Editorial Reviews

What do you get if you cross "Animal House" with "Death Wish"? "Young Warriors"--a unique combination of fraternity hijinks, high-speed action, wildly imaginative animation, and hard-drivin' rock! Kevin (James Van Patten), Scott (Tom Reilly), Stan (Ed De Stefane), and Fred (Mike Norris) are your typical fun-loving frat brothers whose most violent acts to date have been popping beer cans and staging panty raids. Things change drastically, however, when Kevin's teenaged sister is brutally murdered by a street gang. College kids by day--by night they are ruthless vigilantes--out for revenge. Kevin's father, a police lieutenant played by Ernest Borgnine, and his partner, Richard "Shaft" Roundtree, are trailing the killers. But they're not moving fast enough for Kevin and his friends. Lynda Day George, as Kevin's mom, can't convince him to leave the investigation to the pros, nor can his college sociology professor (comedian Dick Shawn in a rare dramatic appearance). The suspense builds to a fever pitch and the action is fast and furious as "Young Warriors" race the police to close in on the killers. You'll never forget the explosive excitement of the shocking climax!

This review is from: Young Warriors (VHS Tape)

A GREAT 80'S FLICK. A MOVIE STARRING JAMES VAN PATTEN, RICHARD ROUNDTREE(SHAFT),ERNEST BORGNINE(WILD BRUNCH),AND MIKE NORRIS(CHUCK NORRIS'S SON), IS ABOUT A YOUNG STUDENT SEEKING REVENGE FOR HIS SISTER'S DEATH. THE FIRST OF THIS MOVIE IS STRICTLY SILLY SCHOOL ANTIC, THE SECOND HALF IS A GROUP OF FRIEND FORMING AN ACT OF RETALIATION ON THE CULPRIT RESPONSIBLE FOR HER DEATH.THE SHOWDOWN AT THE REDNECK BAR AND THE STUNNING CLIMAX IS WORTH SEEING AGAIN AND AGAIN. ONCE THE ACTION STARTS, IT NEVER LET GO.BEST OF ALL.THIS MOVIE IS A CANNON PRODUCTION.THE COMPANY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THE CHUCK NORRIS/CHARLES BRONSON BRAND OF ACTION MOVIE IN THE EARLY 1980'S.
