i think the original version has prolly been deleted from paramount's dvd catalogue (at least for the moment), but it still shouldn't be too difficult to find sealed copies. you shouldn't have to pay a "collector's price" for it, considering that it was still on the shelves at best buy, circuit city, etc just a few months ago.
there's an upcoming remake of The Warriors directed by Tony Scott (Top Gun, Man On Fire, Domino, etc). http://www.warriorsmovie.co.uk/remake/
i haven't seen The Purifiers, but it sounds like it might be of interest to fans of The Warriors. or to fans of the Van Damme "Street Fighter" movie. http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/purifiers.php
OH. and another Walter Hill (director of The Warriors) movie -- Streets Of Fire. i recommend that. it's goofy as hell and totally entertaining... just like The Warriors.
