Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
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

5 out of 5 stars Streets of Fire Diane Lan .......2007-06-11

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.

Excellent Diane Lane as Ellen Aim - Top Movie
Streets of Fire is a rock & roll shotgun blast to the senses.

5 out of 5 stars I love this movie, the sets are fantastic, the dialogue is deadpan. .......2007-05-07

This is one of the classic B movies of all time.

5 out of 5 stars Really enjoyed Streets of Fire.......2007-03-27

This movie is great. This movie has a "dark" feeling to it. It reminds me of the "50's". It has a great deal of motorcycle stunts, and the music is very good. Again the music reminds me of the "50's also. The movie is not a real serious movie. It is sort of a tongue in cheek movie.
Michael Pare, Diane Lane, and Amy Madigan are good in it.

5 out of 5 stars An all time great movie.......2007-03-21

Maybe it's a bit of a cult movie, but I never get sick of it! I love the music, the characters, the lines, it will be one to watch with my grandkids!

5 out of 5 stars A GREAT ROCK AND ROLL FABLE IN THE 50's MOLD.......2007-03-20

This is a great film for any pure rock and roll fan. It's timeless with good acting. It's a good escape film.
