The Warriors Trivia Questions
1. Which American novelist wrote the book upon which the film "The Warriors" is based?

From Quiz Counting Down My Favourite Flicks: "The Warriors"

Answer: Sol Yurick

Solomon Yurick was born on the 18th of January, 1925, in Manhattan, New York, in the United States. "The Warriors", which was published in 1965, was Yurick's first novel, which then inspired the 1979 film of the same name. Though the novel is a work of fiction, it was somewhat influenced by one of Yurick's early jobs as a social investigator for the New York City welfare department, a position he held until the early years of the 1960s.

2. "The Warriors" was filmed on location in what major U.S. city?

Directed by Walter Hill, the 1979 film "The Warriors" focuses on gang warfare in New York City, and begins with a midnight summit in Van Cortlandt Park.

From Quiz The Warriors

Answer: Can you dig it?

He made "can you dig it?" famous. "Kiss my converse", came from "The Last Dragon", "You are all my children" came from "Nightmare on Elm Street 2 Freddie's Revenge". However, "this is all our turf" is something Cyrus said. It just never caught on I guess.

After calling for each gang to send nine of its members to Van Cortlandt Park, in order to discuss the possibility of taking over New York City, he moves the crowd by constantly repeating the words "Can you dig it?" However shortly after expressing his desire to form one single gang, with the aim of taking control of the city, he is shot and killed. However though Cyrus is murdered by another gang, it is the Warriors who are accused of the crime, and are thus forced to try and make their way home safely, not an easy thing to do when every other gang in the city is out looking for them.

26. Throughout the film "The Warriors", what medium of mass communication keeps each group (apart from the Warriors themselves) up to speed with any new developments?

From Quiz Counting Down My Favourite Flicks: "The Warriors"

Answer: Radio

Throughout the 1979 film "The Warriors", radio plays a pivotal role, especially given the fact that the Gramercy Riffs use it to put a hit out on the Warriors, following the death of their leader, Cyrus. As a result, the message soon spreads that the Gramercy Riffs "want all the Warriors" alive "if possible. If not, wasted." As a result, every gang in New York City immediately starts hunting for them.

27. In the movie, we learned that The Riffs were from what specific area of New York City?

Gramercy is the birthplace of Teddy Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States.

30. From the moment that the leader of the Gramercy Riffs is murdered, the Warriors' focus shifts to making it home alive. But where is their home turf?

From Quiz Counting Down My Favourite Flicks: "The Warriors"

Answer: Coney Island

The Warriors' home turf is Coney Island, and when they do eventually make it home at the end of the film, though relieved, they are aware that the danger is not truly over until the true culprit (who murdered Cyrus) is caught. Therefore when Swan spies the real murderer, Luther from the Rogues, he confronts him, stating "Let's do it, me and you", only for the latter to respond with "One on one? You're crazy".
