The 1979 movie The Warriors was an instant cult hit, with millions of fans who have thrilled to the adventures of the Warriors, a street gang who had to beat down every other gang in New York–and escape from 20,000 police officers–to make it to the safety of their home turf: Coney Island. But what happened next? After a 30-year wait, everyone finally gets to see the next chapter with The Warriors: Jailbreak from Dabel Brothers Publishing.
While creating a sequel to a movie with a following like The Warriors might be intimidating, Dabel Brothers–and fans–are lucky to have three Warriors fanatics on the job: Erik Henriksen, Todd Herman, and Herb Apon. I was lucky enough to be initiated into their gang and got the inside scoop on how they came up with The Warriors: Jailbreak and where they plan to go from here!

I admit, I have heard a lot about the ’70s cult-classic movie The Warriors, but I have never seen it. Based on a novel by Sol Yurick, the movie centers on nine members of The Warriors, a New York City gang wrongly accused of killing a gang leader. To survive, they’ve got to get back to Coney Island. The problem? They have at least 59,999 really angry gang members (in some fabulous costumes) trying to kill them.
Before we go any further, just check out The Warriors trailer.
