This is a crazy one since it's a kung-fu/blaxploitation movie filmed in New York city but they also mix in a monster-on-the-loose plot featuring a bug-eyed creep who transforms into a hulking creature that sorta reminded me of THE OILY MANIAC. It starts off with a bunch of monks getting their heads lopped off in China then moves to our hero in NYC who wears gold bell-bottoms while chop-sockying. It really is something to witness.
After the success of THE WARRIORS this was re-released as GANG WARS to capitalize on that. While there are a few scenes of a Chinese gang vs. a black gang it's not really very similar to THE WARRIORS and a much odder cinematic experience.
This GANG WARS trailer totally ignores the fact that there's a demonic monster in the movie!:
