Formula: Take one fairly cool cult classic B movie and add 2 parts Scotland and 1 part Van Damme karate moves, stir well.
I looked this movie up after watching it on starz movie channel to see if the director/writer was the same guy who made one of my favorite movies, "The Warriors". The plot was so similar that I couldn't believe anyone else wrote it. A guy summons all the gangs together under a truce to form one gang to rule them all. I swear I expected the guy to say at some point in a Scottish accent, "Can you DIIIIIG it!"
The Purifiers are a gang invited by a guy named Moses to come under truce to a meeting. At the meeting the Purifiers decide that they don't want to join the super gang and they must fight to get back home. In their way are the gangs that did decide to join, theme gangs like a hockey gang (Baseball gang from Warriors), a skater gang (Roller Skate gang in warriors), and on and on. The Purifiers all split up to meet back at the subway (direct ripoff) and then...well I give up. I stopped watching soon after the point that the head guy from the Purifier's went back to save his captured men.
Forget this movie and watch The Warriors. You will thank me.
