The directors of this film has just taken an easy story and made the best out of it and i must surely say that they succeeded. They have taken parts of their one experiences as teen hoodlums and let an old friend of theirs (Liam Norberg) play the main character Jocke. Jocke is a young man with a hard childhood who has grown as a young criminal. He and his friends are stealing, beating up peoples and do drugs. After a failed atempt to burglary Jocke gets thrown in jail where e meets Tony an invereate gangster. As they get togheter heavier crimes and drugs enter Jockes life. This is a fun film to watch looking all the celebrities and humoristic charachters and comments. One more thing thats quite intresting is that a few weeks before the film entered the big screen Liam Norberg was framed for Swedens biggest bankrobbery. But if the directors got help with the script of Liam i don´t know. I do suggest everyone to see it eventhough it was made a few years ago it´s still going strong!

The film takes of at the platform of coney island as the main characters are introduced their subwaytrain goes straight through new york to the bronx. This is night is all about one thing...Cyrus the leader of new york´s biggest gang has get together bangers from most of the gangs for taking over the town. Although this never happends when cyrus get shoot and the members of the warriors get blamed. Now warriors have to get back to coney island while all gangs of the town´s searching for them. This is surely one of the best action films ever made and was a pioneer in the action genre. The characters are as taken out of a comicbook (i´m thinking of the baseball furies) and you can tell right from the beginning it´s made in the seventies.

the storie is based on young paolo roberto´s own experiences in his teens. Paolo and his friends hang around kungsan at night as the get in trouble while robbing and beat down people. GET THE FACTS: in the summer of ´85-86 many teen gangs confronted eachother at kungsan at night and smaller riots started. The films director who worked as a social-science at that point heard about it and went downtown for the action. There he met young paolo, one of stockholms most feared teens. That is the major ingridiense for the film. This is truely a good film although it first was made for information in schools
