"Warriors, come out to play-ee-ay."

That line from "The Warriors" is like a secret code for lovers of the cult classic film. While a lot of people haven't even seen the low-budget gang saga, those who have tend to be lifelong fans. The Warriors, directed by Walter Hill, tells the story of a Coney Island gang who is framed for a murder and must spend an eventful night getting from The Bronx to their, approximately 20 miles travel time away, south Brooklyn home turf.

The other street gangs, throughout the city, whose colorful gimmicks make them all the more menacing, are hunting the Warriors on the streets and in the subways of New York. The city is depicted as a lawless urban wasteland (which didn't take a lot of effort in the late '70s), and the violence is life-or-death stuff.

As The Warriors hide from their rivals in the final scenes, The Rogues' the leader of their adversaries, Luther, clinks three bottles together and says, in a creepy, sing-songy voice, “Warriors, come out to play-ee-ay.”
