* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Particularly ironic since - at least according to director Walter Hill - the film was supposed to be set TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture.

Added DiffLines:

* HoYay: A street gang with a ratio of nine physically fit men to one rather homely woman? Almost all of whom bare their chests? [[ManlyGay And insist on fighting hand-to-hand]]? And are BashBrothers? And the movie's loosely based on an ancient Greek legend? It's almost inevitable - and, in particular, hard to resist the temptation to "slash" Ajax and Cowboy.
-->'''Cowboy:''' He saved my ass back there. We have to go back for him.

* BaseBreaker: With no pun intended, the Baseball Furies. Some viewers think they're [[RuleOfCool awesome]]; others [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment wonder what the filmmakers were thinking]].



* MemeticMutation: Cyrus's rallying cry of "Can you dig it?" and Luther's taunt, "Warriors, come out and play!" pop up all over the place.

** The entire Baseball Furies mission. Being chased by ruthless gang members with baseball bats and facepaint would freak anyone out.
* NoProblemWithLicensedGames: Among fans of the film, and even gamers in general, this is a much loved videogame adaptation of the film.

removing trope since a remake hasn\'t happened yet


* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: A remake was in the works, but is now stuck in DevelopmentHell. The remake would have changed the location to Los Angeles, changed the setting to modern times, and played everything dead serious, without any of the campiness that made the original so entertaining. Fans were up in arms for a while.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Cyrus' plan of uniting the gangs and taking over the city sounds like it would have made a great movie, but it's a red herring that is quickly scrapped and forgotten.

Added DiffLines:

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: "Last Of An Ancient Breed" by Desmond Child is a powerful song complete with an appropriate TitleDrop.
** "In The City" by Joe Walsh, while it sounds relaxing, sums up Swan's attitude at the end of the movie perfectly.
** Arnold [=McCuller=]'s version of "Nowhere To Run" is timed nicely as a threat to the Warriors.

* UnwinnableByMistake: Taking too long on the final battle with Luther will result in your AI controlled team mates throwing all the available debris, meaning you can't use it yourself.

Crowning Moment of Funny


* [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Crowning Moment Of Funny]]: On the special edition DVD's actor interviews, James Remar relates a story of how he went down to Coney to see what gang life was like down there and to find a model for his character Ajax. He goes to a carney working one of the booths and asks him "So what kind of people hang around down here?" The carney smiles, spreads his arms, and declares proudly, "The worst kind!"

Added DiffLines:

* CriticalDissonance: When it came out, the movie was roasted by critics, who lambasted it as a mindless, plotless, absurdly unrealistic violent schlockfest. However, it attracted considerable popularity, largely for being [[SoBadItsGood a mindless, plotless, absurdly unrealistic violent shlockfest.]]

* AdaptationDisplacement: The movie is ''loosely'' based on little known book by SolYurick. In fact, it's more faithful to Xenophon's ''Anabasis'' than Yurick's modernized (and deconstructed) version.

* IAmNotShazam: In the original Sol Yurick novel, the main gang was actually called the Dominators. The film avoided this trope by renaming them "the Warriors."
