Reply to comment by zZTheEdgeZz in TIL the 1979 cult classic The Warriors was based on the ancient story of the Anabasis, wherein Xenophon and his group of Greek mercenaries attempt to escape from Persia after the death of Cyrus. by kevlarbuns

Also, in the book the Lizzies weren’t an all girl gang like in the movie. But after the director of the Warriors saw The Hunger Games he realized that women could be casted in action roles too.

The Hunger Games wasn't even written until 30 years later. I don't know what the fuck you're on about, but it isn't the truth.

Ah, that makes so much more sense. Apparently she's never seen Alien or La Femme Nikita. Thanks for the explanation; so much better than just mocking me.

I never do. I was into computers before there was public internet. One should never take anything on public forums with too much seriousness.
