WarriorFest celebrate 35 years of The Warriors
We, at Den of Geek, had our minds blown this past Saturday at WarriorFest -the first annual celebration of the 35th anniversary release of the cult movie, The Warriors. (That sentence doesn't make sense, does it?) The Warriors captures New York during a much more dangerous era - where gangs ruled the city and terrorized people while wheeling around on rollerskates, dressed in baseball uniforms, or sporting that sweet, sweet trim. (Let's here if for the Lizzies!) Can you dig it? In the movie, we follow the Warriors as they battle their way back to Coney Island. On Saturday at (Le) Poisson Rouge, we had a hell of a good time as we met such cast members as David "Chochise" Harris and Apache Ramos from The Orphans - while the whole event was hosted By NYC Punk Rock Icon John Joseph.
WarriorFest was a cinematic extravaganza marking the most iconic cult movie in New York history. The evening played out like the Rocky Horror Picture show - with fans screaming out their favorite lines and a several members of The Furies in attandence.
