Curse of the Moon

Ultimate Directors Cut? Not so much.

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

The original movie is cheesy 70s fun. Always enjoy watching it. The ultimate directors cut needlessly adds all these weird comic book transitions. It’s distracting and feels out of place. It completely takes you out of the experience. It’s like the director watched Ang Lee’s Hulk and was inspired but didn’t realize how horrible that movie was. They even tack on this bs explanation as to why the movie is like this now. Let a comic be a comic and a movie be a movie. If you can find the original version pick that up instead.

Fantastic movie, but give us a blu ray release with the theatrical version!

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2017

This is one of my very favorite movies of all time. It's a story about a street gang from Coney Island that gets invited to a big gang conclave in the Bronx, and has to battle its way back through a hostile city to get back home -- a battle made more difficult by the fact that the gang is (spoiler alert!) unfairly blamed for the murder of the leader who called the gangs together for their big meeting. It's an exciting, well-paced tale of adventure and courage against great odds. I first saw it on HBO when I was ten, and I liked it then, I remember. I had no idea at the time that the movie's plot was based on the Anabasis of Xenophon. I figured that out when I was in college, before I'd actually read Xenophon's work and knew it only by outline, and I recognized the plot similarities, and the sprinkling of Greek or Persian names in "The Warriors" (e.g. Ajax, Cleon, Cyrus). The movie has grown to become one of my favorites over the years. The Ultimate Director's Cut will make the connection clear to any viewer in the opening narration. That said, I dislike the opening narration, and the illustrated comic book inter-titles peppered throughout the film. They are totally unnecessary, and they give the film an almost campy element it does better without, in my opinion. The movie can be enjoyed on its own merits by viewers who are totally unaware of the connection to Anabasis, and if they ever figure it out, or have it pointed out, it just adds one more enjoyable layer to the experience.

I have read that Walter Hill always wanted to opening narration (and tried to get Orson Welles to narrate it) but budgetary considerations, and studio influence kept that from happening. This is one time when interference from the studio suits may have actually improved the film -- it happens sometimes; sometimes artists do their best work when forced to operate within constraints they'd rather do without. It forces them to be more creative and subtle. Would Jaws be as enjoyable if you saw a lot of the shark, for example? Spielberg had to rely on unseen menace and the audience's imaginations, because the mechanical shark didn't work as well as desired, and they had to limit its screen time, resulting in a better, more suspenseful film. In a somewhat similar way, perhaps the lack of narration and other clues to connect "The Warriors" to Xenophon's story made Hill tell the movie's story better on its own. In any case, I think the theatrical version, without these later additions, is the far better version of the film. I really wish they'd release a version on blu ray that had both the theatrical, and director's cut versions. As it is, if you want to see the film in its sharpest, best presented version, visually, you have to buy the director's cut blu ray edition. If you want to see the better, theatrical version, you have to find one of the old, now out of production DVDs with the different cover, which has that version of the film, and accept the lower video quality as the price to be paid for seeing the superior version of the movie.

DO NOT BUY THE ULTIMATE DIRECTORS CUT

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a great movie, and the ultimate director cut is extremely disrespectful to it. This version adds a bunch of very jarring comic book transitions in an art style incongruous with the movie for no other ostensible reason than to kill the flow and bring you out of the film. What was the director thinking? Why would someone do this?

This "director's cut" is a bit much,but it's still a great movie.

Set against the backdrop of late 1970's New York...a decade which saw the great city scarred by economic upheaval and resulting crime...this tale of costumed street gangs has the title characters,a Coney Island-based gang,make the pilgrimage to Van Cortlandt Park to attend a summit of all the cities' major gangs,in which the charismatic Cyrus (Roger Hill) calls upon the assembled throng to put aside their differences and join together to seize control of their city; this plan is brought to an unceremonious end when Cyrus is shot...and the Warriors are framed for the crime. With their original leader killed in the resulting riot,it's up to warlord Swan (Michael Beck) to assume command and lead his group back home...despite being targeted by virtually every gang member in the city.
This is the "director's cut" ....no new scenes,but it begins with a brief prologue recalling an ancient Spartan army who found themselves trying to fight their way out of deep enemy territory (the parallel to the film's events is more than obvious),and new scenes are transitioned to by means of illustrated images not unlike those found in a comic book. Fortunately,these artsy touches,which were part of director Walter Hill's original vision for this story,are not much of an intrusion...fans of this movie will still enjoy this version,and newcomers to this semi-surreal,action packed story may find much to enjoy here.

The Warriors.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

Walter Hill's 1979 movie, based on a 60s novel that itself took Greek classical history as it's inspiration, is these days a celebrated cult film and its easy to see why.

Highly stylised and almost comic-book in its lurid depiction of New York gang culture, the basic premise is of the perilous journey The Warriors must make across other gang-held territories as they try to get back to their home turf – all the while running the gauntlet as they stand wrongly accused of murdering the leader of the most powerful gang in the city.
Featuring a largely unknown cast, its an exciting, cleverly plotted film. It holds up well today largely down to that stylised approach which renders it an almost timeless, epic quality.

The basic DVD edition has no extras, but provides a reasonable movie transfer on anamorphic widescreen; subtitles are as stated above in the product description.

* Please be aware that there is a director's cut of this movie available; it features cartoon sections interspersed at intervals throughout the film – not everyone is pleased with it; I would suggest this original theatrical version may be the best choice if you are new to the film, or if you cherish memories of this original version.*

Fantastic blu-ray, but does NOT include the original version of the movie.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

'The Warriors' is a genuine cult classic film that needs no introduction. This 'Ultimate Director's Cut' features an additional pre-credit prologue and alternate end credits, along with comic book style segues between scenes. The picture quality is simply stunning, with a crystal clear, razor sharp image that puts blu-ray transfers of most other 1970's films to shame (I'm looking at you Godfather part 1!). The sound is also superb and the disc has four featurettes, a theatrical trailer in HD and an introduction by director Walter Hill, outlining his original vision for the movie.

Sadly, the superior theatrical version of the film is not present on this blu-ray, which is a real shame as it could easily have been included to create a definitive package. However, I suspect that most fans will already own the original cut on DVD and it is readily available and inexpensive for those who don't. If you want the best looking (and sounding) version of 'The Warriors' currently available, the 'Ultimate Directors Cut' blu-ray is definitely the way to go.

Fantastic At last...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 21, 2020

the original version and not the unbelievable Directors cut, which for all its extras cannot, explain the totally unbelievable decision to cut out the ending walking down the beach to the strains of In the City. !!!!!!!

Great to relive this classic, again, as like others , watched this 100 times.
I recall in the 70s how this cult classic related to those who were part of the youth and football culture and dress of the times. I remember how about 50% of the middle of the Kop at Anfield and the Gladys Street at Goodison were at one time dressed in Bib and Braces.
I don't know if it was just me but the only versions I could obtain were on VHS and those I transferred to DVD before the Directors cut came along with its unbelievable end missing decision. Note also that 'The Fox' Thomas G Waites, is missing from the credits, as I believe he fell out with the director, and was cut out (under the train) was this guy (director) hard to get on with.?
For film purists the VHS versions are probably not great, but for me it was possible to create an 'Ultimate Warriors' DVD as different tapes had the original start in Coney, and two versions of songs, ' Nowhere to Run' and ' I'm a fugitive' .
Whatever your preferences enjoy this once in a lifetime memory thing,.

“It’s still on, and we’re going.” [Leader: Cleon]

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

This 1979 action thriller features The Warriors as a minor player street gang who must make an urban journey of 30 miles (48 km), from a meeting in the Bronx to their home turf in Brooklyn, after they are framed for the murder of Cyrus; a respected gang leader who is attempting to unit the city gangs.
With very little plot other than the attempt to get ‘home’ this became a surprise hit thanks to the non-stop fast pace, tension and lack of ‘gang culture’ moralising, the dark atmosphere heightened by the radio DJ announcements. Picture and sound quality remain surprisingly good [even on normal DVD].
The single disc opens to a 15 language selection [mainly European] before entering play; there are no other options [mine then gave a main menu at the end, play, audio german/english, subtitles –almost 20 languages, trailer and scene selection]. Rated 18 this has violence and less swearing than you’d imagine [F word used], but it’s all tame by modern standards. The language is now very dated and even for the time was hackneyed.

A REAL GANG MOVIE

Outstanding movie about a gang accused of a murder of a gang leader and their story about how they were trying to get back home to safety while fighting rival gangs on the way!

The truth is that it really happened.

The accused gang were the black spades, (With Africa Bam) and the shot person was a peace representative of the Ghetto Brothers
