"WARRIORS" (1979) is a movie with a cult following. In a synopsis taken from the homesite, the movie follows a gang of nine guys from The Warriors gang of Coney Island as they head up to The Bronx for a big meeting. The meeting was called by Cyrus, who is the leader of the biggest gang in the city, as he wants to create a 60,000 strong gang which can overpower the police. Under a truce, nine members from each gang attend the meeting where Cyrus begins his speech of unity. Just as he finishes detailing his plan, he gets shot dead by Luther. In the panic that ensues, Luther frames The Warriors for shooting Cyrus. As the gangs flee back to their home turf, The Warriors soon realize that they need to bop their way back to Coney Island. To make matters worse, the truce has been called off, The Warriors have no weapons and every gang in the city is out looking for them. The movie follows their struggle back home through enemy turf, and shows their encounters with various gangs including the Orphans, and the infamous Baseball Furies.
  • I discovered that Dorsey Wright, who plays Cleon, works at my job. Cleon is the character who gets killed early on during the scuffle in the Bronx. He is seen wearing a cloth rag over the top of his head. Here, in the cast is Dorsey Wright.
  • During his vacation in August he will do signings at conventions along with other cast members.
  • He has also done voice for the Warriors video game, and commercial spots unrelated to the Warriors.

The August convention was cancelled for them since a great many couldn't make it. However recently they attended the Chiller Theatre convention in New Jersey on October 28th.

Hey, I was at the Chiller thing last year (2006) and met Dorsey... Really nice guy -- also met most of the Warriors cast there too.. Another nice guy from the cast (also a Bronxite) is Apache Ramos...

Heres the pics.

...Dorsey Wright is my working partner this week
and he informs
me that, contrary to what his bio says, he was born
in Philadelphia, not
the Bronx, though he still lives here...I even dropped him
off in front of
his building. This Philly thing came up because we
were discussing the
Giants' playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles this past Sunday.
