Release Date: February 9, 1979 (USA) | Length: 92 min | Genre: Action, Crime, Thriller | MPAA Rating: Unknown | Note(s): I found a lot of images on the internet wrongly crediting Edward Sewer, who played a Gramercy Riff, as being Dennis Gregory, who played Masai. I think the confusion may have started with a post by Gregory’s sister, Elizabeth June Sewer, where she shows a poster from “The Warriors” XBox game (featuring Masai) and then a picture of her brother. Also I couldn’t find a good picture of Hubert Edwards.
