.

I'm in NYC and I have no problem with this site being a UK site. We're all Warriors brothers and sisters. Heck, I mentioned Superman before, many forget (or don't realize) that the original Superman The Movie from 1978, based on one of the greatest American heroes ever created and one of the greatest movies ever made IMO, was a British production.

Um, one can....such as me.  :lol: But I can't find anyone up here who likes it! It's just weird that you mentioned how someone here could like it. I don't think it matters where you are, and like Warchief said, 80% of this forum's population is from over here, and about 10% is from over there.

I'm doing my part to change that. I think my friends get a bit tired of constantly hearing me talk about the movie and the forum :D
hey so, how did you know about this movie? like i said before, i knew this movie through the game first...haha... really weird i know...

I found out about it on the net. Just by chance. Don't remember exactly where. I searched more info on the movie and came up with this forum.
Not long after that I bought the DVD and became a fan ever since.
