Which gangs were not invited? Would a coded gang radio station have worked in 1979? How long did Swan and Mercy stay together? What happened to Ajax? Did the Riffs kill Luther?
Which gangs were too weak to be invited was already covered; whether a DJ communicating in code to gangs would have worked in 1979 or whether the police would have simply listened is asked, with the defense that it is underground and nobody talks.
The DJ is the most clever part of the movie for solving how to reach everyone at once, and the shot of Lynn Thinkpen's (as transcribed) mouth against pink-red light dropping the needle is slick.
How long Swan and Mercy stayed together: maybe a week, tops, since Coney is far, and he needed to see her after a shower.
Ajax is probably dead within three years, going to jail and then shot in an armed robbery; the alternative where he grows up to be the rich guy from Sex and the City is enjoyed.
Later, whether the Riffs killed Luther at the end is called an unanswerable question; one host thinks they killed him slowly over many days in that dark cement parking garage compound.
The hedged blanket answer is probably everybody in the movie except James Remar, whose peak was 48 Hours or arguably Sex and the City, with Mortal Kombat 2 floated as a joke.
Lynn Thigpen's peak is Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego, Sesame Street or Lean on Me; Terry Michos's might be his newscaster gig in Wappinger Falls.
Remar lived in one host's LA neighborhood; another interviewed him and found him the most straight-talking, hard-edged subject ever, swearing mid-sentence for no reason, recounting 'you got to remember when you're an actor, it's a lot of work'.
Mercedes Rue (as transcribed), the undercover cop, became somebody and was Oscar-nominated, the hosts think for The Fisher King, and played the mom in Big; she is hard to recognize here because she is so young.
