Interesting contemporary factoid about this movie: Ronald Reagan loved it and had it screened in the White House for him.
It’s fascinating that the race baiting, “tough on crime” conservative would love a work romanticizing urban gang members and their daily struggles. Perhaps, on some level as a young man who came of age during the Great Depression and who came from a working class family back then, he could relate in some way.

Reagan was a shit Prez, but as an actor first, he liked a good movie.

He just liked watching sweaty mens. In tight leather vests. Running all thru that dirty city. Oogah
