when the movie ended I expected a big reveal of a conspiracy, collusion actually of maybe one of the warriors and Luther to kill Cyrus, but nothing. so who did he keep phoning in and explaining the details of the night?
shareThis is discussed by the script writers and Walter Hill in Sean Egan's book Can You Dig It: The Phenomenon of The Warriors, and two answers are given, one is that Luther is on the payroll of the Mafia and is ordered by them to waste Cyrus, to eradicate the threat of the gangs overtaking the city, which would affect their business interests, his polite conversation on the phone could be interpreted as a code to confirm the deed was done in case of phone tapping, "I was just checking in. Yeah it was a real mess up there. This guy Cyrus had a accident"...
The second answer is he was talking to the DJ.
the only actual person I can think of where Luther called is the black radio DJ. makes sense if you pay attention
shareI don't know if it's been said before but, what is Luther was undercover cop or wirking for the police?
