The B&B Presents: Gang Colours
This Sunday is going to be a bit different from previous Sundays, and before that Mondays, in that we are going to program both films that BJ has seen before, but it’s OK because I have not. This double bill is all about the Gang War…so… Come out and Playyy….7:00 pm
Switchblade Sisters (1975) USA
“Mothers... lock up your sons. The Switchblade Sisters are coming!”
From the director of Coffy and Foxy Brown, so you know it’s gotta be a girl gang movie of the highest caliber and with a bit of stylistic charm to boot. It focuses on the “Dagger Debs” a snarling ladies auxiliary of the “Silver Daggers”. Both are embroiled with infighting and defending their turf from rival gangs and the new threat of a community action team.
9:00 pm
The Warriors (1979) USA
“There are Armies of The Night. They are 100,000 strong. They outnumber the cops five to one. They could run New York City. Tonight they're all out to get the Warriors.”
The gangs of New York all seem to be wearing themed costumes in this late 70s battle royale from the point of view of a small time gang that has been set up in the killing of one of the major gang bosses in the city. They have to face off with Yankees themed rogues holding baseball bats, Roller Derby punks, and of course the gang of Marcel Marceau Mimes.
Extra points for those who come in costume for any themed gang - real, fictional, ridiculous, or a mixture of all three.
