The Warriors: Ranking Every Gang Worst To Best

13. The Orphans

Everyone loves an underdog, and the hopelessly tragic outfit that is the Orphans are certainly that.

One of the gangs featured more heavily in the movie, the Orphans are a representation of New York's smaller gangs.

Their territory is Tremont, and after escaping the Turnbull ACs, the Warriors find themselves needing to cross the Orphans' turf. Although initially the Orphans are happy to let the Warriors cross to avoid a fight with the stronger gang, they are then goaded into hostility by Mercy.

Despite their larger numbers, the Orphans aren't a match for the Warriors. Their place on the list comes from equal parts pity and respect for their role in the story, serving as our first real evidence that the Warriors are the baddest bunch in the city.
