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 Pare 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

My family and I watched this movie years ago and really enjoyed it. My son mentioned this movie recently and said he would really like to see it again. After looking at local movie rental places and not finding it, I looked on amazon.com and found it. I ordered it and it is still as good as we remembered.

Great Cast,the opening concert sceen with Diane Lane is worth the price of the movie alone.Good roles by Michael Pare and Willem Dafoe.Rick Moranis plays his usual Sarcastic lame part.
An absolute MUST have !! March 22, 2009

Sometimes there are absolute gems that for no reason at all dont get the proper coverage they deserve. This Movie is a double star. The soundtrack is a 10 out of 10 ,and the movie launched the careers of Diane Lane
and the star of Eddie and the Cruisers.
It is a relatively short movie, but the action, songs and acting are all terrific. This movie doesn't cure cancer,but if you want to spend 90 minutes really enjoying yourself, watch Streets of Fire. After its over and you're dying to hear the songs again, get the Soundtrack. many of the songs were bit hits 20 years ago. Jim Steinman played
on many sounds, so you will hear a lot of MeatLoaf type songs.
enjoy
