THE WARRIORS directors cut: Don't improve on pefection!
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I've always been a HUGE fan of the film THE WARRIORS! Ever since seeing it at my local drive-in back in the day of the films original release-1979.I had heard that Walter Hill had re-worked the film,THE WARRIORS,the way HE originally intended for the film to be shown.Couldn't wait to see what was left out of the original version of the AMAZING film classic!
I found the directors cut on DVD sometime back at a local flea market.Paid very little for it.Three or four dollars i believe.Couldn't wait to watch it when i got home!
I loved the original theatrical release of THE WARRIORS! But,seeing this directors cut,i had wished Walter Hill had left the film the way it was originally shown in theatres.
The directors cut is too cartoony! Almost like a comic book,each segment turning like a page from a comic book.Live action turns into still action-animated.It kind of takes away from the fast pace of this film.Perfection should ALWAYS be left alone.If it ain't broke,DON'T fix it!
Walter Hill is one of the most gifted directors in Hollywood! He's been around for years,and knows what he's doing.But,Mr.Hill,you must know how much of a cult following your film,THE WARRIORS has and how beloved this film is to its fans.ANY film as well made as this one,should have been left ALONE!
If you want to buy this film,buy the original theatrical version of this film.If you're curious about the directors cut,rent it first!
