You know those jokes they made about Errol Flynn when he got older? If you watch Adventures of Don Juan, you'll think those people were mean to say he couldn't get over playing Robin Hood. If you watch The Warriors, you'll still think they were mean, but you'll understand why Flynn got that reputation. So, don't watch The Warriors.
Unlike the other swashbucklers he made when he had a few miles on him, like Don Juan and Crossed Swords, this one isn't tongue-in-cheek. That little bit of sarcasm makes all the difference in the world. If actors prance around obvious sets in cheap costumes reciting lines from a lousy script and try to take themselves seriously, it's a lot different than if they do it with a twinkle in their eyes. This one's pretty sad to watch, so you're better off watching an earlier movie with the dashing swashbuckler.
