Corrected entry: 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.

The Warriors (1979)
Correction: It was a line of sight, alongside perspective. That gang was the Punks. Mercy told Swan they were looking for him. And we could see that their focus was on him, even when the other Warriors showed up. The Punks may or may not have noticed the others, due the poles or station wall (line of sight) as Swan was gesturing to them. When he and Mercy start walking behind them toward the men's room, The Punks follow, and they never take their eyes off Swan.
Let's not forget the other Punks that were in hiding until after the Warriors start making their way to the bathroom. The three members that they see definitely know they're there and are being just like Swan in playing it cool. They're not concerned because they have backup from the other members that are in hiding.

Correction: 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.
