During the scene at the "96th Street Station" (really the interior of the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station) when the gang is first split up, several Warriors--I believe Swan, Snow, Ajax, and Cowboy--run into a small crowd of people.  There is a startled couple, a man and a woman, and I've always felt that the man bears a resemblance to Hill.  He is short and a little stocky and wears a cabbie cap just like the one Hill is seen wearing in several production photos.
I saw this too, it is about 45 mins into the film and the lady is in bright pinkish pants and the guy looks totally like walter hill and has a bag or purse or something.

That has to be his reflection. Look at the person really hard. Then compare it to the old photos of Walter Hill in the documentries on the Ultimate Director's Cut DVD.

On a related note, a while ago, one board member (I forget who) posted a very interesting screen cap of someone looking right into the camera at the film's beginning credits, from the inside of one of the passing speeding subway trains. He may have also been waving at the camera too, I forget but I think he was.

Can anyone shed some light on this good find, and take credit for it again? Maybe even still have the screen cap? :)

The reflection looks like cowboy to me, but this isn't consistance with him later being seen sleeping on the subway seats.  Unless there is a time lapse.

I also think its Cowboy in the reflection of the window...it really does look like him but without his hat...and Cowboy has a little bit more hair then Walter Hill...can someone post up a picture of what they say looks like Walter Hill in the subway?
