The meeting[]
See also: The Warriors (Film), Desperate Dudes
The Masai were not present at the meeting.
In The Film[]
The Masai are a gang originally mentioned by Mercy in her dialogue about every gang soldiering in to The Orphans' turf in the movie script. They aren't listed as having appeared at the meeting, so they are most likely not on The Gramercy Riffs' network.
Trivia[]
- Their name seems to have been used in the game, to name Masai, the Riff's new leader. The character has since been given this name in the comic book Jailbreak and the concept album Warriors.
- Dennis Gregory is credited as 'Masai' in the film, but Edward Sewer played Masai and he wasn't named until the game. This was possibly a credit for a member of the gang.
- In the script, the guy with black shirt and an eagle tattoo who witnesses Cyrus' assasination and informs the Riffs is identified as a Masai gang member.
