Traversing the city at night, from the North Bronx back to Coney Island, this superb, dystopian New York gang-warfare actioner – which was reported to have inspired copy-cat youth vandalism and violence – is told from the point of view of the gangs rather than the custodians of the law. By the mid-1980s, the Scala’s all-nighter audience had memorised every word of it. ‘Can you dig it?’
