I was a teenager when I watched this movie for the first time. I watched it today again, and I'm 45 now. Man, it's timeless! I still listen to the soundtrack!
@ElH3ehee-n8k17hZz probably. I'm Brazilian and we'd have to wait years before the movies would come to Brazil. And I watched on TV. Só, yeah. Many years later, but I loved! And I still do and I listen to the soundtrack to this day.
I watched this movie for the first time in 86 and fell in love with every bit of it. Now 32 years later, I'm watching it again and falling in love all over again. Best Rock'n Roll movie of all time.
I never saw this until the mid 90's which is weird cuz i had HBO and Cinemax and saw just about every movie in the eighties. Especially comedies. When I discovered this, I was like, wtf? Rick moranis, diane lane, willem defoe? Where had I been?
Same here. One of my all time favorite movies and soundtracks. Now it’s one of my 9 year old daughters favorite movies. I had to buy it on iTunes so we could watch it on a plane to visit my mom in Florida and she fell in love with it. She had the same trance like look I did when I heard “Nowhere Fast” and seeing a young hot Diane Lane for the first time. I heard the man who wrote the script for this passed recently. Shame.
Since the 80s', the first time I watched the movie, Streets of Fire has been the classic I'll never forget, roaring fantasy rock that swings between the 50s' and the 80s'!!
I saw this movie in 1985 in a Navy barracks lounge and loved it ever since. I re-watch my DVD every couple of years so I can remember, "what it means to be young"
William DeFoe........insanely magnificent. One of the best actors STILL working. Every role he made his own, from the 80s to hell, tomorrow. He will bury most of us and look good doing it.
I have this on the original VHS Video Tape Titled 'Music Video From Streets of Fire', bought way back around when the film was released. There was no mention of Jim, which I found disappointing, it was possibly because he was brought in late in the production to write the two songs.
A timeless classic,the first viewing was after it was released but I remember everything from the Walter Hill masterpiece. I just purchased the 4K and let me tell you it’s absolutely beautiful and again timeless it just doesn’t get old. Let’s not forget Rick Moranis and Devoe simply iconic. Kinda glad box office was not great as they may have pushed a part 2 which would’ve been sacrilege. Thanks for the great vid !✌️
I love Walter Hill. I love this movie. Michael Pare is very subdued but great in this role. Willem Dafoe is absolutely frightening. Very underrated film.
She was but she had just emerged from being a child star (she was on the cover of Time magazine which was huge back then). It felt a bit uncomfortable and weird for the viewing public to look at someone that way who you thought of as a child 5 years earlier.
Nice try folks. The long awaited troubled production has finally released on Friday June 29, 1984 during the 1984-1985 fall season. A Universal-international and StudioCanal presentation of a Lone Wolf/Intermedia/Silver Pictures production, Universal- International.
Even though she was lip syncing her 'singing' performances really nail the rockstar style. She really makes the songs seem like they come from her. Amazing.
Because he's the only one who's had a long and successful career. Michael Pare never really caught on Diane Lane sunk into obscurity for years. The 2 supporting actors, Rick Moranis and Amy Madigan retired early for family reasons I think. They were really pushing Michael Pare in the 80s as another James Dean but I always though he was kind of unmemorable. It was Dafoe who made you sit up in the theater and think, "who is *that* guy?"
It had its flaws, but I thought it was a fun movie for back then. Now unfortunately, it’s a movie that’s lost in time. I watch it sometimes for nostalgia, but I would never say it was bad.
john moyers this movie never sucked!! I still got this movie, great memories of this movie!! Only problem was they casted none famous guy in it!! If they casted kurt Russell, maybe different story or feelings....
5 years earlier, she was the lead in A Little Romance with Lawrence Olivier, Sally Kellerman and Broderick Crawford. She had chops and everyone knew it.
@James Latta The long awaited troubled production was finally released in theaters in the 1984-1985 fall season, June 29, 1984 as well as its both limited and wide releases in July 13 & 20 with modest results.
America has fall in love with the Oscar winning Little Romance for Warner Bros (USA) and Columbia (worldwide) under the deft direction of George Roy Hill. After the success of the film, Academy Award nominee Diane Lane had plenty of chops and everyone knew it so well with Universal-International's Streets of Fire (1984-1985) along with Lionsgate/StudioCanal/ American Zoetrope's Oscar nominated The Cotton Club (1984).
This is a fascinating piece of treasure you've unearthed, and thank you for sharing it. Amazing quality. I'm particularly taken by the segment focusing on the kidnap scene and the focus on nobody getting hurt. Fascinating; all of it informative and nostalgic, really. This is a brilliant contemporary look at an intriguing film that gets barely a wink or a nod anywhere.
Great upload. Thanks. Everyone - back in '84 - thought this was going to be one of the biggest hits of that summer. A financial flop that eventually became a Cult Classic. Hugely entertaining film.
Back in the 1984-1985 fall season-thought this was going to be one of the sleeper hits of that year. Walter Hill's Streets of Fire was a financial flop that eventually became a cult classic, hugely entertaining film at its best. The film opens on Wednesday, December 12, 1984.
But I’m sorry because I disagree with you in some cases - we’re not in the movie business but what we’re supposed to be doing is focus on our own roots and nothing else. For some reason I’m going to see different pictures and know what it’s like to be. And after that I’m done with everything I’ve been going through over the years so you do better start getting yourself together because nobody’s going to help you anymore. You’re all on your own - right here, right now. Do what you really think is right.
We were a generation without a voice or a vote, the critics buried this excellent film and did not allow the sequels to be made. You should investigate who the critics were because I have never heard a bad review from viewers. These critics robbed us of the pleasure of enjoying the following films. My opinion is that they were merciless with it because they did not receive bribes to criticize it well, since it is a rock jewel and an excellent movie.
Great underrated movie! I saw this opening night and just loved it. I think it got lost being released between Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Ghostbusters.
June 29 - July 6, 1984 - both Ghostbusters and Indiana Jones along with Gremlins and Sixteen Candles were four of the biggest box office hits during the 1984-1985 fall season, but Streets of Fire went on to become a cult classic for Universal International.
Great movie and a timeless classic ,seen it at least 10 times ,finally bought it on remastered 4k bluray, William Dafoe was great in this film ,a underrated film that still stands today ,Walter Hill is a great director and he doesn't get the credit he deserves , THE WARRIORS ,48 HOURS ,EXTREME PREJUDICE, RED HEAT ,UNDISPUTED
"Streets of Fire" - June 29, 1984. Universal Pictures A Universal-International/StudioCanal presentation of a Lone Wolf/Intermedia/Silver Pictures production. A Universal-International Release (c)1984-1985 Universal Pictures Limited. Original soundtrack album available on Mercury Records, Cassettes and CD's.
How many movies have failed at the box office at their time and are later being recognized as masterpieces. This is one of them. Starship Troupers. The Abyss. Dune. Backdraft. And so on. And so on. Street of Fire is amazing.
I’m surprised the doc didn’t mention her earlier performance as a punk rock star (she was just 15 at the time) appearing alongside the Sex Pistols and a young Ray Winston in the movie ‘Ladies and Gentleman, the Fabulous Stains’! The movie is a cult classic now.
I didnt realize it till about 10 years ago but i think Walter Hill is my favorite director. all these films i have loved since the mid 70s and never realized they all had the same director. The Blasters are one of my all time favorite bands and back in the 80s Michael Pare was one of my two favorite actors.
Come on let it go! The cult film has one great soundtrack on the Mercury/PolyGram Records label from 1984 which features some of the best known artists in the business: Jim Steinman and including the theme music from the film was “I Can Dream About You.” Performed by the late Dan Hartman.
I wouldve been about 17 or 18 when I hired this on VHS...59 now 😯 Absolutely loved it..went out & bought the soundtrack vinyl, which I played to death(not quite as i still have it). Brilliant movie,Killer music...10/10 ✌️❤️ 🇦🇺🦘
Yes da girl with da Dutch surname who plays Michael p sister was on dat film also forgot her name btw , 😍 but she was the leading lady dumsell in distress in warriors which is like diane lane character in sof
i liked this movie, then and now. I would like to have seen more movies from this cinematic universe like the two sequels that were originally planned. It might have been cool to mix-and--match the crews from "The Warriors" into this world as well - imagine the Gramercy Riffs as a force in this world. It was disappointing to read about this movie and the way the producers disowned it and threw Pare and others to the wolves when it didn't quite catch. Chalk it up to two junior producers trying to claw their way out of a disappointing (but visionary and interesting) effort but I hope it's a regret for them.
L Miller. That's interesting how Hollywood works. When a movie does great. Good reviews and a box office hit. Everyone involved in the film is just wonderful. But if a movie bombs, or has terrible reviews. Someone is to blame.
Wow how disappointing. I loved it the first time I saw it on VHS and every time I rewatched it. I get everyone I know to watch it with me. 😂 I just watched it again on Netflix.
@@kennethrussell1158 Sometimes movies don't made money. Despite mixed reviews and everything else. But everyone involved in the making of "Streets of Fire" is just wonderful. What happen is if a movie bombs or has terrible reviews. Someone is to blame. Such as the marketing and distribution people at NBC Universal and StudioCanal.
One of my all time favourites. I love the rock opera/musical genre; Tommy, Rocky Horror, The Wall, Jesus Christ Superstar, Little Shop of Horrors, etc. Though sometimes, the acting doesn't match the music, I think taken as a whole entity rather than just certain aspects, these movies entertain me to no end
God I wish no one ever aged & stay beautiful forever , it’s not that I’m vain I just feel that when you’re younger you expect so much with the stamina be able to do it.
Thanks for uploading! Would it be alright if I used clips from this for a video I'm creating on Streets of Fire? I will credit you on screen and in the description :)
"Walter Hill hizo una " Joya" de incalculable valor cuando realizó este film. Es en un tiempo y un lugar indefinidos: una mezcla de los que vivíamos a pleno los 80's y con reminiscencias de "Grease" en la moda y los escenarios, así como en los automóviles, tipo T-Bird. La historia (atemporal en realidad) es "Atrapante" y tiene una Intensidad y un Sentimiento tan Palpables, que deja a Romeo y Julieta en el lugar de un "Cómic" o una fotonovela. Diane, excelente en su rol de la cantante Ellen Aims, pero un tanto fría en sus expresiones y falta de alegría y de la calidez de la que hace gala la carismática Devorah Vankelburgh, que realmente hace de una hermana cariñosa, de carácter, de empatia hacia las personas con las que comparte sus días y con un deseo inacabable de que primen la paz y la justicia bajo esos puentes de Chicago, que vi alguna vez en "El Golpe" y poder seguir gozando en plenitud ese "Universo del Rock Sentido y de la Eternal Juventud del Cuerpo y del Alma"...Michael: el duro americanito, de enorme prestancia y valores internos, casi indiferente como un " Bogart" pero enamorado en la mirada ( socarrona a veces) cuando se burla de Fish y Ellen al verlos abrazados en el asiento del coche del tren, que no vacila en jugarse la vida por su amada...Amy Madigan (Mc.Coy) un personaje hermoso, corajudo y solitario, con un universo interno lleno de heridas que aún no cicatrizaron, que definiría como el exponente del "cine del desamparo", endurecida por fuera, pero de un corazón y un Amor Grandes como la Vida Misma. Brutal e hilarante por momentos, como cuando voltea de un puñetazo al desconsiderado Barman.; masculina en sus modales y " Muy Sexy" para muchisimos amigos míos que la vieron: para mi es hermosa y de instintos fuertes como actriz, y tiene una mirada muy dulce...Y William Dafoe: Sobresaliente como Siempre: un prototipo de horror, poesía y fantasía con el que hace su juego al actuar. El villano brutal y deslumbrado por la hermosa cantante, incapaz de perder: ni de perderla... Tan bueno como en sus otros papeles: de Eliah en "Pelotón" o de Redentor en " La Ultima Tentación de Cristo", film excelente y muy censurado, pero el único que muestra cuando Jesús fue a estudiar con los Esenios...y Rick Moranis: el que le pone precio a todo y se escuda en el dinero para tener estatura, la que no le da el físico. Muy lejos del papel de nobleza y fidelidad que le tocó interpretar en "Los Intocables. Acá un engreidito al que No le habían puesto los puntos. La banda sonora, los "Blasters", el timing del film, las locaciones, en suma Todo el film, es uno de los Títulos que un verdadero cinéfilo, No puede dejar de disfrutar ni de perdérselo. Y yo, puedo decirles que viví un Gran e Imborrable Amor con este film, de esos que hoy, casi a mis sesenta, te mantienen joven por siempre: como " La Rosa" o "Nace una Estrella" con la Middler y la Streisand: Universo del Rock que Rejuvenece tus Días, y los Enaltece. Gracias, Walter Hill!...Gracias Chicos. Abrazos a Todos..."
Everyone speaks about Diane Lane and I can definitely understand that ;-) But am I the only one with a crush for Deborah van Valkenburgh who plays Tom Cody's sister ? I find her so sweet and charming in this movie.
Although i havent born in that time the movie was made but just because of diane lane i watched it in 2017 i guess if im not wrong just for you diane lane the ultimate beauty
I was a teenager when I watched this movie for the first time. I watched it today again, and I'm 45 now. Man, it's timeless! I still listen to the soundtrack!
Diane lane was a teenager aswell.😬
@@paulbirkbeck1790 yeah, she was only 19!!! Amazing!

ダイアンレインは美しくカッコいいし、マイケルパレもカッコよくて大好きだ😍サントラは今でも好きでたまに聴くけど良いです！懐かしい！
I watched this movie for the first time in 86 and fell in love with every bit of it. Now 32 years later, I'm watching it again and falling in love all over again. Best Rock'n Roll movie of all time.
It was 1986 too and the local cinema was playing it. I will always remember that night! Take me back to the 80s, leave me there!
I never saw this until the mid 90's which is weird cuz i had HBO and Cinemax and saw just about every movie in the eighties. Especially comedies. When I discovered this, I was like, wtf? Rick moranis, diane lane, willem defoe? Where had I been?
Love forever.The entire movie was riveting.The music and choreography flawless.

It's one of the few movies that gets better over time because you realize no one will ever make a film like this again. EPIC.
The soundtrack was EVERYTHING
A Rock & Roll Fable!
The neon splashed sets were a big part of this movie too. Just love the way the film looks.
Its a shame all the combined singers never performed this live.... ellen aim's voice was a combination of view singers to create 1 magnificent voice..
One of the most underrated movies in history.
Since the 80s', the first time I watched the movie, Streets of Fire has been the classic I'll never forget, roaring fantasy rock that swings between the 50s' and the 80s'!!

The world wasn't ready for it. For me it became a cult movie though.
Diane Lane is absolutely magical in this role!!! 😍😍
She is
How gorgeous was Diane Lane and Michael Paré!? One of my fav movies. I watch this at least once a year. Now it’s on Netflix! Soooo good.
William DeFoe........insanely magnificent. One of the best actors STILL working. Every role he made his own, from the 80s to hell, tomorrow. He will bury most of us and look good doing it.
Good old William DeFoe.....I've heard he's almost as good as that Willem Dafoe fella......
Not a word about Jim Steinman who composed the two best songs on the movie, "Nowhere Fast" and "Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young".
2 absolute classic songs.
You are right, that was a bit odd but I wonder if it was edited out by the poster?
@@Turco949 ... sadly, we just lost Jim in 2021... The man was a legend and his legend lives on..
@@Flexicon9 Oh man...RIP.

One of my favorite movies ever! Those songs are perfect for singing in the car at the top of your lungs 😊
I love Walter Hill. I love this movie. Michael Pare is very subdued but great in this role. Willem Dafoe is absolutely frightening. Very underrated film.
This is my favorite movie with Michael Paré. Next is Philadelphia Experiment. And Moon 44 is also good.
Yes, this perfectly showed the shocking diversity of Defoe. Something audiences would get used to in future years. You can't even recognize him. LOL
Wow, Diane Lane was beautiful, she still is but I never imagined she was so much beautiful
She was but she had just emerged from being a child star (she was on the cover of Time magazine which was huge back then).
It felt a bit uncomfortable and weird for the viewing public to look at someone that way who you thought of as a child 5 years earlier.
The fact that Christopher Lambert was regularly sticking it in her in the 80s is goddamn travesty I might add.
Nice try folks. The long awaited troubled production has finally released on Friday June 29, 1984

A Universal-international and
StudioCanal presentation of a
Lone Wolf/Intermedia/Silver Pictures production, Universal-

This movie was amazing. The music was just as great..would love to see at least a part 2 with all original actors😍😍😍😍
Saw it in 84 as a freshman in high school. Great movie, great music, 18 year old Diane Lane. Yep.
Diane was just...the PERFECT Ellen Aim.
She's beautiful.
trustobey1016 was!!
Even though she was lip syncing her 'singing' performances really nail the rockstar style. She really makes the songs seem like they come from her. Amazing.
Diane Lane is just ...perfect
She’s really pretty!
Still love this movie.
I have the movie, soundtrack even a tshirt. Now that is dedication to a great movie. One of, if not my all time favorite films.
@Mastema Sounds great, I wish I had room for a poster from that movie. Your right it is awesome.
William Defoe was not mentioned. Great actor
Without him, this film would be empty...
pretty sure he was there..
and he was so young there too
Because he's the only one who's had a long and successful career. Michael Pare never really caught on Diane Lane sunk into obscurity for years. The 2 supporting actors, Rick Moranis and Amy Madigan retired early for family reasons I think.
They were really pushing Michael Pare in the 80s as another James Dean but I always though he was kind of unmemorable. It was Dafoe who made you sit up in the theater and think, "who is *that* guy?"
@@texasred2702 Amy Madigan still acting since November 1977, but she's not retiring nor something else.
The best 80s movie ever
maybe soundtrack; but honestly, didn't you think movie, well, sucked?
It had its flaws, but I thought it was a fun movie for back then. Now unfortunately, it’s a movie that’s lost in time. I watch it sometimes for nostalgia, but I would never say it was bad.
john moyers this movie never sucked!! I still got this movie, great memories of this movie!! Only problem was they casted none famous guy in it!! If they casted kurt Russell, maybe different story or feelings....
My favorate movie as a kid
Yesss
Great movie. Loved it as a kid and it still works today
I can't believe how young Diane Lane, and Michael Paré were. She was 19, and I was 13/14. One of my all time FAVORITE movies.
5 years earlier, she was the lead in A Little Romance with Lawrence Olivier, Sally Kellerman and Broderick Crawford. She had chops and everyone knew it.

He definitely very good looking back then.

They make a great double bill.

Streets of Fire being an underrated movie through its a great cult classic plus the Dan Hartman song I can dream about you
And finally it’s on the Mercury Records label under the PolyGram
banner from 1984.
Fun fact. Defoe’s number two in The Bombers is Lee Ving. He is the lead singer of the punk rock band FEAR.
Yes and I think he was also in the wildlife
*Dafoe
Damn, I wanna go back to '84
My God to think we were all so young and beautiful once.

join the club
yum

Lane whew like work of art come to life
WTF? No words about Jim Steinman?? OMG... This is not a fair world.
Come on let it go! The cult film has one great soundtrack on the
Mercury/PolyGram Records label from 1984 which features some of the best known artists in the
business: Jim Steinman and
including the theme music from
the film was “I Can Dream
About You.” Performed by the

She had that amazing look of classic Hollywood actresses....😍😍😍
Linda la pelicula, las de ahora si tienen algo pero no son tan trascendentes como esta
I wouldve been about 17 or 18 when I hired this on VHS...59 now 😯
Absolutely loved it..went out & bought the soundtrack vinyl, which I played to death(not quite as i still have it).

A great dark, rock n roll, action movie. I wish it was a hit. But luckly, it gain a cult following. Im one of them

I love the rock opera/musical genre; Tommy, Rocky Horror, The Wall, Jesus Christ Superstar, Little Shop of Horrors, etc. Though sometimes, the acting doesn't match the music, I think taken as a whole entity rather than just certain aspects, these movies entertain me to no end
STILL one of my all-time favorite movies!!!
God I wish no one ever aged & stay beautiful forever , it’s not that I’m vain I just feel that when you’re younger you expect so much with the stamina be able to do it.
This movie is one of my favorite.. the 2 songs are awesome. WHERE CAN I SEE THE MOVIE??
It’s streaming on Netflix right now. I watched it for the millionth time.
Just been restored and released on 4k UHD. That's the best way to see it.
Terrific film. Pretty lackluster films today.
Excellent movie!
I love Walter Hill movies. And The Blasters rocked.

"Walter Hill hizo una " Joya" de incalculable valor cuando realizó este film. Es en un tiempo y un lugar indefinidos: una mezcla de los que vivíamos a pleno los 80's y con reminiscencias de "Grease" en la moda y los escenarios, así como en los automóviles, tipo T-Bird. La historia (atemporal en realidad) es "Atrapante" y tiene una Intensidad y un Sentimiento tan Palpables, que deja a Romeo y Julieta en el lugar de un "Cómic" o una fotonovela. Diane, excelente en su rol de la cantante Ellen Aims, pero un tanto fría en sus expresiones y falta de alegría y de la calidez de la que hace gala la carismática Devorah Vankelburgh, que realmente hace de una hermana cariñosa, de carácter, de empatia hacia las personas con las que comparte sus días y con un deseo inacabable de que primen la paz y la justicia bajo esos puentes de Chicago, que vi alguna vez en "El Golpe" y poder seguir gozando en plenitud ese "Universo del Rock Sentido y de la Eternal Juventud del Cuerpo y del Alma"...Michael: el duro americanito, de enorme prestancia y valores internos, casi indiferente como un " Bogart" pero enamorado en la mirada ( socarrona a veces) cuando se burla de Fish y Ellen al verlos abrazados en el asiento del coche del tren, que no vacila en jugarse la vida por su amada...Amy Madigan (Mc.Coy) un personaje hermoso, corajudo y solitario, con un universo interno lleno de heridas que aún no cicatrizaron, que definiría como el exponente del "cine del desamparo", endurecida por fuera, pero de un corazón y un Amor Grandes como la Vida Misma. Brutal e hilarante por momentos, como cuando voltea de un puñetazo al desconsiderado Barman.; masculina en sus modales y " Muy Sexy" para muchisimos amigos míos que la vieron: para mi es hermosa y de instintos fuertes como actriz, y tiene una mirada muy dulce...Y William Dafoe: Sobresaliente como Siempre: un prototipo de horror, poesía y fantasía con el que hace su juego al actuar. El villano brutal y deslumbrado por la hermosa cantante, incapaz de perder: ni de perderla... Tan bueno como en sus otros papeles: de Eliah en "Pelotón" o de Redentor en " La Ultima Tentación de Cristo", film excelente y muy censurado, pero el único que muestra cuando Jesús fue a estudiar con los Esenios...y Rick Moranis: el que le pone precio a todo y se escuda en el dinero para tener estatura, la que no le da el físico. Muy lejos del papel de nobleza y fidelidad que le tocó interpretar en "Los Intocables. Acá un engreidito al que No le habían puesto los puntos. La banda sonora, los "Blasters", el timing del film, las locaciones, en suma Todo el film, es uno de los Títulos que un verdadero cinéfilo, No puede dejar de disfrutar ni de perdérselo. Y yo, puedo decirles que viví un Gran e Imborrable Amor con este film, de esos que hoy, casi a mis sesenta, te mantienen joven por siempre: como " La Rosa" o "Nace una Estrella" con la Middler y la Streisand: Universo del Rock que Rejuvenece tus Días, y los Enaltece. Gracias, Walter Hill!...Gracias Chicos. Abrazos a Todos..."
The movie is terrible. El horrible.
Everyone speaks about Diane Lane and I can definitely understand that ;-)
But am I the only one with a crush for Deborah van Valkenburgh who plays Tom Cody's sister ? I find her so sweet and charming in this movie.
She was hot
Watched it in 2024 and it was pretty fun. Pure 80's, naive, one-liners and exploding cars😂
One of my favorite movies n my teenage years 🤣👌
I love Streets of Fire!
Although i havent born in that time the movie was made but just because of diane lane i watched it in 2017 i guess if im not wrong just for you diane lane the ultimate beauty
