The Hurricanes (gang)

The Hurricanes (gang)

The Hurricanes are a fictional gang from the 1979 cult film "The Warriors". They also appeared in the 2005 video game "The Warriors". The Hurricanes' turf is East Harlem, and they are bitter rivals of the West Harlem Boppers. The Hurricanes' usual hangout is the Stripes and Solids billiard hall.

The members of the Hurricanes are heavily tattooed. "Soldiers" wear white muscle-shirts (or no shirts at all) with bowler hats and matching trousers. Lieutenants also wear short-sleeved blue shirts. Their warchief Sanchez wears a short-sleeved brown shirt. The Hurricanes are mostly Hispanic, of either Puerto Rican or Cuban heritage. They have over 80 members. None of them are shown in great detail throughout the film.

Like Satan's Mothers and the Turnbull AC's, the Hurricanes have two overlords, both of whom are very muscular, heavily tattooed and over 6 feet tall. Diego is 6'3", shirtless and wears blue jeans. Vargas is 6'4" and wears a white vest, a mohawk haircut and a mustache.

The Hurricanes are seen in the film walking down a subway platform during the intro and later at Cyrus' meeting. The Hurricanes appear in level 7 of the video game, in which The Warriors go to Spanish Harlem to get money owed to them by Sanchez. A conflict ensues and The Warriors become surrounded, eventually fighting their way out.
