Streets of Fire 6.0 Out of 10
A Rock and Roll Fable
I don't understand how this is futuristic unless Rock and Roll music is King is futuristc.
Diane Lane very early in her career is Ellen Aim a famous singer of the band Ellen Aim and the Attackers. Raven (William Dafoe) the leader of the ruthless Motercycle gang the Bombers enter the Auditorium to kidnap her using guns the crowd is scared and leaves by running out. Wisecracks from multiple characters in this movie.
Tom Cody the ex Soldier returns, and is hired by Billy Fish (Rick Moranis) her current boyfriend and Manager to rescue Ellen but not without him going also along with the money price of being paid 10,000 Dollars.
The Tomboyish ex soldier McCoy hired for 10 percent to drive.
Tom destroys the Motercycles by shooting at the gas tanks that creates a panic while Mccoy is pointing a gun at the Bombers in a room. This proves successful because Cody sees where Ellen is in a room tied to a bed, he cuts the ropes. They get to the car but Cody stays behind, and shoots I think at a gasoline pump to continue to destroy the area of the Bombers.
Raven comes out finally happy to see he's found someone that plays as rough as him, there are lines obvious there is going to be a climax fight.
Cody and Ellen were once dating but for the possible reason of wanting to serve his country he left for the Military. Ellen became a famous during the time Cody was away, and there is still remains a connection between them like a on again off again couple.
Tom gets his reward tells Ellen there was a time he would have done anything for Ellen but not anymore, Ellen chases after Tom in the rain, kiss and the rest seems very familar if you have seen The Notebook.
A very good showdown fight with Raven and Cody, with vast Bombers armed with guns, and non Bombers also armed with guns on the other side surronding them to watch the climax fight.
Cody talks to Billy about Ellen telling him that he's ok with words, and it's him that Ellen needs. Cody has one last talk with Ellen that if she ever needs him for something he'll be there for her, kisses her, then it ends with Cody putting his bags in Mccoys car, and driving away.
