Shout! Factory to Traverse Streets of Fire
Streets of Fire is an incredibly odd little film. It’s sort of a post-apocalyptic musical thriller rock and roll fable, if that makes any sense to you.
I haven’t seen it in decades so I’m wondering just how well it would hold up today. Our chance to find out comes next month!
From the Press Release:
From acclaimed writer-director Walter Hill comes the stylish rock & roll fable Streets of Fire, starring Michael Paré (The Virgin Suicides), Diane Lane (Man of Steel), Rick Moranis (Ghostbusters), and Amy Madigan (The Dark Half).
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 Paré) and his sidekick, the two-fisted beer-guzzling McCoy (Amy Madigan). Joined by Ellen’s manager, Billy Fish (Rick Moranis), the trio plunges headfirst into a world of rain-splattered streets, hot cars, and deadly assassins.
This cult favorite features a razor-sharp cast and original songs written by Jim Steinman, Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty, and Ry Cooder and performed by The Blasters and The Fixx. STREETS OF FIRE is a rock & roll shotgun blast to the senses.
