They ran so fast and far from the Furies and didn't look tired.


That chase scene where the Furies are chasing the Warriors is ridiculous because they ran so fast and so far and no one from any gang was bent over sucking wind after that? Impossible. Plus they get into some epic battle right after that chase too like nothing happened. My final observation is, how is it possible that the outnumbered and unarmed Warriors defeat all those guys sporting bats no less. I guess like Swan said at the end, they're the best.

Well they had to stop running because Cowboy was out of breath and couldn't make it any farther. Then he was knocked out right away by a Fury because he couldn't fight. They were extremely outnumbered. There were at least 10 Furies to the 4 Warriors. I know that Swan and Snow fell back then sneaked up behind and took one of them out. Ajax took one of the Furies out right away when he and Cowboy stopped running but then Cowboy got knocked out so it was still around 8 on 3 by then. Ajax went 1 one 1 with a Fury while the other stood around and watched. So then it was about 7 on 3. Swan did take bat from the first Fury that they sneaked up behind on and Ajax took the bat from the one Fury that he went 1 on 1 with. Swan and Snow catch up to the main fight and take out 2 more Furies from behind so then it's about 5 on 3 but as you watch the fighting it seems like the other Furies just stand around and wait until their fellow gang members go down before jumping into the fight. If they had all attacked at once the Warriors probably would not have made it out of that fight.

What gets me is all of the Furies along with Cowboy are wearing hats and not one hat flies off anybody's head. I mean...come on.

As for the fight scene, I guess we just need to suspend our disbelief and accept that the Warriors were great fighters and the Furies weren't.

They were probably lousy baseball players, too.

Ajax called it right: "Figured they were wimps."
