[garybrownfie]

Did the good captain PUT HIS FOOT IN ANYONE'S ASS you think?

[MonsterCrypt]

@garybrownfie LOL I knew that was him!

[Whoizcasper]

Staring Tracy Scoggins as...... Tracy

[chickenpotpie97]

this was a warriors spinoff u can tell anyway 6 warriors and mercy survived and in the renegades there is 6 fellas and a woman

[greywolfone1]

I used to love this show and was mad ass hell when it got cancelled! No one believes me when I tell them about this show though. lol. Glad I found it on here. Thanks so much for posting!!

[sonaliegh]

Did "Dancer" really do the "run my fingers through my hair" move? This is sooooo eighties......and I love it!!!! And these names? WTF? It may not be a spin-of of The Warriors but it sure as hell was "inspired" by it.

[starwarsrebel2006]

Man I remember this show from the early eighties. Didn't last very long but was fun while it lasted. And the hairstyles. Me and all my friends had hair like that, lol.

[Banner1979]

Didn't know Clarence Boddicker was in this.

[karlenfan]

Warriors-come out to play!!!

[Lexx2]

AWESOME!!!!! No, really.  :)

[americanfighter82]

Cool Intro....

[rickboy03]

nice...all you can get in a tv show...the typical blond white american, the black guy, the chinesse guy, the gay guy (dancer), the hot chick, the chinesse guy and the latino guy....:D

[tonyvsanto]

fausto bara...magnifico!

[ChuckRage72]

Fucking Wikipedia told me this was a spin-off of the Warriors. Doesn't look bad though.

RIP Swayze, WOLVERINES!

[MrDeeDew]

@ChuckRage72 I read the same thing on wiki lol thats why I looked this up haha!!!

[speedbuggy]

@ChuckRage72 It wasn't a spinoff, just inspired by The Warriors.

[Jamester2]

What's the name of that song?

[digital2500]

This actually was not a terrible show. Along with Patrick Swayze and Tracy Scoggins, the show had Brian Tochi, who was a talented child actor and was in a great episode of Star Trek (And the Children Shall Lead), did a number of cartoon voices (Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan for example) and was in Space Academy on CBS!

[t5y665yrty56]

for another good theme check out man called hawk

[Grizzlywolf9]

This was a good show that got cancelled way to soon back in the 80's. It was even better than the TV movie they made of The Renegades that this show was based on.

[jedisista]

thank the maker and whomever posted this. I've been waiting since they took it off the air! Man I wish this was on dvd

[junebug565]

This is so cool.I remember watching this show when I was in high school and I have been waiting for somebody to post clips of this show and the music.And finally somebody did,I wish there was more.This show is where I saw Patrick Swayze for the first time and thought he was most handsome guy

[tvpirate05]

RIP Patrick...sweet theme song.

[mapyblue]

ciao Bandit

[digipeeper]

P.S. this show has elements from The Warriors and the Mod Squad of course.

[digipeeper]

This series shoulf have at least lasted 2 seasons. I guess it was mediocre where as NBC or whoever just killed it. RIP Pat, WE WILL MISS YOU.

[SeriouslyMcMIllan]

Patrick Swayze was a great actor. I hate that he had to pass away this way. The Renegades got me in trouble because I would watch it and not do my homework. LOL

[salsadoc1]

MAN - I loved this show... I first fell in love with patrick swayze watching this before he was famous... didn't know these clips even existed! RIP....

[digital2500]

RIP Patrick Swayze!

[SolemanMT]

I thought I imagined this show lol. I'm glad to see people remember great shows like this.

[unusualawesome]

Wasn't that Red Foreman as the cop?

[SFFOOL76]

yes

[mobiusjones]

I came.

[Gregie11]

Kurtwood Smith...yeah :D

[yessongs1]

Looks like the sweathogs on a weekend fling! Where is Mr. Kotter when you need him??

[Jdub14000]

Neato.

[shannonD68]

I remember this show like it was yesterday. I saw Randy Brooks in a lot of things in the

80's, (even on a Soap), but then he started doing more commercials. When I finally saw Patrick Swayze again in Ghost, I remembered him only from this show.

[ChainsawFPW]

Amazing. The look that Kurtwood Smith has on his face is legend.

[tbaker138]

I remember as a 2nd grader being crushed when they cancelled this show. We used to play Renegades at recess, I was always JT.

[a1ez11]

does this take place in the warriors unvierse but with diff characters and diff gang

[xgianforever]

wow i grow up with this :)

[CIApunisher916]

Of course the asian dude has to know martial arts.

[BuySatelliteTVNow]

This was one those shows that was good but got canceled before you could really get into it

[CyprusCorners]

I bow to you sir. This one has been on the list of must find before I die for as long as I can remember.

I even had the theme taped (old school audio cassette)and used to play it like a regular song (cus I was cool at 12 ya know).

[freedomsong006]

was this a warriors spin off?

[lastboyscout002]

More like 21 Jump Street.

[Gaur1983]

21 Jump Street came out in 1987The.Warriors and Escape from New York were probably the late seventies/early eighties influences. :)

[webmasterd]

I remember this show when I was a little kid. The pilot was a lot better than the series. I believe Michael Beck played Swayze's character.

[Kartissa]

Michael Beck was in 'The Warriors'.

The pilot for this series, called simply 'The Renegades', starred the same actors for Bandit (Swayze), JT, Eagle and the two cops. The others were played by different people.

The music was the same, although the title credits were an awesome electric pink, which actually looked better than it should have.

(Beginning to sound like an anorak now, so I'll stop it there....)

[webmasterd]

really? could've swore Michael Beck (warriors is the greatest movie btw ;) was in the pilot. Oh well. It funny to see the guy from Revenge of the Nerds as Dragon! lol.

[joker3092]

best tv intro ever????? you need to look a little more hard,not even close,b.a.d. cats is even better than this one.

[Castroph]

Friggin' epic.

[sonicmonkey123]

Gaucho was badass

[MasterZaihos]

That is....the most rad thing I've ever seen.

[Youindia]

Huh, guess they couldn't cme up with a name for Tracy's character...

[Kartissa]

Sure they could. In the pilot, Tracy was played by Cheryl Paris, who should have been in a lot more shows than she was. (Including this series, imo)

[driver3464]

@Youindia No, they just changed actress's between the pilot movie and the series. THe original was a gal named Cheryl Paris.

[IhateGorgeousGeorge]

Renegades come out to play!
