STREETS OF FIRE (1984) poster art




None of these images really impress me and I think that is symptomatic of how the studio had no idea how to market this film. It is a strange one- A Rock & Roll Fable - but I think its one of Walter Hill's crowning achievements. And Hill made 48 HRS, THE WARRIORS, THE LONG RIDERS and THE DRIVER so that is high praise. I understand he had to trim the movie down for a PG rating so I hope one day he might be able to restore his full-blooded vision for video.

This movie is one of my all time favorites. Brave Cody who loves a girl he cannot have - the girl with the best name in Rock History - Ellen Aim and the Attackers - Diane Lane was never more beautiful.
