Today is Walter Hill’s birthday so what better day to share one of the greatest musical montages ever? In the Nowhere To Run montage from The Warriors, a radio DJ lets every gang in New York City know that they are all now hunting for the same group of people.  What I love about this montage is how the gangs grow increasingly flamboyant as the montage continues.  We go from seeing relatively normal-looking gang members to a bunch of people dressed up like a phantom baseball players.  It’s quite a progression!

From Walter Hill’s 1979 film, The Warriors, here is a scene that I love!
