@@eronifitiao6660 I don't remember a reason other than probably Luther wanting to maintain chaos. I don't think the Rogues were as big of a gang, and all the gangs uniting probably meant they'd be somewhere in the bottom. Killing Cyrus likely allows them to thrive in disorder.
Drove my whole family nuts today by saying "can you diggit" all morning. I'm 49 yrs old, I think the only people who remember this on TV when cable first came out in the late 70's early 80's anyone who remembers watching this when it came out must be between 48 and 58yrs old!!

Im so glad I stumbled upon my stepdads copy of this game in 06, went and found the movie right after I was mindblown by the world and storyline and charcaters. Still a classic to this day and I show my friends the movie and will show my kids haha
This has to be one of the most underrated performances ever. Here's a guy addressing a crowd in a way they relate to, uses reason, and is full of charisma. My question is why this actor isn't better known today?
@@atomicbomb1212 I heard that somewhere, but at the time I wrote this he might have still been around. Moreover, it was a shame he didn't get better coverage. Who knows, not everyone stays in the profession or stays in movies. I heard the actor who played Snow actually became a State Trooper, which is a real switch of careers.
The fact that Cyrus could get 900 street thugs and ne'er-do-wells to shut their cakeholes just by lowering his arms shows that he has the power to lead the troops to victory. CAN YOU DIG IT?

Ah, The Warriors. So deliciously camp. Only in the 80's is it plausible to audiences that the toughest, largest and most reputable gang in the city is lead by a Shakespearean thespian wearing a robe.
Well he was leader but it was only because he had a way of speaking. He wasn't a soldier or anything like that. He was kinda like the mouthpiece of the group. As a matter a fact the way I always looked at him was kinda like Eugene from the walking dead only not as soft and actually had a plan.
@@jasonbridges8095 Only if Cyrus would have unleashed violence and chaos on the city. Probably he just wanted to be in a position to extort everyone like a mafia boss.
Before Colors, Boyz in The Hood, Menace to Society there was The Warriors. Still on of my favorite movies of all times. That unforgettable scene towards the end with the guy clanging the two coke bottles together saying "Warriors come on and play".... just classic!
Fun Fact: *Roger Hill* wasn't even supposed to play the role of Cyrus. The actor who was supposed to play Cyrus didn't show up to the set that day for whatever reason so the director had Roger step in and the rest is history. 💯
This piece is a masterpiece in disguise. Gangs coming together, is what the powerful is so afraid of. Now all the powerful does is just take out the leader and act as if its the opposing gang, now we're back at square one
if gangs came together the powerful wouldn't lose any power, they outgun and outnumber the gangs, and even the local police outgun the gangs, just not outnumber
It’s a metaphor for the nwo, the current system, and some rogue douche bag brainless fuck shot him and let “warriors” take the fall, Cowboy, Chochice, Rembrandt etc etc and the Lizzie gang? Most violent and deceptive of the bunch
If they ever make a sequel to the game, they should make it that Cyrus doesn't get killed and the gangs did form an alliance and take over the city, and make it completely open world.
The fact was Cyrus wanted to unite the gangs all under his rule, in the end Cyrus getting killed was actually a good thing to think of, in the film the Warriors also discussed how ridiculous Cyrus's plan was.
an obvious tribute to Martin Luther King written into one of the most charismatic and short lived characters. Great speech. Can be applied to much of what is still going on today. Unify or die.
Io sono del 73 e questo film, specialmene visto da adolescente, ti rimane dentro. Quando lo diedero in TV in prima visione, ricordo che per giorni e giorni, non parlavamo altro che dei Warriors.
Yesss I'm into that....also loved shinobi them 80s arcades blew my mind ...Imagine today's games then I'd say you was crazy can I kick it "yes you can"
Ages ago when he was asked about where he got it from he said he got it from this film but for some reason since then he’s changed his story and he now says he made it up
I showed this to my 6 year old grandson. A few days later after scoring a goal in soccer, he ran over in front of the other team's bench and shouted"Can you diiig iiit!"

Well said.
Sucka.
Yeah, I was broken-hearted when I heard about that.
arnold jack yesss😢😢😢
We dig man👊
Such a powerful message for us all today: there's more of us than them, and when we're not wasting time wasting each other, the future is ours.
That's why they created left vs right and paid the media to slander each other
Chaos is ladder my friend, and most of our politician are opportunists, not true leader
Why does Luther shoot Cyrus?

Cyrus tends to forget the Military coming in if gangs took out the 20,000 police. haha

YEEEEAAHHH
I will forever love this movie. Idk if its the nostalgic vibe or camera quality but new movies will never give this type of feel with basic scenes.
The most inspiring speech of all time.
I could dig it
100th like
Nonsense
George Washington gave this exact same speech at the start of the Revolutionary war.
Fun fact.
"Can you dig it?" -George Washington
"Can you count, Suckers?" -George Washington
"Can you count, suckas? I say the future is ours! If you can count.

Lincoln addressed Gettysburg 'Four score and seven years ago our fathers could count'
Fun fact- I am so sad
My friend used to repeat that “Can you dig it” line when he lowers the tone of his voice .. used to crack me up every time.
Looking back. Everyone in this scene took part in such an iconic movie
Those men witnessed the making of an iconic scene and 1 of the greatest speech in cinematic history.
Why can't we have a movie like this any more? It's all super heroes and franchises.
One of the best scenes in cinematic history.
Speech should be used in every and acting and public speaking class.
Rest In Peace Mr. Roger Hill.

I am 51 years old and this has been my favorite movie for over 40 years! I wish there was a sequel, wouldn't that be awesome.
But how could you? It would just be the Warriors alone. About the only way would be them going legit:):) "Can You Dig It?"
Love it how an actor with a small part can make such an impact. Great presence and delivery
Imagine if Cyrus's vision had been fulfilled, what a glorious age would have unfolded
Blame Luther.
A what? A glorious age of gangs doing criminal stuff to people? Stop being silly!
National Guard would have rolled in to put it down. Cyrus was attempting an insurgency.

I bought the game "The Warriors " on ps2 years ago.
Never knew about the film, but the game was so good for its time.

The combat sistem and the Story is still great

Yes! 10 years later since my post, its now 45 years.@@patricesankara3081
If you’re still watching this movie you’re a true legend
Still watching in 2023 , first seen it it 1990 , yes I'm LEGENDARY
It's a shame we never got to see him play Doc Brown in an exploitation knockoff movie called Black to the Future.

I can't put into words the effect The Warriors has had on my life. Like seriously. Such a huge part of who I am today.
I want to see Keegan-Michael Key do an impression of Cyrus

The most important speech in cinema history.
I know we hate reboots but I would love a reboot of this Film it's so great.
"Miracles is the way things ought to be."
This was the greatest speech in cinematic history! Cyrus is a excellent orator.
Cyrus' speech is the best scene in the movie. Rest in peace, Roger Hill, a.k.a. Cyrus! "Can you Dig It??!!"
Rest in peace Roger hill you were a class actor

SOOOOO TRUE.

Hands down one of the most bizarre movies I've ever watched, yet equally enjoyable
I watched 2 days ago and man yes so bizzare almost mystical, but im not gonna lie I was hooked!
The Orphans were invited but they were busy collating their newspaper cuttings.
The way that Cyrus’ speech is actually pretty god damn on point, the future is ours if you can count can you dig it🔥🔥🔥
One of my favorite childhood movies.
Goosebumps everytime I watch this scene...all we need to do is rise up and stand on a united front...lol
People really don't understand the significance in the message

The Warriors, Very underrated Movie One of my Top 5 Favorites Can YOU DIG IT!!!!
Man Roger Hill killed It as Cyrus. You actually believed he was this larger than life figure by the way he talked, and carried himself In this movie!
man i remember going to the theater during the holidays in 79 in fordham road. Bronx NY to watch this. awesome times for a 13 year old.
If any Presidential candidate opened up a speech with "Can you count suckas?" I would 💯 vote for them
76 people can't Dig It.
+yukineswan 78...can you count? SUCKA

+Cynical Atheist lmao now that I liked it its back at 78 so can you dig it!

Jared Wignall 84 people can't dig it!
crazy to think that if he didnt die he would've basically incited city-wide if not nation-wide gang revolution
CAN YOU DIGG IT???
Just saw it in ur vid and immediately came here
If they ever make a sequel to the game, they should make it that Cyrus doesn't get killed and the gangs did form an alliance and take over the city, and make it completely open world.
this isnt about a video game you child
So like a "what if" scenario storyline? Doesn't sound too bad of an idea.
One of The most classic scenes ever Can you dig it?
Let me grab my shovel
00:04 first day of high school math class.
lol
I remember this movie watching it on the old 42 street back in 1979 as a kid crazy
The fact was Cyrus wanted to unite the gangs all under his rule, in the end Cyrus getting killed was actually a good thing to think of, in the film the Warriors also discussed how ridiculous Cyrus's plan was.
Yea Cyrus was a Virus before John Malkovich.
Is this where Booker T got his theme song
Jimmy Snuka with Booker T's move set.
One of the best speeches in cinematic history!
Cyrus feels like Fred Hampton in real life, someone who's bringing all races together bound by lower class to fight those who control them.
My favorite part was "Can you dig it?"
lol! mine too. When he says Can you dig it.
I love how rockstar gave so much love for this movie in the game by building this moment up they didn't have to but they did it anyway
The Warriors damn near if not perfectly depicted New York City in the 1970s & 1980s
Crazy thing is that he wasn’t even supposed to play that role but stepped in because the original actor didn’t show up. He owned it. I dig it.
R.I.P. 2 Roger Hill(Cyrus). Passed away 2/20/14 age 65 from a heart attack. A small but unforgettable performance. CAN YOU DIG IT?!!!!
I seriously....seriously _just_ realized this is what reminded me of the song 20K from Pegboard Nerds...
They use quotes from this scene in their song, that's how.
in 2006 there was a Warriors reunion/screening, and Cyrus delivered his famous line again. its here on youtube, type in Warriors reunion 2006
+el guapo no lo hallé we, puedes mandarme el link? gracias
they do a reunion again in 2015
+valdi vall they can't Cyrus is dead
Oi325 No, its true. They did a reunion in 2015. just google it.
Yeah but Cyrus has been dead since 2014 so if they did a reunion he wasn't involved.
One of the most underrated gem.
If they dare remake they need to cast The Rock as Cyrus, the only actor that can hype up like this
Cyrus: can you dig it
Shaquille o Neal: can you dig it
an obvious tribute to Martin Luther King written into one of the most charismatic and short lived characters. Great speech. Can be applied to much of what is still going on today. Unify or die.

I'm guessing Booker T got his catchphrase from this scene
True dat sucka
He confirmed that he got the catchphrase from this film.

so many memorable lines from this movie, total cult classic
Now we know where Booker T “ Can you dig it suckaaaaa”
This makes me want to play Double Dragon, Final Fight, and Streets of Rage for some reason.
Yesss I'm into that....also loved shinobi them 80s arcades blew my mind ...Imagine today's games then I'd say you was crazy can I kick it "yes you can"
play The Warriors on PS2
Yes, Double Dragon was inspired from this movie. Not sure about the others.

This movie and Escape from New York (1981) made it feel like New York was going to hell at that time and there was no future lol
I showed this to my 6 year old grandson. A few days later after scoring a goal in soccer, he ran over in front of the other team's bench and shouted"Can you diiig iiit!"
My son said the same thing very loud, here in Sweden, in his classroom. For 3 years ago while he was lifting his arms exactly like Cyrus did.
