The Warriors

 

In 1979 director Walter Hill created a film about a gang called The Warriors, meant to be one of the cultest films of twentieth century. Based on Sol Yurick’s 1965 novel, the film tells the story of a New York City gang, whose members are trying to stay alive after a gang gathering that ends up to king’s tragic death.. The film features the best and most inspiring costumes among the gangs, all with cheesy names like The Hi -Hats, Hurricanes, Electric Eliminators, Satans Mothers, Gladiators and more. If you haven’t seen it yet, just don’t miss it.
