Fox

“	The train would help! Unless you wanna go up there and get japped on an open platform.	„
	~ Fox to his gang members on why they are waiting

Fox was the scout of the Warriors. He was the memory man. Street smart and quick-witted; a perfect scout. He was played and voiced by Thomas G. Waites.

Description[]

Fox is a small, thin, Caucasian male with curly brown hair, blue eyes and a chain around his neck. He wears his Warriors vest buttoned up, unlike the majority of other members of the gang.

Personality[]

Fox is very streetwise and intelligent, knowing many things about all the other gangs. He is also very cautious, preferring to not get into fights, unlike some other members. This makes him an excellent scout. Fox is also very passive, really only showing aggression when calling Mercy a whore, but he shows selflessness towards her in his final moments in which he tells her to leave without him

In The Film[]

Fox was one of the nine Warriors to go to the meeting in the Bronx. He actually witnessed Luther shooting Cyrus and narrowly avoided being shot himself. His next role in the movie was in Tremont negotiating with the Orphans. He actually managed to flatter the Orphans into letting them pass peacefully until Mercy riles them up. When the gang is split up, Fox is attacked by a police officer, and gets into a scuffle, causing him to get tossed on the tracks. Fox was mutilated by a subway train, and died on July 13, 1979.

In The Game[]

Fox joined the Warriors on July 22, 1978, as shown during Flashback D. His initiation was to steal the Savage Huns' loansharking book in Chinatown. Vermin was told to accompany him, due to doubts about his physical abilities. To add to the challenge, both of them had to wear shirts that boldly displayed the phrase "Fuck U Huns!". They were able to get the book, and even beat the Savage Huns' leader, Ghost, in a fight.

When The Orphans, lied about wrecking the Warriors on the radio, Cleon took Fox, and a few rookies, to show them who's tougher. This was shown in Real Heavy Rep. Later in the game, Fox appeared in the same places as the movie; during missions 14 - 16. At the intro for Home Run, he was killed by a train, just like the film showed.

The only times you can play as Fox in Story Mode are Scout's Honor (P1), Real Heavy Rep (P2), Coney free roam after Boys In Blue (P2), and Coney free roam after All-City (P2). This makes him, overall, the least playable Warrior, especially since free roam doesn't fully count. Furthermore, he's even less playable on PSP.

Strangely, Fox appears to have a lot more muscle than in the film.

In The Novel[]

There is no character in the novel that resembles Fox, as the Coney Island Dominators have no scout. However, the fact that his rage capacity is completely maxed, despite him being an overall passive character, is similar to the book's protagonist Hinton, who is said to "go crazy" at times and is quite dangerous when he does.

Jailbreak[]

On the subway ride to the prison, Swan thinks about Fox. Rembrandt tells him that Fox was taken in by a cop, potentially to prevent Swan's from being sad or potentially because he believes he survived.

Fighting Ability[]

Fox's strength comes more from his mental ability, rather than physical. While not a particularly strong fighter, Fox can certainly hold his own in most fights. His rage moves shows that he has knowledge of submissions. He is shown to be skilled enough to defeat the admittedly skilled Savage Huns and their leader Ghost.

His 2-hit knee combo is also used by Destroyers officers. Like Rembrandt, his power move is the weak push, while his rage power move is an equally weak foot-trip move, similar to Deke's power move, and Ghost's secondary power move. However his rage power move is faster than Rembrandt's.

He, Rembrandt, Cowboy and Vermin have a special raging animation, which lasts longer than the standard animation. This can be disadvantageous, especially for Fox and Vermin, as rage time is wasted on waiting for the animation to end. He shares his fight stance with Snow.

He is not playable in Street Brawl.

Trivia[]

Fox was originally supposed to survive the whole film and be Mercy's love interest. However, after a series of disputes between actor Thomas G. Waites and director Walter Hill, Waites was fired from the film. The script was hastily rewritten, with Swan largely taking over Fox's role and a crew member playing Fox in his newly-created death scene. As a result, Waites asked his name to be removed from the credits. Waites and Hill have since made amends.
Out of all the game characters with several models, Fox has the most, with four; Civilian, 'FUCK U HUNS', Warrior, and Ghost. Vermin, Swan, Cleon, Ajax & Lemmy have three. Debbie, Lafonda, Mercy, Ash, Rembrandt, Cowboy, Cochise, Snow, Cyrus, Virgil & Luther have two.
- With 365 characters in Rumble mode, removing all the repeated characters would leave 342 true characters (unless you count Diego, the DJ, Birdie, and Wheels, making it 346).
In the movie script, Fox mentions his real name being Francis Conroy.
He is one out of the three Warriors that don't make it back to Coney, the other two being Cleon and Ajax.
He is one out of the three Warriors that dies, the other two being Cleon and Ash. However, unlike Fox, the other two were beaten to death.
Fox is the only main Warrior in the game to have more than one piece of recorded dialogue for the shadow commands for "LET'S GO" and "HOLD UP". Furthermore, his second "LET'S GO" command for when in hiding sounds very similar to, albeit more whispered than, his (only) regular "LET'S GO" command. Also, he is the only Warrior to have more than one piece of dialogue for one of the "OUT OF RANGE" commands (the 'wrecked' one).
He, Cowboy, Vermin, and Snow are the only Warrior characters to be playable once in story mode as player-one.
In Rumble Mode, Fox's ghost skin always has the standard fighting moves (roundhouse kick, 2-hit finishing moves, etc.), rather than his own. This also happens with Cleon's ghost skin (both in Rumble Mode and in Armies of the Night).
Fox is the only Warrior not to converse in the intro. However, Ajax briefly talks to him, saying "Maybe we'll get to waste a few heads along the way", but this is an error, as he is quickly replaced by Cleon in the next frame, and then put back again for the final frame of the conversation. This was corrected in the game, just putting Cleon in front of Ajax.
Despite being fired from the movie, Thomas G. Waites was able to reprise his role as Fox in the game.
While James Remar is the most successful actor out everybody that played the Warriors, Thomas G. Waites has been a working character actor himself having made several apperances in tv shows and movies including And Justice for All (1979) alongside Al Pacino and John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) which starred Kurt Russell.
