## Description

Amid a brooding rock & roll landscape, the Bombers motorcycle gang, led by the vicious Raven Shaddock (Willem Dafoe), kidnap diva Ellen Aim (Diane Lane). Her hope for rescue lies with unlikely heroes: soldier of fortune Tom Cody (Michael Pare) and his sidekick, the two-fisted beer-guzzling, McCoy (Amy Madigan). Joined by Ellen's manager, Billy Fish (Rick Moranis), the trio plunge headfirst into a world of rain-splattered streets, hot cars and deadly assassins. This cult-hit features a razor-sharp cast and original songs written by Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty and Ry Cooder and performed by such greats as The Blasters and The Fixx. Streets of Fire is a rock & roll shotgun blast to the senses.

Review: A neon-lit journey through a bygone era for the rebel spirit in all of us! - As a child of the 80s, Streets of Fire catapults me back to a time when neon lights clashed with leather jackets, and every street corner seemed to pulse with the rhythm of rock 'n' roll. This film is a love letter to the era's unique blend of raw energy and unapologetic style, wrapped in a thrilling tale of romance and redemption. From the moment the opening credits roll against the backdrop of a gritty urban landscape, you're transported into a world where music isn't just background noise—it's the beating heart of the narrative. The electrifying performances by Diane Lane as the fiery songstress Ellen Aim and Michael Paré as the brooding hero Tom Cody are nothing short of mesmerizing. Their chemistry crackles on screen, fueling a quest through the dangerous streets to rescue Ellen from the clutches of the sinister biker gang leader, Raven (portrayed with menacing charm by a very young Willem Dafoe). What truly sets Streets of Fire apart is its seamless fusion of genres. It's part action-packed thriller, part rock opera, and all 80s cool. The soundtrack, featuring iconic tracks like "Nowhere Fast" and "I Can Dream About You," propels the story forward with a pulse-pounding beat that mirrors the characters' relentless drive. Director Walter Hill's vision of a dystopian urban landscape is both gritty and visually striking, a perfect backdrop for the larger-than-life characters who inhabit it. The cinematography captures the neon-lit streets and shadowy alleys with a stylized flair that feels both nostalgic and timeless. As a fan of 80s cinema, Streets of Fire delivers everything I could ask for and more. It's a film that doesn't just entertain; it transports you to a world where every moment pulses with excitement and every chord strikes a chord deep within. Whether you're drawn in by the music, the action, or the sheer charisma of its stars, this is a movie that leaves an indelible mark—a reminder of a time when cinema dared to be bold and unapologetically cool. Streets of Fire isn't just a film; it's a neon-lit journey through a bygone era that continues to resonate with the rebel spirit in all of us. Strap in, turn up the volume, and let the magic of Streets of Fire ignite your imagination once again.
Review: Excellent Release - I saw “Streets of Fire” on its first release at the Empire Leicester Square in London. Its huge screen and amazing sound system did justice to this film that is eye candy for the senses and made for a stunning experience. Although the film did not gather the praise and box office returns it deserved on first release, especially in the USA, it’s great to see that through home video it has gained such a cult status and appreciation. The film is visually stunning, set in some amazing undefined past era with the screen bathed in neon light. Like Walter Hill’s previous film “The Warriors”, this owes less to the real world and far more to graphic novels. With “Streets of Fire” it even borrows its main story from the western genre and its anti-hero is dressed in a coat that looks like it came from Hill’s western “The Long Riders”. The dialogue is stylised as is the acting with its cast doing a great job. Michael Pare looks great and plays the role as the somewhat dumb anti-hero with his heart in the right place exactly as the part needed. Diane Lane looks tremendous as the female lead especially during the stage sequences: the climactic scene in that red dress is awesome! Willem Defoe is terrific as the villain though I have never warmed to the idiosyncratic clothing he wore. The film has a really visceral climatic fight sequence with sledge hammers. The film’s back bone is its awesome music that drives the film. Apart from the very effective songs, the score by the wonderful Ry Cooder is excellent: it’s a pity so little of his score has ever been released on CD. The Earlier UK blu ray release was an awful disappointment. The picture was far too grainy. There was also a fundamental problem with the 5.1 sound: nothing out of the rear channels! Shout Factory’s new release is far better than the UK version. The picture is as good as you could expect from an 80’s film. The 5.1 mix is well-reproduced, with those amazing wipes swishing round the rears, but don’t expect it to sound as good and well-defined as a modern film. All of the UK extras are included on the second disc plus a brand new 100 minute documentary. Although there is some duplication with the UK 80 minute documentary, there is plenty new to make it worth seeing both. An excellent release from Shout.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Streets of Fire(Collector's Edition) A Must!!!
*by T***7 on August 5, 2017*

Walter Hill has always been one of my all time favorite directors. Not since Sam Peckinpah, has there been a more fantastic action director then he. From his 70's films, "The Driver(1978)" and "The Warriors(1979)" til his classic 80's films the western, "The Long Riders(1980)", "Southern Comfort(1981)", and his most commercial success: "48hrs(1982)". I always felt that "Streets Of Fire" was his most underrated and his one of my personnel favorites of his. This film has one of the great 80's soundtracks ever, right up there with "Beverly Hills Cop" and "Risky Business". There are songs written by Jim Steinman who wrote Meatloaf's classic "Bat Out Of Hell" album, the late great Dan Hartman with the wonderful "I Can Dream About You"(If that song doesn't define the 80's, I don't know what does?), and other music performed by The Blasters, Ry Cooder, and The Fixx with that kick ass end theme song, "Deeper and Deeper". The night time photography is terrific by cameraman, Andrew Laszlo who also shot Hill's "The Warriors", and of course Walter Hill has great actions scenes throughout the film: the sledge hammer fight between Michael Pare and Willem Dafoe. is tops. The story line maybe simple but at the same time, so unique: An Alternate world, taking place perhaps in the future trapped between a rock and roll set fifties era, and a female rock star Ellen Aim(Diane Lane) is kidnapped by the motorcycle gang, The Bombers led by the vicious, Raven(Willem Dafoe). Her only hope for rescue lies with her ex-boyfriend, soldier of fortune Tom Cody(Michael Pare), his hard drinking sidekick, McCoy(Amy Madigan) and Ellen's manager Billy Fish(the very funny Rick Moranis). I had an old dvd copy of this film, this new blu-ray Collector's Edition enhances the film even more, with a new 2k scan copy of the film, two awesome documentaries: "The Making Of Streets Of Fire" and "Rumble On The Lot: Walter Hill's Streets Of Fire Revisited", Vintage Featurettes and music videos. If you love this film enough like me or a fan of Walter Hill in general, this blu-ray edition is a must. Highly recommended!!
