Top 10 Fictional Movie Gangs


three maybe a crowd but it’s also the
beginnings of a kick-ass gang all right
already
I’m hip welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten fictional gangs in movies
this is big time baby
for this list we’re looking at groups of
three or more characters that have
formed or organized themselves into
gangs that really only existed in the
movies
in some cases that’s a bummer and in
others that’s a good thing because
they’re terrifying we’d much prefer the
gangs that would battle you with full
extensions and pirouettes than the type
that would shank you in front of your
mom number ten the Cobras gang would
stand by me this Stephen King story
tells the tale of four young boys who
embark on a journey to find a dead body
in fiberglas dead body like most kids
obviously but they never would have
known about it
if Vern hadn’t overheard his older
brother Billy talking about Ray brower’s
missing corpse the train must hit him
okay Billy is part of the cobra gang led
by ace Merrill who also go on the hunt
[Music]
with their violent and bullying ways
they’re a stark contrast to stand by me
protagonists and while neither group of
boys has to stare down the face of a
murderous clown like the losers club
kids from it finding a dead body is
probably frightening enough on its own
let’s look for some long branches we’ll
build up a stretcher number nine the
go-go dancers faster pussycat kill kill
imma gonna love who is new out who
doesn’t like a gang of no-nonsense go-go
dancers that races cars in the desert
that sounds awesome right you wanna
prove something chickies let’s see who
the real chicken is that is until
they’re literally murdering you and
assaulting your family this 60s
exploitation flick follows a trio of
beautiful ladies who don’t appear to shy
away from crime after challenging a man
and his girlfriend to a race they kill
him and take his girl hostage puppies
stiffen his heap he’s had a bad accident
they then end up at the home of a grows
old man and his beefy but mentally
impaired son now why don’t you drop that
tree you’re holding and let’s grab the
vine and swing a little huh and since
this girl gang isn’t one to be messed
with they make a mess of things while
trying to locate the old man’s britches
[Music]
number eight the Hershey gang escaped
from LA hey long time no see you

map to the stars Eddie yeah well I got
somebody I want Hershey to meet Snake

this follow-up to 1981’s escape from New
York Snake Plissken is back and trying
to escape from things in the newly
formed island of Los Angeles as well as
attempting to retrieve a global weapon
for the wacko president so what are you
gonna do he’s got ten hours to live and
after trying unsuccessfully to retrieve
the weapon snake turns to his friend
carjack Malone for help except carjack
is now Hershey Las Palmas and she runs
with a crew of deadly trans women who
know a thing or two about survival he do
one thing straight to get out no longer

the most drop-dead to-die-for nobody
ever liked that one with the help of her
crew Plissken is able to take down the
opposition and recover the weapon all
while looking fabulous of course
number seven The Lost Boys hook in this
even Spielberg flick Robin Williams
plays a grown-up Peter Pan who has no
recollection of his past in Neverland

lawyer with a family and it’s not until
he visits London and reunites with Wendy
Darling that he’s forced to confront his
previous life Pete don’t you know who
when his children are kidnapped by
Captain Hook his trusty Tinker Bell
leads him back to his childhood friends
The Lost Boys that means Peter Pan he’s
oh Mack so that to me now led by Rufio
this group of kids makes their own rules
and lives life on their terms and
they’re surprisingly formidable in
pirate battles looky looky I dad hooky
number six the droogs a Clockwork Orange
that is Alex and my three dreams there’s
nothing like a gang of roving sociopaths
to make you want to swear off humanity
in this 1971 classic Malcolm McDowell
plays Alex DeLarge the leader of a group
of petty teenage criminals the droogs
as they’re known spend their time
getting high assaulting people hooking
up with girls and wearing all white
in spite of all that and the fact that
they basically paralyzed a dude and
sexually assaulted his wife they seem to
evade the police at least most of them
do breathing that’s where after Alex is
arrested he is forced to undergo
mind-control experiments but at least
we’ll always have the memories of his
eyeliner number five the greasers The
Outsiders a gang comprised of Rob Lowe
Tom Cruise Emilio Estevez and Ralph
Macchio seems like they might just act
you to death but these guys are tougher
than they appear in this drama their
characters are joined by see Thomas
Howell
Patrick Swayze and Matt Dillon to form
the greasers a bunch of bad boys from
the wrong side of the tracks seems like
it’s gotta be so pleased that grazers
sotius when one of them accidentally
kills a kid from their rival gang their
conflicts transform from occasionally
adversarial to all-out warfare and while
they may look like a band of hooligans
at first blush they save kids from
burning churches too so they’re not all
bad
number four the natives gangs of new
york back before manhattan was all
yuppies and Cosmopolitan’s it was the
site of some of america’s grittiest

your order column but in spite of the
chaos around them the natives stay
committed to their goal of fighting the
Irish until their deaths number three
the t-birds Greece that’s cool baby this
gang of teenagers is a far cry from some
of the more rapacious and murderous
crews on our list
instead these greasers prefer to slick
their hair down singing dance numbers
and chase girls I did that I didn’t need
this one shake she said she was sort of
cool she puts out led by John Travolta’s
Danny Zuko the t-birds Don matching
leather jackets similar hairstyles and
court the Pink Ladies their companion

they spend most of their time singing
and dancing they also engage in
high-stakes street races with their
rival gang the scorpions is it fan of

least no one ends up dead
number two the Warriors this 70s cult
flick follows the story of a
rough-and-tumble Street gang named the
Warriors who are framed for the death of
another powerful gangs leader this means
they have to make it through the streets
of New York without getting killed by
the multitudes of rival gangs like The

in the midst of their rivalry is a love
story

I’ll never stops obviously their gang
affiliations make their romance a little

broken hearts worn out dance shoes and a
gunshot victim by West Side story’s end
