The Wanderers

This 1979 coming of age film is a cult classic, only released on DVD over the last few years. Set in 1963 New York, to a score of great tracks like Stand By Me, Shout and of course — The Wanderer, it glimpses the male journey into adulthood. Themes of brotherhood, loyalty, responsibility, rebellion, prejudice and racial tensions are played out through the tribal center of gangs.

Lawrence was the martial art fight consultant for this film — and was one of the Wong gang members. It is running on television this month. Look for it beginning January 5th on the HDNet Movie Channel — or check your cable network. Can you spot him in this fight scene? Hint: look for the spinning back fist and later, the sweeping take down.
