What a truly, truly great fucking movie and how have I never seen this, given that one of Walter Hill’s other movies is one of my top-10 movies of all fucking time?
Loved this. LOVED. Loved the Baseball Furies, and the Lizzies, and the Orphans, and the crowds and the drama and the creepy creepy creepy bottle-tapping taunting. Loved the rollerskating, overall wearing farmboys who get their butts kicked in the bathroom at Union Square. Loved the “West Side Story” feel to some of the “running down dark streets, hoping not to get our faces beaten in” scenes. Loved the stuff on the trains. GO WARRIORS GO! RUN! Loved the DJ’s mouth. And her sass. Loved. (She is also in my favorite movie mentioned above. Hello!)
Crazy realization while watching the extras: Oh shit! Now that they’re showing him 30 years later, we see that Ajax is….the Richard guy Kim Catrall’s character was hooking up with on Sex&theCity! NO WAY!!!
