Street Warriors (original title Perros callejeros) is a Spanish film from 1977 directed by José Antonio de la Loma [es], known for being the first film of the cine quinqui ("delinquency cinema") genre that was popular in Spain at the end of the 1970s and in the 1980s.
[2][3][4][1][5] The story is inspired by the adventures of the famous delinquent Juan José Moreno Cuenca [es] (1961–2003; also known as el Vaquilla).
[1] Fernando Trueba writing for El País said that while the cinematography was terrible that the film had a strong feel of authenticity.
[7] Cinemanía describes the film as having aged very badly, while still being a good reflection of the times.
[3] Perros callejeros is the first in a trilogy:[1] In total the director made a series of five quinqui films.
