TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The Ducky Boys, an actual Bronx gang that was portrayed in the movie, continued in existence through the 1970s. Though portrayed in the movie and Richard Price novel as "killers", neighborhood residents recall the gang as annoying rather than criminal.

Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley was an actual member of The Ducky Boys gang. In his autobiography titled "No Regrets" he recounts his initiation and involvement with the Ducky Boys in his youth.

The gangs whose names are introduced early in the film (including The Wanderers) were based on real street gangs in the New York City area. However, they did not all exist at the same point in time. Many of the Wanderers did actually belong to a local football team, named "The Stingers".

One of a number of 1979 "gang movies," which included Walk Proud (1979), The Warriors (1979), Boulevard Nights (1979) and The Wanderers (1979).

Joey's artwork was done by comic book artist Neal Adams.
