Walter Hill remembers the summer, the gangs, the outrage, and the fantasy. Thirty-five years after pushing its way into theaters, in 1979, where it promptly incited a string of vandalism and violent acts, Hill takes us back to his summer in the city. —The Warriors, 35 Years Later

The Warriors  press book [pdf] is a fascinating read since it contains information on the story, movie production, background information on the cast & characters, crew and the novel upon which the movie is based. There are also a few additional sheets featuring specific insights about the movie production including an interview with Film Bulletin about bringing the movie to life, information on how the cast stayed fit, and information on how the movie was shot.

Here, you can download the original script for educational purposes. This was last edited in 1978 and contains a lot of stuff that never made it into the movie. It is also important to note that this script does not take into account the departure of Thomas G. Waites (The Fox) during filming which is why he has such a big part in the script. Learn about the cool characters and iconic gangs or go behind-the-scenes and view production photographs and deleted scenes from the movie. Can you dig it?

Today I tore a bigass hole in my pants right before a meeting on the @paramountpics lot… then I proceeded to take another meeting before having dinner with new creative collaborators, among them, one of my favorite contemporary performers, Lakeith “all day I dream about swords” Stanfield, who is going to play a character I dreamt up on a second hand drawing board in a rent stabilized apartment in crown heights. #Repost @selwynhinds with @get_repost ・・・ Three the hard way — Ron Wimberly, creator of the graphic novel Prince Of Cats; some guy named Selwyn, screenwriter of the film adaptation; and that dope ass dude Lakeith S, star of our lil upcoming Prince Of Cats feature film #itscoming #princeofcats #trainisrolling #watchout #thishollywoodlife #doingthework (at Brentwood, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoBLe_mnZfG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ob9johnev41o
