Actually the movie was based on the real life gang filled streets of NYC back in the 1980's. of course the costumes were extra but you get the picture, usually people who were raised in NYC in the 80's understand this movie. A remake of this movie wont work cause the gang stuff has dwindled down nowadays. back in those gang days, there was always territory wars with gangs, just like how this movie plays out on the big screen...
