Joe Walsh's "In the City" feels so right at the end. It aptly sums up how the Warriors think and feel about Coney Island after all they have been through.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

My vote would be to have the song "I love livin' in the city" by the 70's punk group "Fear". Now that would have got my blood pumping!

The lyrics very clearly sum up the Warriors existence, and how Swan felt when they finally come home, he looks out over the city and is disappointed and least part of him wants to leave for something better.

I'll save some keystrokes and just say that Whiskey summed it up exactly.

It's the perfect ending song to a fantastic movie. Whoever suggested "The Boys are Back in Town" would be good song too is just dumb.

I get what you're saying. I love the song but when you look back at the rest of the music it doesn't fit. But when you listen to the lyrics it's perfect. Has to be one if my favorite songs from that time period

Someone else had the same idea. Please click on

"In the City" was a great choice, but I've always thought Thin Lizzy's "The Boys are Back in Town" also would have worked very well. In fact, many of Thin Lizzy's songs from the 1975-79 era would have worked fabulously in The Warriors. I wonder if leader/vocalist/bass-player/songwriter Phil Lynott ever saw this movie? He would have loved it!

What do you think would have made a good final song?

It's a decent song, good 70's street vibe to it.

CAN YOU DIG IT?!!! La-La Land Records, Universal Music and Paramount Pictures are proud to present the remastered and expanded soundtrack to the 1979 Paramount Pictures cult classic motion picture THE WARRIORS, starring Michael Beck, James Remar and Deborah Van Valkenburgh, and directed by Walter Hill. The original A&M album presentation has been remastered, with songs from Joe Walsh, Arnold McCuller, Desmond Child and others sounding better than ever. But to top even that, Barry DeVorzons influential original film score finally makes its world premiere, nearly 35 years since the films release (the two score tracks on the original 79 album were uniquely mixed for that release). Some of DeVorzon material presented here was ultimately cut from the film, so fans will get to here these tracks for the very first time. DeVorzons masterful, progressive synch-rock score undoubtedly inspired many filmmakers and composers, from John Carpenter and Harold Faltermeyer to Hans Zimmer and countless others. Produced by Dan Goldwasser and mastered by Mike Matessino, this special release of 3000 units features exclusive, in-depth liner notes from writers Eric Lichtenfeld and Tim Grieving.

I thought it was perfect.

i think it fits great, its not like alot of the electronic musin in the film which is also great but its a very good song for the end and the mood. and i consider it a joe walsh song not an eagles song, but if you do consider it the eagles its really the only eagles song i actually like. and whenever i hear it it makes me think of the warriors, such an amazing film.

That's fine, I suppose everybody's entitled to their own opinion on a verifiable fact. But if you're going to have a dissenting opinion, shouldn't it be something other than simply paraphrasing the comment you're replying to? But wait, there's more!
Only, I was not debating the validity of the posters comment. I was merely pointing out my fault memory.

Clear, concise answer. Verified easily enough with a few keystrokes, but IMDb boards being what they are, someone was bound to disagree:

I was thinking the movie predated the Eagles version of the song.

Vice versa. It says in the credits "In the City" performed by Joe Walsh. It became a Eagles song later on.
So if you know the first poster is right, and the second one disagreed, his argument being the same comment as the first, just rephrased, then it has to be the opposite. Hence the "vice versa", which makes the third comment opposite of the second (and tacitly the first). And just so we're clear that #3 was disagreeing with #2, #3 rephrases #2's post. So, thanks for that.

And it was just the perfect song to end the movie.

In The City, It's by Joe Walsh, he later rerecorded it on the Eagles Long Run album (when Joe was a member) when they were desperate for songs. There's very little difference between the two versions, though there are some.

When I watched the film in the theatre and the end credits rolled up, I got the theme right away. Good song, too.

In the City by The Eagles? Great song. no problem.
