A lot has changed in New York City since Walter Hill filmed The Warriors. While the Wonder Wheel remains, much of Coney Island has changed when standing on Stillwell Avenue. More than 35 years after the cult classic released, Rolling Stone filmed as cult fans organized “Swan” (Michael Beck), “Cochise” (David Harris), gang leader “Cleon” (Dorsey Wright), “Vermin” (Terry Michos) and “Fox” (Thomas G. Waites) to ride the Q Train to Coney. The MTA lines are one of the consistencies in New York City from the 1978 filming (released in ’79) and today. Even that is questionable.

Beck, the cast lead, reflected, “These subways are different than they were in 1978,” recalling the graffiti-strewn trains that The Warriors desperately traveled from the Bronx to the bottom of Brooklyn—stopping in Manhattan along the way. In a series of videos at R.S., cast members reflected on the film’s impact alongside fans—some traveling continents—to witness the celebration.
