Rarely do you find such realism, attention to detail and replication of real-life situations and common sense committed to film, as is the case with Young Warriors. Of course, what I mean by that is that this film is devoid of all of those things and, instead, offers an overdose of 80's Hollywood hogwash mixed with brainless violence and machismo. Personally, I love garbage like this, never tire of it, and as a kid I would eat this stuff up, enjoying the pointless nudity and violence while marveling at how dumb the whole thing was and even wondering if, possibly, some guy out there existed who really thought trash like this was truly GOOD.
It's like a bunch of executives were sitting around the table one day and were like, "OK, we don't have any new ideas and we need a movie. How about we mash up some of the popular movies from the last few years into one movie and see if it flies?" Finally, one guy speaks up and says, "Hell, how about Red Dawn mixed with Animal House and Death Wish?" The guy was instantly hailed as a genius and the result is this utterly ridiculous and entertaining-as-hell slab of dumbassitude that never gets old. I never tire of garbage like this and it always puts a smile on my face. Yeah, it's pure junk and it's easy to see how some people can hate it, but these sorts of films are a special niche for some of us and Young Warriors rocks in that regard. Dumbass, 80's revenge sleaze at it's finest.
