Mistakes

At the subway when Mercy and Fox were running down the stairs from the cops, they showed a back shot of Mercy and it was clearly another woman. Her hair was about shoulder length and straight. Mercy's hair is longer, and curly. See more...

Trivia

Originally, Fox was supposed to be Mercy's love interest, but the two actors had no chemistry. This resulted in the love interest being changed to Swan, which caused the actor who played Fox to leave film. His death was written in to deal with this. See more...

When the Warriors are being chased by the Turnball A.C.'s, the lady who is with them is running too. She is at the rear along with a Warrior. By the time they get to the subway, they are a good distance back, but by the time the Warriors reach the actual train, she has caught up to them. She is wearing high heels, so there is no way she could have caught up to them: they were running as fast as they could. [At this point in the movie, the Warriors have not yet met the lady (Mercy), so she is not in the scene. However, there is a continuity error as the Fox character keeps changing positions in relation to the other Warriors. Is it possible you are mistaking an out of position Fox for the lady?]
Edit
The Baseball Furies chase the Warriors for about 3 minutes non-stop through the park. Most of this time, the Furies and the Warriors are running as fast as they can, especially the main guy in the front closest to the Warriors. When Ajax and Cowboy of the Warriors finally decide to stop and fight, everybody running comes to a complete stop. The Baseball Furies gang member is not sweating and he's not even breathing hard. I don't know anybody, no matter how fit, who can sprint for 3 minutes and then not even breathe hard. [Watch the scene again a little more carefully. After he knocks Cowboy down, he turns around. There's a shot of him showing his teeth to Ajax and his shoulders are heaving a bit as if trying to catch his breath.]
Edit
During the battle scene in the toilets, at least one member of the rival gang is seen being thrown through a latched toilet door. This means the door would have to have been locked from the inside. Earlier the warriors had emerged from these toilets, so they are not locked, unless during the battle someone went back in the toilets, locking the doors and climbing back out over the top. If the doors were not locked, surely they would just swing open if someone went through them. [The stall doors all open outward (as we see in the beginning of the scene when the gang members all burst out through them). So if a person were being thrown into a closed door from outside the stall, the door would logically break because it would be getting forced in the wrong direction - not because it's locked.]
Edit
When Swan tells the Warriors that they have to go back home, Vermin says, "Coney Island must be fifty to a hundred miles from here." Not only is New York City not that big, but Vermin should know that it's only about 25 miles, since he took the train ride earlier that night. [He is exaggerating. This is not even a character mistake.]

Why invite a largely uncivilised group like the Rogues? Surely one of the other gangs mentioned to the Riffs that they were loose cannons, and likely to betray them. Also, it becomes apparent that not all gangs (e.g. the Orphans) were not invited to the meeting. [The Riffs invited all of the major gangs in the city no matter who they were. Cyrus believed he could change everyone and unite as one big gang. So he was wrong. Character mistake.]
Edit
The 'Punks' are chasing the 'Warriors' through the subway, and end up trapping them in a public bathroom. There is a shot of the outside of the bathroom door showing it to be a flat, featureless door with the word 'MEN' written across it. When the 'Punks' burst through the door, as it is opened, the shot from inside the bathroom now shows the door now has a large vent/grill installed about eye-level, and there is no word 'MEN' on it. [The featureless part that says "MEN" on it is not the door, but it is outside the door so you cannot see inside the bathroom. When you actually see the door, it always has a vent and no words on it. The door is also black and not green like the featureless wooden part.]
Edit
In the confrontation with The Orphans, one of The Warriors uses a petrol bomb that was hanging on a string round his neck, but at the beginning of the film much is made of the fact that they are unarmed. If they made the petrol bomb after the hassle in Central Park then it is a really bad piece of editing/continuity. [In the beginning of the movie they did say they were going in like everybody else, 9 guys with no weapons. But these guys were gang members and there is no way any gang is going to totally follow the "rules". They had to go in there with something. I'm pretty sure there were a lot more gang members, from other gangs, packing weapons.]
Edit
In the scene when Cochise and Snow are talking about going in with nothing, Snow says,"we're going in like everybody else, nine guys and no weapons". There are only eight Warriors....1)Cleon 2)Swan 3)Ajax 4)Snow 5)Cochise 6)Cowboy 7)Rembrandt and 8)Vermin. [The correction is wrong, the ninth Warrior was "The Fox" who was thrown in front of a train by a transit cop.]
Edit
Just before the fight in the subway toilet, Swan and Mercy are being watched from a distance by the rival gang. The rest of the Warriors come down the steps and Swan gestures so that they too can see the rival gang. Why are the rival gang oblivious to the Warriors' presence? Surely this is just line-of-sight. [When Mercy told Swan that the three guys were after him he said that he already knew it. He was playing it cool. It's probable that the gang members were doing the same with the other members of the Warriors, as a slew of other gang members came out of nowhere after the Warriors went into the toilet to wait for the other gang to come in and fight.]
Edit
In the opening sequence when the warriors are on the train, Rembrandt is looking at a map of the train lines on the right of him there is a woman sitting down in a light blue coat, in a later scene when the warriors escape the turnbull A.C's and are on the train Rembrandt checks the map again and the same woman wearing the blue coat is there. [Not necessarily a mistake at all. I see the same people on various trips on the bus all the time - to my destination and back home. It's really not that uncommon.]
Edit
When Ajax is handcuffed to the bench the police officer hits him in the stomach with his club. When Ajax looks up his lip is bleeding. [The blood on his mouth is not from his lip bleeding but blood that has been coughed up as a result of being hit in the stomach with a billy club.]
