Streets of Fire with Rick Moranis, Willem Dafoe, Diane Lane, Michael Pare, and Amy Madigan.
This movie was subtitled, A Rock and Roll Fable. That and along with the acting of one of my favorites, Michael Pare, was the reason I watched this classic. I loved Pare as a rock and roll icon in Eddie and the Cruisers, and he delivered the same tough but likeable quality in this performance. In addition there were a lot of young actors and actresses who went on to stardom.
I love to see the stars in minor roles before they hit it big.
I especially enjoyed Morannis. He started off as a tough talking big shot but quickly reverted to his high squeaky voice of a wimp. Diane Lane is great looking now, but she was incredible as a young rock Madonna like performer in this movie.
Add the original tunes that give this movie an unique quality and Streets of Fire becomes a must see film.
The movie starts off with Lane singing a Meat Loaf like song in a concert in front of hundreds of screaming teenagers.
Then a motor cycle gang called the Bombers appear from the shadows to kidnap ...
