Surf Turf: Coney Island's ruling gang members in 1979's 'The Warriors'
Get out your colors. They're remaking "The Warriors," the ultimate New York gang movie.
Made in 1979, "The Warriors" was part "West Side Story," part "Starlight Express." The title antiheroes had to hightail it from the upper Bronx back to their home turf, Coney Island, after being (wrongly) accused of killing a messianic leader at a major gang summit.
On their trip over and under the city streets, they're hunted by "menacing" ruffians like the High Hats (who are dressed as mimes wearing top hats), the Boppers (purple-vested baddies who resemble a Ben Vereen dress-alike troupe), the Lizzies (a sapphic girl gang), the Baseball Furies (bat-wielding boys in face paint) and the Gramercy Riffs (kung-fu kids in orange outfits and giant afros).
But what kind of colorful street gangs will a "Warriors 2005" include? These ripped-from-the-headlines, New York-specific troublemakers could have real punch:
The Bloomies A group of billionaires who ride the subway snatching cigarettes out of the mouths of innocent bystanders. The Look: Brook Brothers blue pinstripes, well-coiffed bachelor-dad hair. Their Turf: Upper East Side.
The Emos Shaggy hipsters who lurk in dark bars that host acoustic music shows. The Look: Thick black-frame glasses, sixth-grade-style short-sleeve shirts. Their Turf: Williamsburg, DUMBO, lower East Side.
The Trumps A band of "Apprentice" castoffs who snarl "You're fired!" to passersby in their best Donald-ese. The Look: Everest-size comb-overs, white-guy bling-bling. Their turf: The Four Seasons; Park Avenue financial firms.
The Voguers Mean, Machiavellian girls from Vogue magazine. The Look: T-shirts that read "We Are Silently Judging You," social warpaint on their faces. Their Turf: The Conde Nast building, fashion shows.
The Laddies A bunch of guys who work at bikini-and-beer bibles like Stuff and Maxim. Sworn enemies of the Voguers. The Look: Casual-comfort polo shirts and jeans, bellies that would make their cover girls scream in horror. Their Turf: Bryant Park; alcohol-sponsored events.
The Krispys Doughnut-wielding yentas trying to force their teenage model-wannab-es daughters to eat, already. The Look: Fendi bags, pantsuits. Their Turf: Upper East and West Sides.
The UFTs Randi Weingarten-looking disciplinarians who make third-graders take the same test several times. The Look: Strict librarian chic. Their Turf: The United Federation of Teachers' office, City Hall.
The New Lizzies PR princesses who run people over in their cars, then screech "F—— you, white trash!" The Look: Long straight bangs; toothy don't-stare-at-me-do-not-stare-at-me smile. Their Turf: The Hamptons, outside the ropes at trendy events.
The Connies Republican delegates who clog the city during ill-advised political conventions. The Look: Red, white, and blue hats; elephant pins. Their Turf: Madison Square Garden, "Mamma Mia!"
The Jeters A gang of good-looking athletes who woo models and starlets and appear on magazine covers. The Look: Yankees uniforms. Their Turf: Hip nightclubs, trendy restaurants.
