Well people I have a good quality rip of the film on DVD, I can knock up a few copies and send them out. I don't mind doing 4 or 5 copies but no more than that, so as you were the first guys to show interest then let me know if you want one, feel free to pass the movie on to those interested.

Like I say, please don't expect anything as exciting as 'The Warriors', it's just a documentary not an action flick, but if your interested in gang culture and the Bronx/NYC then it is a really interesting movie that show's what life in a gang back then was like. In fact some of it is quite surprising.

Riff, guys, yesterday I forgot to tell you what I think about The Movie. Well, you have somehow and anyway to watch it!!!
I did... and... believe me... you have to watch it.

Riff, did you then check those Topics? Have you ever seen that Documentary about The Sex Boys and The Homicides? That One Filmed by a German Director?

Anyway guys... HERE IT IS...
80 Blocks from Tiffany's                               
Hey Swan, yeah I read a couple of threads, got to read the rest when I get the time.

I read about that german director movie, that sounds like it is worth watching, I don't suppose that has appeared on youtube yet?

Riff,
thanks for the '80 Blocks' documentary you were kind enough to send. Really glad i have it now great to see about 'gang life' in NYC same Era as 'The Warriors' (1979) and a look at the real-life goings of these street gangs.
It really had the 70s look, which ive been missing all these years.
almost as good a documentary as "An American Family The Louds" which really shows you life in the 70s..

thanks again Riff,
hope you received my fan film of the 'Warriors then and Now'

Don't think there is an official DVD, it seems to be a rare film and hard to get, I have seen the video go for crazy money.

Hey High Hat,

I got the DVD you sent and have watched it a couple of times, really enjoyed it, great stuff.

I wish they did those conventions over here in the UK.

Thanks for that.
