The Warriors

The Warriors are the titular protagonists of the 1979 American cult action/thriller film The Warriors, and the 2005 video game prequel. They are a fictional New York City gang in 1979, reigning over their home turf of Coney Island, Brooklyn.
They have built a reputation of one of the toughest gangs in the city. Their strength comes from each member having their own unique toughness and skill. When brought together as a whole, the Warriors are able to make it through the perils of NYC's gang warfare.
The actors for Swan, Ajax, Cleon, Cochise, Fox, and Mercy returned to voice their characters for the video game, but the other four Warriors were given new voice actors; Rembrandt's actor died, Vermin's actor's voice had aged too much, and the actors of Snow and Cowboy had retired.
==Initiation Order==
Cleon and Vermin left the Destroyers on 16th April, 1978, then formed the Warriors before 6th May. Swan and Cowboy earned their Warriors waistcoats on 6th May, but fully joined on 7th May. Ajax and Snow joined on 15th June, Fox joined on 22nd or 23rd July, Cochise joined on 19th August, and Rembrandt joined on 13th April, 1979.

==Trivia==
===Film===
* In the first deleted scene, Cleon mentions that the gang has 120 full members. However, in the game, only 19 members are important enough to have (nick)names.
* The Warriors' sign painted on the bath house for a photo was painted over a real gang's tag. The gang didn't take this well, so the producers paid them to be in the film.
* The order of the actors in age: (4/2/49), (29/8/52), (15/5/53), (26/12/53), (31/12/53), (8/1/55), Tom McKitterick (20/12/56), (21/4/57), (5/12/57), (23/5/59).
* According to an interview with a member of the on , the Warriors' vest logo was taken from a picture of a bike built in a California prison by an incarcerated Hells Angel, which appeared in a motorcycle magazine. It has apparently caused several fights; Hells Angels will violently defend ownership of any of their logos. As a result, all future depictions of the logo feature a flaming cobra instead of a winged skull. The cobra logo is the only Warriors logo that is sanctioned to appear on merchandise: t-shirts, comics, video games, replica vests, etc.
* The Warriors have been in other media.
** The film is heavily referenced in .
** In , three characters (Trent, Norton, and Edward) may say "Come out to playyy!"
** In , the protagonist may decorate their jacket with a Warriors logo.
** The film is heavily referenced in (episode ""), (episode ""), (episode ""), and (episode "").
===Game===
* Only the nine main Warriors have recorded voice acting for the "SCATTER" and "MAYHEM" commands.
* The Warriors make their money through committing the following crimes: mugging people, stealing car radios, doing smash-and-grabs, and extorting the local shop owners.
* When choosing the Fury Mode difficulty, all members have the Baseball Furies' skins (character models): the 'New Bloods' have BJ's skin; Cleon has Cobb's skin; Swan has Thurman's skin; Vermin and Cochise have Darien's skin; Cowboy and Rembrandt have Zack's skin; Ajax, Snow and Fox have Ryan's skin.
* As of the film and game, the second-in-command title would be given to Snow, as Swan is the new Warlord. However, providing that Jailbreak is canon, it is unknown if Ajax or Snow would be main lieutenant, so the title, in that case, would remain vacant.
* The four Warriors with two-blow grapple moves (Vermin, Fox, Cowboy, and Rembrandt) always knock someone out for their stealth attack; the other five main Warriors will swiftly snap their target's neck (if holding nothing), slice their throat (with a knife or broken bottle), or put them to sleep with a choke-hold (if carrying almost any other weapon).
* In rumble mode, if you switch to a Warrior in their default waistcoat outfit (after the initial Warchief/player is wrecked) during a match, they will have the standard fighting moves (roundhouse kick, 2-hit finishing moves, etc.), rather than their own. The only thing they always retain is their rage meter and raw strength. However, if any Warrior is the starting Warchief of a match, they'll always fight in their unique style - it's only when you switch to a Warrior that they become default.
** Furthermore, even AI Warriors during matches will have the default fighting moves, as long as they're in default attire.
** However, Flashback Warriors never have this problem - they always fight like they should. The same goes for the 'ghosts' of Ajax and Swan.
* When equipping a hat, Warriors have different reactions; Cowboy will be happy to re-equip his own Stetson, but will not be happy if it's a different hat. Ash, Vermin and Snow will like the hat that they put on, but the other six will verbally express their dislike of the hat, despite still wearing it on the player's command.
** It is unknown how Snow, Cochise and Rembrandt can even wear hats, considering their large afros.
* Ajax, Swan, Vermin, Cowboy, Fox and Rembrandt are the only characters in the game (except Virgil) that do not use the tornado kick as the raging power move; even fat and/or untrained characters, such as Chatterbox, can do this kick. However, it isn't canon that such people can perform this kick, as it can only happen in the non-canon rumble mode.
* In terms of rage, Swan has the longest rage span, lasting about 15 seconds, with Cowboy having the second longest, with about 13 seconds. Cleon, Snow and Cochise's rage times last about 12 seconds, and are exactly the same as any character in rumble mode that isn't a main Warrior. Ajax's rage time is about the same, but the rage bar is longer and fills up quicker. The rage meters of Vermin, Fox, Rembrandt and Ash are all different, but they each take the same amount of time to deplete, which is roughly 8 seconds. This makes the order of rage meters: Swan, Cowboy, Cleon/Snow/Cochise/Ajax, and Vermin/Fox/Rembrandt/Ash.
** Despite this order of rage meters, the order is officially listed as follows: Ajax/Fox (10/10), Cochise (9/10), Cleon/Snow/Cowboy (8/10), Swan/Vermin (7/10), and Rembrandt (6/10).
** In this case, the 'Rage' character statistic only counts for how much maximum rage a Warrior has (how long the actual meter is); for example, Fox and Ajax's Rage stats are listed as 10/10, yet they are completely inferior to Swan's, despite his being listed as only 7/10. Moreover, Cowboy's is 8/10, yet is worse than Swan's, and better than Fox and Ajax's.
** Despite the three black Warriors' rage meters identically being the default ones, Cochise's Rage stat is listed on his page as 9/10, whilst Snow and Cleon's are listed as 8/10.
* The Warriors make an Easter egg appearance in issue #27 of the IDW comics publication Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, where they sit among the assembled crime gangs of New York to witness an impending execution lead by the Shredder.
*Overall, regarding both player-one and player-two, Swan is playable 12 times, Cleon & Snow are playable 10 times each, Vermin is playable 9 times, Rembrandt is playable 6 times, Ajax & Cowboy are playable 5.5 times each, Cochise is playable 5 times, Fox is playable 4 times, and Ash is playable once.
