Can you count, suckahs?

So THAT'S what Cyrus was doing at the beginning of The Warriors! Obviously then the whole movie was a dream - I mean think about it - being chased through surreal empty New York locations by oddly-dressed gang members to 80's music...

Obviously he was trying to make them all lucid, and that's why the one guy shot him - he was just a DC trying to prevent lucidity. Then the dream degenerated into a nightmare... makes perfect sense, why didn't I see it before??!!
