Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Perhaps best known for its faux Springsteen soundtrack, the 1983 Eddie and the Cruisers is a rock lover's fantasy run wild. The story finds a reporter (Ellen Barkin) tracking down rumors of an unreleased album by a band whose charismatic leader (Michael ParÃ©) allegedly died years before. As she approaches surviving members--who have since gone on to other things--she gets different points of view on Eddie's life and artistic drive, and the mystery about that album deepens. The trouble with the film is simple: it's impossible to accept. Michael ParÃ© is far from suitable to play a Jersey shore rocker with thematic pretensions toward Rimbaud that go back to the '60s, and the soundtrack by John Cafferty sounds like a hack's rendition of E Street Band magic. An all-around embarrassment. --Tom Keogh

Eddie Lives!.......2007-07-02

I must say that "Eddie and the Cruisers II, Eddie Lives !" is one of my favorite Rock & Roll films. Second only to the original "Eddie and the Cruisers". The soundtrack is fantastic and Michael Pane's performance as Eddie Wilson is perfect. John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band wrote and perform all of the original songs. However, Pare's lip syncing is so perfect you cannot tell he isn't doing the actual singing. Although the sequel stands on its own, I recommend viewing the original "Eddie and the Cruisers" first. This DVD version is long overdue and is a must see for all Rock & Roll fans.

Excellant movie, hard to find movie, would buy from again.

Here's the truth about the movie........2006-05-24

Somewhere I saw people said How come Sal has the tapes when they were given to Doc? The answer is Satin Records told Sal when we received the tapes there was another mystery tape in the box, which means Doc could have given Satin the tapes, Sal didn't because he didnt even know about the tape. The other was they removed Frank in the beach scene and put in Sal. It's not actually Sal, I don't think Sal would dress like a hippy. But if you watch the movie at the end it says Frank was played by some actor, which means they just had to replace the footage of Tom Berenger with some other Frank actor. The only problem was I didn't think people dressed like that in 1963.
I had to buy this movie on Ebay. It came brand new and wrapped. It looks like Canada released this movie but America didn't. The quality isn't too bad, about 90% good. There are some seconds where the film gets darker. Also, the movie starts wiggling in the beginning. Hard to explain, you know the quote from Eddie in the beginning, it seems to move a quarter of an inch then goes back quickly, during the whole movie this seems to be going on. I didn't notice it as much as the movie went on, but maybe I just got used to it. This movie isn't quite as good as the first one, the acting was a little over the top. But I felt the music is just as good as the first. I bought this new on Ebay for $9.99 plus shipping, it was definitely worth it.

Description

They say rock 'n' roll never dies, but one dark night in 1963, Eddie Wilson's car took a dive off aJersey bridge with the troubled rock idol at the wheel. His body was never found. Tom Berenger (Platoon), Michael ParÃ(c) (Streets of Fire) and Ellen Barkin (Sea of Love) star in this cool, compelling classic that really rocks! Twenty years after the lead singer (ParÃ(c)) of"Eddie and the Cruisers" disappeared, the band's songs are hotter than ever. And renewed interest in the band leads TV reporter Maggie Foley (Barkin) to pursue a tantalizing mystery: What if Eddie isstill alive? The circumstances surrounding his death are just shadowy enough to make it a distinct possibility, and someone (could it be Eddie?) has been ransacking the homes of surviving band members in a desperate search for tapes of the group's visionary, never-released album. As Maggie interviews the former "Cruisers," the pieces of the puzzle start to fit...but only until still deeper mysteries begin to surface.
