"Can you count suckas?!"
On September 13th, many original cast members of one of the best New York City cult films ever, The Warriors, are coming out to playeeyaayyyyy in Coney Island.
We're stoked.
It's been 37 years since the film was released and nobody involved really knew it would turn into such a big deal.
Especially considering how 'The Warriors' didn't do so well at the box office initially, the movie's staying power on our popular consciousness is impressive to say the least.
It's with that sentiment in mind that film producer and actor, Eric Nyenhuis, is organizing this reunion, to pay homage to the film by getting as many people together out in Brooklyn as possible.

Nyenhuis told The Village Voice, “Let’s get these boys back on the Q train, let’s get 'em back to Coney Island, let’s get 'em back to Stillwell Avenue. And we’re doing that. Thirty-seven years later, we are doing that.”
We're pumped about this. Besides a mini-reunion at a comic book convention in Atlantic City, there haven't been too many good opportunities to get down Warriors style.
This event "will include a meet-and-greet, autograph signings, a cosplay contest judged by the original cast, and live performances" from a couple NYC punk bands.

And of course, they'll be showing the film followed by a Q&A. Tickets are going fast.
There are two options left: there's a $25 general admission ticket as well as only seven (at the moment) remaining (VIP) "Last War Chief" tickets at $400 apiece.
Definitely grab a ticket now if you're trying to attend; you don't want to miss what will go down at this memorable reunion.
