"It's probably impossible not to enjoy the movie. No director holds a candle to (Walter) Hill for sheer visceral expertise." – Film Comment
Amid a brooding rock & roll landscape, the Bombers motorcycle gang, led by the vicious Raven Shaddock (Willem Dafoe, John Wick), kidnap diva Ellen Aim (Diane Lane, Man of Steel). Her hope for rescue lies with unlikely heroes: soldier of fortune Tom Cody (Michael Paré, Bad Moon) and his sidekick, the two-fisted beer-guzzling McCoy (Amy Madigan, The Dark Half). Joined by Ellen's manager, Billy Fish (Rick Moranis, Ghostbusters), the trio plunges headfirst into a world of rain-splattered streets, hot cars, and deadly assassins.
This cult favorite features a razor-sharp cast and original songs written by Jim Steinman, Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty and Ry Cooder and performed by The Blasters and The Fixx. Directed by cult filmmaker Walter Hill (The Warriors, Southern Comfort, 48 Hrs.), Streets of Fire is a rock & roll shotgun blast to the senses.

Released in the summer of 1984, this film quickly fell out of sight in a very competitive summer movie season that featured things like " Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom", "Gremlins", "Star Trek III, and "Ghostbusters". However, as fate would have it, "Streets of Fire" was a hit on cable and VHS. Full of action, romance, and a rocking soundtrack, this movie is one of the best examples of what was so great about 1980s cinema.

This is an amazing transfer of this film. It has never looked or sounded this good in all the years I have seen this film. Worth every penny.

I've been waiting for Shout Factory release for a while as I love Streets of Fire and this did not disappoint! The video quality was amazing as were the extra features. I love that Michael Pare tells his experiences playing Tom Cody. This is my favorite release so far...and the poster ain't nothing to sneeze at, either.
