Warriors, The: Theatrical Cut Reconstruction (HD)

The Warriors has always been a favorite of mine in Walter Hill's filmography. This attempt at recreating its theatrical cut in the most accurate, high-quality fashion possible is nothing short of flawless. TM2YC once again does a spectacular job editing-wise, creating what is by far the definitive version of this gem of a film.

I reformatted this down to a .mkv, so I hope I didn't lose anything and I don't want to think it affects my review at all, but I'm throwing that out there to start. Also, having only had the Directors cut of the film and only seen that cut to date, I can't speak to how perfectly this restoration stacks up to the original theatrical cut, but I think the best review I can give it is that I largely couldn't tell what had been cut back into the movie and what was already there.

Most of the transitions are seemless if not close to it, and the movie has enough of it's own rough jump cuts that any extra fit right in. I notice a couple of moments of slight stuttering and a couple abrupt jumps which is why I didn't give it an outright 10 on visual editing/video quality, but otherwise this feels like an absolutely essential restoration that does nothing but improve upon the most widely available release.

Great work. This was badly needed by the fans, and it's THE way to watch the movie.

Highly recommended , sound and picture very very good , almost faultless just a jump cut in the last third slightly missed but i'm being petty , trying to find a fault in a great edit.

Watch it , and relive your teenage years

I highly recommend this version! This is the theatrical version that we should have gotten when it was released on bluray. It's exactly how I remember it now when I first saw it.
