The Rogues (gang)

The Rogues (gang)

The Rogues are one of the main gangs in the 1979 cult film "The Warriors". They also appeared in the 2005 video game "The Warriors". Their turf was Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, until the Gramercy Riffs cornered them for assassinating Cyrus. The Rogues' later whereabouts have never been specified.

The Rogues dress like 1950s greasers. They wear deep blue leather jackets, with their logo - a hooded grim reaper in chains - embroidered on the back. Rogues also wear greaser hats with matching jeans. The Rogues' temporary warlord is Crazy Luther, who killed Cyrus merely because "I just like doing stuff like that!" Luther's warchief (deputy leader) is Cropsey.

In the film, the Rogues are the gang responsible for the shooting of Cyrus, which they pinned on The Warriors. This resulted in The Warriors being hunted down by the Gramercy Riffs. Near the end of the film, the Rogues are proven guilty by an unnamed witness. In the video game, The Rogues follow the same storyline as the film, but you are introduced to them earlier on, via cut scenes before and after certain missions. At the beginning of "Boys In Blue" for example, you discover how their Luther got the gun and police badge in the first place. The cut scenes show more of Luther's character and mentality, and also the bullying of another member of the gang. At various points in the game, Luther is seen speaking to an unknown person on a payphone, however, portions of his conversation imply that some had put Luther up to killing the cop to retrieve the gun and badge, as well as the assassination of Cyurs. In the game, Rogues are encountered in "Blackout" alongside the Moon Runners, Panzers and Baseball Furies. They are encountered a second time in "Come Out to Play," this level re-creates the climatic Hearse chase and final fight between Luther and Swan. The fight, however, is longer in the game, it starts with a one-on-one fist fight between the two, then, after being severely beaten, Luther hides behind a fence on the beach and shoots at Swan and Snow. The battle eventually ends when, as in the film, Mercy gives Swan a knife to throw at Luther. During the game's closing credits, the player takes control of the Gramercy Riffs and is able to waste the Rogues.
