** Not to mention the difficulty in actually ''rendezvousing'' with any potential backup, if neither party of Warriors has the means to communicate on the move. Any likely landmarks or intersections the nine might suggest for a meet-up could easily be compromised if other gangs spot someone in Warrior colors hanging around waiting for his fellows to arrive. Odds are, any would-be rescuers would only end up missing their gangmates completely or getting ambushed themselves than to actually find Cyrus's group.

** Not to mention the Riffs surely have people watching every late-night train coming in ''or'' out from Coney Island. Potential backup probably wouldn't make it past the first Bronx station without being intercepted.

** Because they're a small gang and don't have extra help. Their theme song is "Last of a Ancient Breed" and it's mentioned that no one thought The Warriors would ever make it home and no one in the Riffs (The larges and most powerful gang in New York) even knows who they are.. They only had nine members to send to begin with.

** The comic sequel ''Jailbreak'' shows that the Warriors have numbers comparable to the those of the Riffs, the strongest gang, so it's less that they don't have extra help and more that said extra help are unavailable in the early morning. Supposedly, they could have hid and waited for more Warriors to show up, but Swan felt that their HomeFieldAdvantage was good enough.

* Each gang was only allowed to bring nine members to the big meeting, but as we see, even fourth-rate gangs like the Orphans actually have many more members than that. So why is it that when the Warriors finally make it back to their home turf they are unable to call on any extra help?

** They didn't have enough time to call for reinforcements, if any exist in the first place. From a storyteller's perspective, there are lots of reasons why it would be unsatisfying for this to happen. There'd suddenly be a bunch of strangers on the hero's side that we'd have no emotional attachment to. If the Warriors were to suddenly outnumber the Rogues, it would undercut the tension of their final confrontation. When the Warriors get complimented for their toughness and walk into the sunset, there would be a bunch of extra Warriors with them who hadn't experienced the events of the movie.

** The Warriors themselves do discuss this on the train home, reckoning that the plan was flawed. In the game, Masai even tells Cyrus that the plan is flawed and in the comic sequel, he states the dream died with Cyrus.

* It's mentioned in the making-of documentary that originally, Fox was not scripted to die the way he did in the film. Due to a conflict between the actor playing Fox and the director, the actor refused to show up on set anymore and Fox's death was filmed with a double (in fact, the moment you know the double takes over is seen when the members scramble in the subway after the cops find them at the stop prior to Union Station, as his face is facing away from the camera while he's running with Mercy, and you don't even see his face during his scuffle with the police officer, with only his voice being used, which could have been from cut footage). There's a good chance that the original version of the story, where Fox lives, would have had him reveal that he saw who shot Cyrus to the group during the earlier scenes. However, there's a chance due to the behind the scenes conflict, that particular scene hadn't been filmed for the film in the first half of the story (remember, films are not filmed in sequence, so a bulk of the first act may have not been completed filming by the time this problem came up) and the changes made to the story to have the Warriors unaware that they were being targeted until when they're closer to home ended up being how the film played out.

** As I recall, one of the Rogues had already arrived at the Riffs' hideout, with the implication that he informed on Luther. This is why the Riffs arrive at Coney Island already having changed their target to the Rogues instead of the Warriors. While squealing on Luther, the informant Rogue probably told Masai that Luther did it for "no reason. He just likes doing stuff like that," as Luther himself admits.
