There was a really inspiring 2015 topic made by Samovar mentioning some sightings from this really Great 1979 Movie , The Warriors . It is a must see for anyone if you havent seen it until now. Here is a link for it : http://www.stereo2go.com/topic/index.php?content_oid=457856796085809004&board_oid=193392314111653362 It was only 3 days ago since i found a JVC RC-828L so i m going to use the exact words used by my dearest friendwhen he made the topic since what he presented is well thought and said. The Warriors, from the acclaimed 1965 novel by Sol Yurick, is a cult movie directed by Walter Hill in 1979. Modeled after Xenophon's Anabasis (circa 370 BC), where an army of Greek mercenaries at the service of Cyrus the Great wins its way back home from Persia, this dystopian tale of the New York gangs is twice told via the radio. Literally, because the pace of the movie is punctuated by the threatening on-air messages of a woman DJ. Symbolically, because at some point the broadcast is transmogrified into the close-up of a boombox:JVC RC 828 L So here are some pictures of what can be seen at the movie : I didnt know about the movie until then but since i saw it , it became an instant favourite. It depicts a New York City from another time and the storyline is so strong but i wont spoil it if you want to see it ! I already had the Soundtrack of this movie in Vinyl so i was waiting for the JVC RC-828L to come up and it did. Some pics i took on purpose for the ocassion :
Hi Deech, thannks for sharing these pictures. Now i am interested to see this movie. Is the red trim original? It is different when is compared with the one in the movie. It looks like in both units red tape applied to that part, How about the handle? I have the same concern.
Great movie Deech, I just watched it for the millionth time on cable a few weeks ago but I totally blanked out seeing the box. If you haven't seen Escape From New York, 1981, check that out for sure, same vibe but 10x better.
Boodokan its not the same box as in the movie. I just tried to make it look like that one with red tape applied at the same spots, as for the movie i definitely suggest you to see it. I will watch ''Escape from New York'' tonight . Thanks for the suggestion Mister X. i really love this kind of movies.
John Carpenter wrote/directed Escape From New York, he also did the film score, great synth mood music.
Speedy2.0 just liked this which is weird because I was talking with a friend about this movie yesterday at the local outdoor hockey tournament where every team had their own unique jerseys, I said it looked like a scene from The Warriors.
