warriors "director's cut" kind of messes up the film

there's an intro where the director states that he's trying to show the greek origins while also exploring the comic book side of this

this translates into intercuts like the Ang Lee hulk and a 15 second history lesson at the start of the film.

totally lame.

I imagine that The Warriors is a prequel to Escape from New York.

dirty harry is san fran, but you listed a lot of the major ones

also Cotton Comes To Harlem.  a bale of cotton shows up in Harlem and the cops want to know "why?"

Watch Cruising.

Also, I don't think The Conversation (the Hackman flick) is New York.  I want to say SF but it's been a while.
