Warriors, come out and paaaaaaay.

A stuntman in the New York City cult-classic film “The Warriors,” about a Coney Island gang trying to make it home alive from The Bronx, claims that his face is famous but not because of the 1978 movie.

Bennie Harding alleges in a suit filed in Manhattan federal court that Paramount Pictures and Viacom used his image without permission when they created a 2005 video game based on the movie.

Now 53, the Brooklyn native was just 19 when he played a gang member.

The father of six had forgotten about the movie, Harding says, until his teenage son played the video game one day.

“My 14-year-old son recognized me. I looked at the packaging of the game, I saw my image on Page 32, and, right away, right away, I knew it was me,” he told The Post.

Harding is seeking unspecified damages.
