But what impressed me most was the end of an era feeling as the carefree days of the early 1960s give away to the assassination of JFK....the teenage Wanderers move into adult hood as the music style changes and we see a silhouetted Bob Dylan singing The Time They Are a Changin'...Indeed they would....

Veteran Wanderer Richie (Ken Wahl) is our guide in all of this, a young man who very much enjoys the privileges of gang life like partying and copping feels and who also has a keen eye on what the future holds, the main arbiter of it being the silent, mysterious and real gang I haven't mentioned yet....

So B-movie fans may find some John Carpenter charm involving movies like Escape from New York or Assault on Precinct 13, but its movies like this that make me really wish for a hood movie that actually gives development to the whole gang.
