Review of Streets of Fire (1984) by Angel M — 17 Jan 2010
The Young Beautifull singer Ellen Aim (Diane Lane) and her band The Attackers perform a gig in a urban center referred to only as ?the Richmond District.
A motorcycle gang led by Raven Shaddock (Willem Dafoe) let her get through one song before bum rushing the show and kidnapping the star.
War hero and ?juvenile delinquent? Tom Cody (Michael Pare) is wired by his sister Reva (Debra Van Valkenburgh), who works in the local diner, to come home. Cody arrives in time to knock sense into some turkeys making trouble in the diner, taking a butterfly knife and a chopped up ?51 Mercury for his trouble.
Cody befriends a fellow ex-soldier, a motorhead played by Amy Madigan, and though Ellen Aim is the ex-flame he never got over, asks for $10,000 from her weasel manager Billy Fish (Rick Moranis) to venture into ?the Battery District? to rescue her!!!
OLD SCHOOL IS SOOO COOL *.
