What appears to be a nice print has popped up on Ebay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/16mm-cult-feature-film-THE-WARRIORS-1979-Walter-Hill-/151204927400?pt=US_Film&hash=item23348417a8

There’s a youtube clip linked in the auction.

So, would there be any point in trying to nab this? I think the potential is there for another grindhouse-esque presentation ala Puggo Grande.

The film was shot open matte, and I compared the clip to Blu Ray screencaps to confirm this, so no apparent aspect ratio worries here.

I don’t think the bidding would get to Star Wars levels of insanity, (especially this soon after Christmas) but with film collectors you never know…
