• Dueling Movies: Released the same year as The Wanderers with both films sparking discussion about youth gangs. The studios raced to beat each other to the punch, but The Warriors came out first and had the more lasting impact.
• Hey, It's That Guy!
  • The DJ is played by Lynne Thigpen, best known as the Chief in the Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego tv show.
  • Fox later moves on to bigger and better things working on the south pole in The Thing (1982).
  • Luther later became T-Bird in The Crow.
    • He was also going to be killed last. I Lied.
    • Also, he must have been pretty old when he moved to New York, considering he spent time first in the French Foreign Legion and later in a Wehrmacht penal battalion.
  • Ajax became, of all things, a cop! Though he spent much of his time training his adoptive son to be a more efficient serial killer, so maybe it's not that much of a stretch.
  • One of the cops was played by Sonny Landham, whom you probably know best as "Billy" in Predator.
• Throw It In: David Patrick Kelly ad-libbed the iconic scene in which he clanks the empty bottles together and calls out a challenge to the Warriors. Ajax's James Remar also ad-libbed his line, "I'm gonna shove that bat up your ass and turn you into a Popsicle!"
• What Could Have Been: An opening narration was planned, voiced by Orson Welles. It's included on the director's cut DVD, along with comic book-style transitions between scenes.
  • If Hill wouldn't have been able to make this movie, his backup plan was to do a western film called Last Gun.
