Anyone here remember this movie?
I saw it the other night for the first time in like about 20 years or so. It was one of the first movies I remember watching on VHS.
The crazy b astard that killed Cyrus starts clicking those bottles together in the car when they get to Coney Island and starts chanting "Warriors, come out to plaa aay! Warriors, come out to plaa aay!!!"

| Damn, and I thought this was going to be a thread of reminiscence for the old Run TMC days out in Oakland. |

| Rockstar Games, creators of the GTA series, made a badass game based on that movie. I would highly recommend it for any fans of the movie that are also video game junkies. |

"You know," Thomas said. "It's strange how us Indians celebrate the Fourth of July. It ain't like it was our independence everybody was fighting for."
"You think about things too much," Victor said. "It's just supposed to be fun. Maybe Junior will be there."
"Which Junior? Everybody on this reservation is named Junior."
And they both laughed.
The fireworks were small, hardly more than a few bottle rockets and a fountain. But it was enough for two Indian boys. Years later, they would need much more.
Afterwards, sitting in the dark, fighting off mosquitoes, Victor turned to Thomas Builds-the-Fire.
"Hey," Victor said. "Tell me a story."
Thomas closed his eyes and told this story: "There were these two Indian boys who wanted to be warriors. But it was too late to be warriors in the old way. All the horses were gone. So the two Indian boys stole a car and drove to the city. They parked the stolen car in front of the police station and then hitchhiked back home to the reservation. When they got back, all their friends cheered and their parents' eyes shone with pride. You were very brave, everybody said to the two Indian boys. Very brave."
"Ya-hey," Victor said. "That's a good one. I wish I could be a warrior."
[From the short story 'This Is What It Means To Say Phoenix, Arizona' by Sherman Alexie in his collection 'The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight In Heaven'.] |
