Editorial Review
Walter Hill's updated (1984), highly stylized take on biker movies still looks like a determinedly eccentric project that happens to work at times, but not at others. Michael Paré plays a biker who agrees to rescue his ex-girlfriend (a rocker played by Diane Lane) from kidnappers (led by Willem Dafoe). The ensuing battle against a nocturnal background of industrial blight, chrome, and loud music is like some fever dream of a Springsteen fan who listened to the song "Born to Run" far too often. The audacity of the film carries it a long way even after it becomes clear that Hill's experiment is crumbling under its own weight. Dafoe, who looked even spookier back then than he does now, is memorable, as are Amy Madigan and Rick Moranis. Music is by Ry Cooder, with an appearance by the Blasters. The DVD release has a widescreen presentation, optional French soundtrack, optional Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh

Entertaining 2008-09-02

Great Purchase 2008-08-24
The movie I Bought was delivered fast and came in perfect condition. Excellent choice buy in Amazon. THANKS!!


What A Memory!! 2008-07-14
This is one of those cheesy little movies that todays audience just wouldnt get. Of course, Diane Lane is just too hot for words, even today, but look at the other actors in this movie who went on to much bigger thnigs (Willem Dafoe, Michael Pare, and Rick Moranis were all great in this movie). And then theres a lesser known actor named Stoney Jackson, who never made it as big as he should have. Look for others in the background that you may recognize.

The music is the star of this movie! If you arent moving from the first tune, you just dont know how to appreciate music. Jim Steinman is a master composer and it shines through on this soundtrack.

Say what you will about it, but I love this movie and watch it over and over now that I have it on DVD. Its just what it says it is at the beginning...A Rock N Roll Fable...


Nice Memories 2008-07-09
The DVD has a good visual and sond Quality. The movie is great, as always...


Streets Of Fire Is Hot!! 2008-06-09
What I like about this movie is the music, The blasters realy know how to rock.
Sorcerer was originaly written by Stevie Nicks and then she and sheril crowe remade it for stevie' lattest project.
I love this movie! my now adult kids love this movie.
Between the six of us we own three movies and four soundtracks!
The era of the 50s and the modern music with a suttle hint of mainstreem video technology realy grabed me.
If you like fairy tales this Rock and Roll Fable is a must see!!

Rock and Roll Fable 2008-03-27
Streets of Fire is a fun film. The plot can be summed up as the reluctant hero has to rescue his old girlfriend from the more colorful villian. It has lots of action and great music. "Nowhere Fast" and "Tonight is What it Means to be Young" sound like rock anthems, in the Meatloaf style. The scenery consists of neon lit wet streets; run down diners, hotels, and trains; lots of smoke; a bit like Bladerunner. The downside is that the cool character stereotypes are only stereotypes. Amy Madigan and Willem Dafoe are very good, but everyone else seems to be overdoing it. It is filled with tough-guy speak and cliches that you will see coming a mile away. Still, it is a fun movie and I love it. Call it popcorn entertainment.


A Classic Cult Movie !!!! 2008-03-12
I watched this movie when it first came out countless times and I recently came across it again and just had to buy it !!!! A classic rock and roll fantasy !!!!!, Just wished the guy got the girl in the end, but we all know that they so love each other !!!!!!


TRULY AMAZING!!! 2008-03-09
It's amazing what people can like! And so many! This movie's a joke, but if you thought 'The Warriors' was cool, you'll probably find this one great as well. Rick Moranis, who usually plays cheeseball comic roles, was perfect for this cheeseball flick - in fact, being the wimp, he was about the only one I could take seriously in this dingbat flick full of 50's tough guys and 80's cheese. What a shallow pointless plot! OK, I should stop pretending this movie ever made pretences of being serious. It must be a reminiscence thing.. or maybe it's the laugh factor.. or the jaded Dick Tracy one-liners.. or the Villiage People looking cops and bikers.. or William Dafoe.. Hey, now that I think about it, this movie really was good! NOT!
