The Warriors (1979) 9/10 - Easily one of the coolest films I've ever seen. Don't know what more needs be said, other than: I can dig it.

 

When my son and I were in New York this year, we headed to Coney Island on the subway.

Just had to get a picture by the 'Wonder Wheel' !

Magaged to get a cool Warriors t-shirt there.

Endor_Commando, eh?

 Yep, that's me. First time i logged in for ages.

There was a thread...a long while ago which argued discrepancies, I think it all started with the "How did Leia remember her mother" and expanded from there. Seemed to go on for ages. They have a cover story for everything and won't admit that there are mistakes.

I'll have poke around in the past threads and see if the thread is still around.

I have just read all that and put a 'like' on a few of your posts.lol !

Looks like you are in this for the long haul. If Obi-Rob4 gets involved in this the thread will go crazy.

They are not too hot on mentioning inconsistencies over there, as far as they are concerned, there isn't any. Try mentioning how can Leia remember her mother in ROTJ !

When/Why did you become an OT purist?

Oh there's not just one pruneface! There are three. And here is a gallery documenting what, as far as I know, are their only appearances: http://imgur.com/a/h4zdJ 

A Prune Face appears at the Rebel celebration, dancing in front of an Ewok hut.

About the SE Mos Eisley scenes. At the Elstree Empire Day in May, Gary Kurtz said that it was never the idea to have Mos Eisley like that. The original idea was how we see it in the original film. An out of the way, almost deserted town, like that from a Sergio Leoni western movie. Then someone asked about the Greedo scene. Gary said that Han shooting Greedo under the table was pre-emptied. Han knew that Greedo was going to kill him so he shot him before he had the chance. End of story.

What Do You Remember From Your First Viewing Of The OT?
Time

I remember the first time I saw Star Wars at the cinema, we went on the train over to the Guildford Odeon. When I came out of the station, there was a billboard with the poster on it.

We took the trek up the big hill to the cinema at the top and there was a line all around the back of the building. There was a big standup display of Luke, Leia and Han just inside the main doors.

My dad bought me the programme before we went up the stairs to the waiting area. The film was still playing to the previous crowd, and I remember jumping up and looking through the glass panel in the door. We had a support film called 'Fast Company' about car racing,bikes or something like that. As we all know the film was awesome and changed my life from that moment.

I saw The Empire Strikes Back, first on holiday at Weymouth. I bought the vinyl album (single disc) first and tried not to look at the picture sleeve inside and spoil the film for myself. That night, I was second in the line for the film showing. There was an intermission in the film just before Luke is training with Yoda on his back. I was the last one out of the cinema at the end as I wanted  to watch all the credits to the end. There was no way that Darth Vader was Luke's father I thought. He's lying !

The Star Wars/Empire Strikes Back double bill,I saw at Reigate Majestic Cinema.

Return Of Jedi, I first saw at Guildford again. Front row of the balcony. Same screen as Star Wars.

When I saw the triple bill at Guildford, people had packed lunches with them. They would not allow that today !

Amazing times !
