The original film does not have that narration. The Directors cut has that.

That's The Wanderers. You're close though. Came out same year I think.

That's from the newer directors cut with that crappy comic book panel between scenes. So not really everyone who seen the film knows this and the longer directors cut is worse than the theatrical version.
