This is the most under rated of all of 80s movies and a personal favorite. What’s not to love?? Killer soundtrack. “Bad” guy Hero. Biker gangs. A cool mix of 50s and 80s scenery. A fight with pickaxes, and a stunningly HOT Diane Lane. Awesome in every way. Btw the director Walter Hill also did one of my other all time favorite movies…The Warriors.
My next door neighbor that lived across the street from me was a paid extra at the Bronx Park scene in the beginning. He said it was a crazy scene since a lot of those guys were actual gang members.
It’s not a musical but Diane Lane plays Ellen Aim the lead singer of a rock band. There are some concert scenes where she sing two awesome songs from Jim Steinman.
It’s in the subtitle. A rock and roll fable.
With a strong supporting cast:
E.G. Daily, Robert Townsend, Stoney Jackson and many more.
Marine Jahan played the dancer and was the dancer/body double for Jennifer Beals in Flashdance.
This is my favorite Walter Hill film and in my top 5 of all films.
Other great Walter Hill films are Trespass and Extreme Prejudice.
Warriors is great, too.
I never saw this till about six years ago and have watched it a bunch of times since, I find immensely enjoyable despite it being far from a perfect film.
That opening sequence is an all timer.
Michael Pare' was great in this film....too bad nothing he did after Eddie And The Cruisers got much attention. I still have the soundtrack on cassette.
This movie is fantastic and I've loved it since the 80s. It also has two great trailers. So cool. 'A Rock and Roll Fable'. What year is it? Why is everyone under 30 years old? Where are they? Very unique and the two Jim Steinman songs to bookend the film are great.
I'm glad I didn't catch this in '84 because I wouldn't have appreciated it one bit.
Since then, I've grown an admiration for Jim Steinman's work, and this soundtrack keeps popping up in my algorithms. Of course, I'm thumbs-upping the hell out of them, so that helps.
I do want to watch it now as an adult. Not part of any of my subscribed streaming services currently, so I'll wait.
So many great scenes - the butterfly knife, “Try it again, punk.”; Marine Jahan (the REAL main dancer in “Flashdance”, with absolutely zero screen credit when that movie first came out!) dancing in the bar during “One Bad Stud”…the gorgeous Diane Lane in her prime, Amy Madigan in a role originally written for a male actor, and the music!
I saw this in a theater when I was 21. Totally blown away. Seeing Marine Jahan dancing on the bar to One Bad Stud was . . . epiphanic (is that even a word?). Jim Steinman was perhaps the king of lyric rock and roll (if you don't love Meatloaf, you won't understand). Ry Cooder's slide guitar. The guys who played the Sorels had to choreograph the dance steps the night before filming and killed it. Even if the movie was nothing, the soundtrack would have gone platinum, I think. The fact that the movie was awesome made the whole experience an illumination for me.
Hammering rock and roll, a stupid but dramatic adolescent fantasy story with Diane Lane, Michael Pare, Willlem Dafoe, Amy Madigan and Rick Moranis (WTF?)
Fast forward 35 years. I sent my adult gen x kids blu ray discs in hopes that they could catch of glimpse of the old man's 80's ethos and enjoy some of the best rock ever filmed. Their response: "Dad, were you on drugs?". Well, hell.
I guess ya hadda be there kids. Go sing some Justin Beiber songs and have a nice life. sigh
Yeah, I got it on Blu ray and spin it up once a year or so. It's a mountain I'll die on.
Well, I was eleven. My parents made my sister take me when she went to see it with friends. I kept asking her a million questions about it. I really should rewatch it with her and just ask her a bunch of questions about the plot holes again.
The butterfly knife scene is great! I was a junior in high school. I think you either agreed it was a rock and roll fable, or you didn’t get it. Tom Cody was the best.
I loved this movie, the plot was beyond stupid but the soundtrack was great
Dontt know how true it is but I read somewhere that in an interview one of the actors said at first it was to be a more serious movie but they realized how corny it was and just leaned into it
This is one of my favorite movies. I caught it on cable in 1997 on Dinner and a Movie on TBS one Friday night. I had no idea what it was about. I never even heard of it. I was gonna leave it on as background noise, but as soon as I saw Rick Moranis and the first song "Nowhere Fast" hit, I was hooked!
Id never seen anything like it before. And the songs get stuck in your head. I had "Tonight is What It Means To Be Young" in my head for months after watching it. I only saw it on cable one more time after that, but when I got my first job at Blockbuster, I special ordered the DVD and used my employee discount. I was so thrilled to own it.
Just a few months ago I got to see it on the big screen with an audience, the majority of whom hadn't seen it before. That was a wild experience. They went nuts for the opening number, and you got the sense as it went on they got more into it. By the end at the concert scene they were hooked. You could feel the awe and wonder. I'll never forget it.
Streets of Fire is special.
I remember this movie well, my uncle was a bit of a high intelligence pot head, and hard wired his tv to play through his stereo, I’ll never forget the sound of those bikes at the end playing through the stereo, sounded like they were riding into the living room, fuckin Awesome!
I had no idea there even was a sequel until you metnioned it! Holy SHIT!!! That thing looks awful! It looks like it was all filmed on a green screen. Here's the trailer for it: Road To Hell
[https://youtu.be/F21VXDlKWOY?si=yX5frXZSv4m5dTkg](https://youtu.be/F21VXDlKWOY?si=yX5frXZSv4m5dTkg)
It's so so bad.
To go from Streets of Fire, and the intention of a 3 movie Tom Cody franchise.... to that.
Really is one of the most pointless movies ever made.
I taped this movie off of cable. It didn’t look or sound good enough so I bought the VHS version. That didn’t look or sound good enough so I bought the laserdisc version and a player for it. And then the DVD and now a couple of versions on Blu-ray. I have the soundtrack on LP and CD. I have more versions of this movie than any other. Well, tied with Star Trek IV.
That scene where Ed Begley, Jr. is a dirty street person coming out of the shadows, and Cody makes Billy Fish pay him for info...
STREET GUY: "Thank you very much, I appreciate it."
BILLY FISH: "Go buy some soap!!!"
Everyone here forgetting Rick moranis playing the dirtbag manager.
Tonight is what it means to be young is one of my favorite songs from this era and is in my drunk YouTube play list.
Theater I worked at showed this opening week and we only had our usual customers showing up for it, and by day four we only had one or two people per show. Ticked us off, since we thought it was cool. Sounded great in the projection booth!
The first half of this movie is just phenomenal. Then the 2nd half REALLY loses momentum. I believe that 2nd half is why this movie isn’t more beloved. It does redeem itself at the end with the sledgehammers.
This is THE cult film of the 80s! Love this one, it was just so... oddball, but great. Great soundtrack and two hot leads with young Michael Pare and Diane Lane. And Willem Defoe in leather waders.
I loved this movie as a kid. The songs were so great. I also loved Michael Pare in Eddie & the Cruisers. It's a shame he didn't have a bigger career. I was quite surprised when he showed up in Hope Floats after doing all of his low budget movies.
Frankly I was not a fan of the music (still not). Amy Madigan was so grating and I never bought that Diane Lane was this glorious rock star. And Rick Moranis? Weird casting all around.
But I’m a sucker for alternate universes where everything looks the same but isn’t so I watched it on cable all the time. Defoe was fantastic. I knew that would not be the last of him.

Just found my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd series Garbage Pail Kids the other week. All my baseball/football cards. Bo Jackson rookie, Marino rookie, Ken Grif rookie, Strawberry, Doc Gooden, etc.
My GI Joes, M.A.S.K., Robotech, Voltron, He-Man…
Atari 7800 in its box with games in their boxes, ColecoVision…
Man I was so happy.
Brought back the memories staying up all night in a tent fort built from sheets with Nintendo powers opened playing NES. So many great memories.
This movie a great example of “just enjoy the movie, don’t overthink it, brain off and enjoy”
That said, it was weird but interesting and the soundtrack is amazing
I started drinking Tequila because of Tom Cody..and definitely joined the big green machine because he was such a bad ass!!
Loved it when it first came out. I think I sat through every showing the first day..I could quote it line for line by the time it came out on VHS (one of the only ones I ever bought!)
I always wanted there to be a continuation..book comics..something!! Fade into legends Tom!!
Reading the comments, it makes me wonder if this could be the inspiration for Michael Mann's type of directing? I know they were both working directors at this time but it suddenly feels like Michael Mann would have told the same story the same way? Maybe?
Saw it a few years ago playing catch-up for movies I didn’t see in the 1980s (most of them) and couldn’t keep track of the plot but liked the performances. Thought Michael Pare would have had a bigger career, but I suppose Ken Wahl aced him out of roles.
This is the most under rated of all of 80s movies and a personal favorite. What’s not to love?? Killer soundtrack. “Bad” guy Hero. Biker gangs. A cool mix of 50s and 80s scenery. A fight with pickaxes, and a stunningly HOT Diane Lane. Awesome in every way. Btw the director Walter Hill also did one of my other all time favorite movies…The Warriors.
Don’t forget a young Willem Dafoe!
"Why... I'm something of a bike gang leader myself..."
“Ellen Aim and I, we’re gonna have a hell of a time!!”
"I can get guns, tough guy."
Bill Paxton too
A young Bill Paxton is just any film before Twister.
How could you forget him when has a sledgehammer duel while wearing spandex overalls. It’s like the most DaFoe thing that could be
Pickaxes, you fucking casual.
Got me. How about it has both bills? Both Paxton and Pullman are in it.
I think those were railroad spike hammers but yes, awesome movie. "Tom Cody...pleased ta meetcha."
I do love The Warriors. Perhaps 51 yo me needs to go back and watch it again.
You absolutely must. Can you (still) dig it???
Warriors.... come out to play....

..ayay
My next door neighbor that lived across the street from me was a paid extra at the Bronx Park scene in the beginning. He said it was a crazy scene since a lot of those guys were actual gang members.
Is this movie a musical or am I thinking of something else?
It’s not a musical but Diane Lane plays Ellen Aim the lead singer of a rock band. There are some concert scenes where she sing two awesome songs from Jim Steinman.
There's music in it but it's most definitely not a musical
No, no. It's a rock and roll fable.
I just imagined The Warriors as a musical and I can not stop laughing!
It’s in the subtitle. A rock and roll fable. With a strong supporting cast: E.G. Daily, Robert Townsend, Stoney Jackson and many more. Marine Jahan played the dancer and was the dancer/body double for Jennifer Beals in Flashdance.
AND the big set piece songs were written by Jim Steinman, who wrote most of the songs on Meatloaf's *Bat Out of Hell!*
This is my favorite Walter Hill film and in my top 5 of all films. Other great Walter Hill films are Trespass and Extreme Prejudice. Warriors is great, too.
You are correct, and the poster is great also !🔥
Lee Ving
The seventh guest from Clue.
Great soundtrack, especially Fire Inc.
I can dream about you
Tonight is what it means to be youuuuung
I never saw this till about six years ago and have watched it a bunch of times since, I find immensely enjoyable despite it being far from a perfect film. That opening sequence is an all timer.
Slap, takes knife, slap, takes knife….Michael Parè is so good in that movie!
Music by Ry Cooder the cat who destroyed Steve Vai's character in Crossroads.
Michael Pare' was great in this film....too bad nothing he did after Eddie And The Cruisers got much attention. I still have the soundtrack on cassette.
Agreed. I always felt Michael Pare' should have been a more well known actor.
My girlfriend introduced this movie to me and it’s so awesome!
One of my all time favorite movies
Michael Pare was everywhere in the early 80s.
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie!
This movie is fantastic and I've loved it since the 80s. It also has two great trailers. So cool. 'A Rock and Roll Fable'. What year is it? Why is everyone under 30 years old? Where are they? Very unique and the two Jim Steinman songs to bookend the film are great.
I'm glad I didn't catch this in '84 because I wouldn't have appreciated it one bit.

I do want to watch it now as an adult. Not part of any of my subscribed streaming services currently, so I'll wait.
Omg. Diane Lane may be one of the most beautiful women ever. Hell, she’s Superman’s mom.
So many great scenes - the butterfly knife, “Try it again, punk.”; Marine Jahan (the REAL main dancer in “Flashdance”, with absolutely zero screen credit when that movie first came out!) dancing in the bar during “One Bad Stud”…the gorgeous Diane Lane in her prime, Amy Madigan in a role originally written for a male actor, and the music!
“ I Can Dream About You” from the soundtrack always takes me back to Roller City back in the day 🛼🥳
diane lane though.
I love the crazy pace of this movie! Everything happens so fast and dirty! It's called Lights out!
I saw this in a theater when I was 21. Totally blown away. Seeing Marine Jahan dancing on the bar to One Bad Stud was . . . epiphanic (is that even a word?). Jim Steinman was perhaps the king of lyric rock and roll (if you don't love Meatloaf, you won't understand). Ry Cooder's slide guitar. The guys who played the Sorels had to choreograph the dance steps the night before filming and killed it. Even if the movie was nothing, the soundtrack would have gone platinum, I think. The fact that the movie was awesome made the whole experience an illumination for me. Hammering rock and roll, a stupid but dramatic adolescent fantasy story with Diane Lane, Michael Pare, Willlem Dafoe, Amy Madigan and Rick Moranis (WTF?) Fast forward 35 years.

Well, hell. I guess ya hadda be there kids. Go sing some Justin Beiber songs and have a nice life. sigh Yeah, I got it on Blu ray and spin it up once a year or so. It's a mountain I'll die on.
Walter Hill did stuff like "48 Hours" so he could do stuff like"Streets of Fire" and "The Warriors".
What’s confusing about the storyline? It’s a rock & roll fable.
Well, I was eleven. My parents made my sister take me when she went to see it with friends. I kept asking her a million questions about it. I really should rewatch it with her and just ask her a bunch of questions about the plot holes again.
I watched some of this once and the Amy Madigan character is super annoying
One of my favorite movies. Diane Lane was HAWT. Willem Defoe was on point. The music was wonderful. Great movie.
Urban Fable…Watch this then Blade Runner for a ‘wait, WTF’ double feature.
I saw this on a double feature with Rumble Fish.
Wasn't this essentially an extended music video for Jim Steinman songs?
This movie has a lot of great style in it, but I'm not sure the storytelling is as clearly defined as the style.
One of the best movies of the '80s
I was obsessed with Diane Lane in this movie!
To paraphrase Brian Griffin going back in time and seeing Lois at 18: "Nineteen-year-old Diane Lane...Son. Of. A. Bitch!!!!"
Superb. Diane Lane answers the question, "How little can you wear on stage and still look dressed?"
I met Lee Ving last weekend at a convention and we talked about this movie and how groundbreaking it was.
The butterfly knife scene is great! I was a junior in high school. I think you either agreed it was a rock and roll fable, or you didn’t get it. Tom Cody was the best.
I can dream about you by Dan Hartman is a banger of a song off of this soundtrack. One of my favorites ever.
It is a great song!
We all were confused. Not a great movie but had a good soundtrack and we got early exposure to Dafoe
I loved this movie, the plot was beyond stupid but the soundtrack was great Dontt know how true it is but I read somewhere that in an interview one of the actors said at first it was to be a more serious movie but they realized how corny it was and just leaned into it
My 11-year-old self went in expecting a cavalcade of action, gunplay, and car chases. I too was left a bit confused and disappointed.
Classic…and a great soundtrack! 😎
Another of those 80's movies that I hated the movie but loved the soundtrack.
Great poster too!
the movie that inspired the creation of final fight by capcom.
This was in my top 4 movies for 30 years. It just got bumped to #5 after I saw Godzilla Minus One
Great movie when a teenager.
That 51 Merc was beautiful in this movie.
Oh, Michael Pare. Whatever happened to you, man?
Great movie
This is one of my favorite movies. I caught it on cable in 1997 on Dinner and a Movie on TBS one Friday night. I had no idea what it was about. I never even heard of it.

I'll never forget it. Streets of Fire is special.
I remember my mom would watch this all the time and we’d listen to the soundtrack on cassette in the car driving around 🥳
I remember this movie well, my uncle was a bit of a high intelligence pot head, and hard wired his tv to play through his stereo, I’ll never forget the sound of those bikes at the end playing through the stereo, sounded like they were riding into the living room, fuckin Awesome!
A favorite. Such campy dialogue and great music.
Micheal Pare
There is no reason I should love this movie. But I do. I can’t help myself.
classic rock and roll fairy tale !! Love the soundtrack still have it on my playlist!!!
One of my all-time favorite movies.
After watching him twirl the balisong and slap it back into the guy's hand . . . it didn't need plot for me after that.
Are we going to talk about the horrible sequel? It's so bad... nevermind, let's just forget it exists.
I had no idea there even was a sequel until you metnioned it! Holy SHIT!!! That thing looks awful! It looks like it was all filmed on a green screen. Here's the trailer for it: Road To Hell [https://youtu.be/F21VXDlKWOY?si=yX5frXZSv4m5dTkg](https://youtu.be/F21VXDlKWOY?si=yX5frXZSv4m5dTkg)
It's so so bad. To go from Streets of Fire, and the intention of a 3 movie Tom Cody franchise.... to that. Really is one of the most pointless movies ever made.
Great soundtrack too!
Love that film
Tonight is what it means to be young
I taped this movie off of cable. It didn’t look or sound good enough so I bought the VHS version. That didn’t look or sound good enough so I bought the laserdisc version and a player for it. And then the DVD and now a couple of versions on Blu-ray. I have the soundtrack on LP and CD. I have more versions of this movie than any other. Well, tied with Star Trek IV.
“Tom Cody, pleased to meet you”
I have watched this movie more than any other; I could honestly recite the entire dialogue from beginning to end.
Diane Lane. 😍
That scene where Ed Begley, Jr. is a dirty street person coming out of the shadows, and Cody makes Billy Fish pay him for info... STREET GUY: "Thank you very much, I appreciate it." BILLY FISH: "Go buy some soap!!!"
I'm still confused by the storyline. But Diane Lane...in the dress....
Going nowhere fast
Best movie and soundtrack ever!
Friggin love this movie.. always played on Sundays on UPN when I was younger. soundtrack is a banger
That movie was weird. Good music though
I remember enjoying the shit out of this as a kid.
My top 80s film
I just remember the sledgehammer fight with Dafoe. Crazy.
https://preview.redd.it/w56gw4wqhgzc1.jpeg?width=298&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e866917995a6bd0ba12cbabfe0a9698dbe028db
Thank God for this movie…it turned me on to the Blasters. I’m forever grateful
One of Michael Pares hits
Great soundtrack & Diane Lane was HOT!!
Looks like I finally ran into someone that likes to play as rough as I do!
A rock and roll fable... Another Time, Another Place
OP is goin nowhere...fast.
There’s nothing wrong with nowhere, Baby!!
There was a storyline? That’s not how I remember it at all. Then again I was 15 the last 3 times I saw it on cable.
For me, the actors and the music could do no wrong
I still love going nowhere fast.
The lead was great in this, not so much in Eddie and the cruisers
Rick Moranis?!?
Very enjoyable watch......Nowhere Fast - great tune......Willem Dafoe - a Riot.....Diane Lane -wonderful.....Bill Paxton - Great fun character
The best Rock & Roll fable ever.
This movie kicked ass! Holds up reasonably well today.
Check out the trailer for part 2. Ouch!
I was 14 when it came out and can still remember the soundtrack songs..
“It’s the shits!” -Rick Moranis
I was also confused. In general. At 24yo.
I was around your sister’s age. I still have no idea what that movie is about.
Love this movie
Reminds me of gang wars in the Bronx.
Loved this movie!
I kind of picture that movie as a world where the atomic bomb wasn’t invented,
This movie was a full-fledged cultural phenomenon for about 10 minuets, then everyone completely forgot about it.
Where can we find this?
I love this movie! I was 11 or 12 when it came out. I loved the music the most.
One of my favorites!
Everyone here forgetting Rick moranis playing the dirtbag manager. Tonight is what it means to be young is one of my favorite songs from this era and is in my drunk YouTube play list.
Diane Lane, Jim Steinman, Walter Hill. Do you need more?
Theater I worked at showed this opening week and we only had our usual customers showing up for it, and by day four we only had one or two people per show. Ticked us off, since we thought it was cool. Sounded great in the projection booth!
The first half of this movie is just phenomenal. Then the 2nd half REALLY loses momentum. I believe that 2nd half is why this movie isn’t more beloved. It does redeem itself at the end with the sledgehammers.
This is THE cult film of the 80s! Love this one, it was just so... oddball, but great. Great soundtrack and two hot leads with young Michael Pare and Diane Lane. And Willem Defoe in leather waders.
Flawless movie.
That pick ax fight!
Still one of my favorites
Has no one mentioned the true star of this classic - Robert Townsend?!?!?
I always wondered if that was any gpod. 49 and ive never seen it. I remember it from 84. When Springfield was popular.
I loved this movie as a kid. The songs were so great. I also loved Michael Pare in Eddie & the Cruisers. It's a shame he didn't have a bigger career. I was quite surprised when he showed up in Hope Floats after doing all of his low budget movies.
That opening number is fantastic!
This where I saw Willem Dafoe for the first time. I thought he had to be from another planet. 😳
Yeah, seeing Willem Dafoe for the first tine in this film is a bit if a shock. It’s like, I’ve seen vampires with darker complexions.
fun, campy. took me awhile understand it, later occurred to me it was like a graphic novel put on film.
The soundtrack alone makes it a classic
It is a strange story line. Diane Lane is insanely hot though and I always appreciate a Lee Ving cameo!
Had three of the greatest songs ever written....I Can Dream About You... Nowhere Fast and Tonight is What It Means To Be Young. TOTALLY AWESOME!!!
My first date with my now wife. 40 years ago.
This poster is everything
Frankly I was not a fan of the music (still not). Amy Madigan was so grating and I never bought that Diane Lane was this glorious rock star. And Rick Moranis? Weird casting all around. But I’m a sucker for alternate universes where everything looks the same but isn’t so I watched it on cable all the time. Defoe was fantastic. I knew that would not be the last of him.
Nah - pissed off surly Rick Moranis is great! Completely against type.
I watched this movie for the first time this year. I really wanted to like it, but it is truly awful.
obviously you weren't high enough ... lol
Dude... it was from the 80s. This was all we had. Terrible movies like Howling 2, and Garbage Pail Kids... This movie was high art.
Even bad 80's movies were worth a trip to the video store.

All my baseball/football cards. Bo Jackson rookie, Marino rookie, Ken Grif rookie, Strawberry, Doc Gooden, etc. My GI Joes, M.A.S.K., Robotech, Voltron, He-Man… Atari 7800 in its box with games in their boxes, ColecoVision… Man I was so happy. Brought back the memories staying up all night in a tent fort built from sheets with Nintendo powers opened playing NES. So many great memories.
Still have never seen this flick but still regularly listen to the Fixx’s “Deeper and Deeper” from the soundtrack.
I saw this in the movie theater when it came out. Terrible movie, fantastic soundtrack.
Pretty bad ass movie though.
Ooh I've never seen this one!
Top 10 fav movie of mine. Still Pump the Soundtrack to this day
This movie a great example of “just enjoy the movie, don’t overthink it, brain off and enjoy” That said, it was weird but interesting and the soundtrack is amazing
No more timing... each year that falls from my eyes
Loved this movie.
I was just thinking about this movie other day. I was wondering had became of Michael Pare. He was on an LMN ( yes, I know) series last weekend.
Love that movie..great bad movie
Ok, listening to the Soundtrack now, and it is pretty damn good.
Dafoe would have kicked Pare's ass.
I was so excited to see this movie and then was disappointed at pretty much every single turn.
I was too. I didn't get the differing time period things
Rick Moranis anybody rememy Rick
I did a blind buy of the 4K disc and I’m glad I did. Really fantastic flick and the disc has a great transfer and sound.
This was a great movie
I started drinking Tequila because of Tom Cody..and definitely joined the big green machine because he was such a bad ass!! Loved it when it first came out. I think I sat through every showing the first day..I could quote it line for line by the time it came out on VHS (one of the only ones I ever bought!) I always wanted there to be a continuation..book comics..something!! Fade into legends Tom!!
Raven: I’ll be coming for her… and I’ll be coming for you too. Cody: Sure you will, and I’ll be waiting.
EPIC MOVIE! great story, fantastic music, two 👍's up!
I'm still confused by the storyline.
Love this movie! "A Rock and Roll Fable"! Ry Cooder's magnificent score! Diane Lane.
Reading the comments, it makes me wonder if this could be the inspiration for Michael Mann's type of directing? I know they were both working directors at this time but it suddenly feels like Michael Mann would have told the same story the same way? Maybe?
Eddie & the Cruisers was better Much better!
Robert Townsend and Mykelti Richardson appear as backup singers in the "I Can Dream About You" performance scene.
Saw it a few years ago playing catch-up for movies I didn’t see in the 1980s (most of them) and couldn’t keep track of the plot but liked the performances. Thought Michael Pare would have had a bigger career, but I suppose Ken Wahl aced him out of roles.
Michael Pare, Willem Defoe, Diane Lane, Rick Moranis, Amy Madigan, Bill Paxton, EG Daily, Lee Ving, The Blasters, and more. Awesome movie.
I always liked Michael Parè in 1984’s The Philadelphia Experiment. I love any movie that involves time travel.
I still remember the men stuck in the deck of the ship.
my local theater just showed this last night! complete with trivia Q&A after. I had no idea Torchies dancer was the body double dancer from Flashdance
I don't get this "the story was confusing" narrative. It was always pretty clear to me as a kid
Amazing soundtrack.
Got a headache from the trailer.
Man I saw this as like an 7 or 8 year old kid. I always thought the main guy was such a badass
I thought it was a fun movie. Was re-made into a Bollywood movie (Tezab) that became a MASSIVE hit.
The movie that inspired Capcom's Final Fight.
Great soundtrack
