You are soooo right S.H.M. I've read most of the script and it is very good. It is just like the movie but has extra content. The book by sol Yurick wasn't very good at all in my opinion. I couldn't even read it all the way through and I can go through an interesting 275 -300 page book in a day's time, but it was horrible in my opinion and nothing like the movie.
The script is "killer" and well worth the read. You find out some additional info about the Warriors and the script is also written so that Fox and Mercy become the "couple" not Swan and Mercy. Thanks for posting the script S.H.M. It must be nice to have an autographed copy.
