I could never figure out why this movie never took off and became successful. It cost about 15 million dollars to make in 1984 and it only made about 8 million at the box office. They were planning for it to be a trilogy but after the first one failed that was all scrubbed. It is a good action movie with a good soundtrack. I never understood why it never made it.
Kinda a take off from EDDIE & The CRUISERS .. Michael was the MAN In that Rock N Roll Show too .... Sadly that didn't do a lot Better .. :/ THIS IS ONE OF MY VERY FAV MOVIES!
I think back in the day people never understood the movie plot, is it in 50s or recent? All the ingredient of hit movie was there, boy next door lead actor, tempress lead actress & d Badass villian & the music, it was just not for the mainstream.
There were quite a few of those in the early 80s. They failed at the box office but became big hits on video rental. Big Trouble in Little China and Silverado were the same.
The song playing in the scene "Deeper and Deeper" is like a Zen Ninja mantra that perfectly describes what it's like facing somebody who may try to kill you. Spent 20 years in the Army. Love this movie.
Final Fight 3 music playing at the start & end of the video is so fitting seeing as Streets of Fire was actually Capcom's inspiration for creating the Final Fight games & even based one of the 3 main characters of the first game Cody Travers on Streets of Rage protagonist Tom Cody.
Great movie, great soundtrack! Michael Pare is the epitome of cool! One tough customer, resident bad ass. Between Michael Pare and James Remar they've got the world of badboys sewed up. Two good looking guys who are manly men, the type that always gets the hot girl, these two guys surely have it going on! When I see that Michael Pare is in a movie, I make it a point to watch it... Eddie & the Cruisers and Streets of Fire, need I say more?!.
love that they had Deborah Van Valkenburgh in this movie loved her in The Warriors, Michael Pare was badass in this movie so was Amy Madigan, this movie was originally gonna be a trilogy pity it wasn't
"Streets of Fire" and "The Warriors" both cult classics and directed by Walter Hill.....have them both on CD and the actress Lynn Thigpen was in both movies, In The Warriors (1979) (She appears as the radio announcer, only her lips are seen.) & in Streets of Fire (1984) (She appears as a subway train engineer, reading in her train; brief dialogue with the Michael Parer.)
I ABSOLUTELY, LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!! It's, genuinely, entertaining, somewh😢realistic, and somewhat, comical, at the same time!!!! Just enjoy the movie, for what it is.. A, futuristic romp, in the action, genere!!!!
Hey @neros77 You king. 👑 I just went back to your first post for this channel? I reckon I started following and listening from only a few tracks in. Definitely started when I first heard Mitch murders "remember when?
Gotta love a hero of an action movie that's able to just slap the shit out of the bad guys and taunts them while doing it...Oh no. Master of Disguise flashbacks! AH!.....
nope, it's not. Hold that Snake is a completely different tempo. I've done a lot of research on this song and it doesn't exist. Ry Cooder did part of the soundtrack for the movie and this song seems to be just a 45 second fill he did.

It is one of my all time favourites. It is the most underrated movie in history in my honest opinion. The best? Not sure but never given its dues.

@@ambiepotolin6853 This movie introduced me to the Blasters.

This scene was ICONIC in my time
This movie is a classic. I never get tired of watching it. Michael also does a great role in the Eddie & the cruisers movies.
Which was his debut !~! now where's my butterfly knife ? Gotta practice this scene; hopefully I won't lose any fingers along the way!!! lol!~
Philadelphia experiment
He has many new movies that will be coming out... I also enjoy watching The Philadelphia Experiment ...
Greatest "understated tough guy" scene on film.
+Clayton Pauze I agree, it was a low-key yet badass intro. Added bonus: He beat up Greasers
Well.... I'll add "Second hand lions" to that. ua-cam.com/video/gkccqolaVGg/v-deo.html
Cheers from Sweden!!!!
He's basically Michael biehn meets James remar
So many great scenes in this movie topped off by one of the best Soundtracks ever. The final fight is epic as well!!! Fantastic movie.
10-9-2011. He's full of glee at 53. Happy Birthday, Michael. You've come a long way since The Greatest American Hero.
A great cult classic, one of my favorites. I like it on so many levels.
This is what happens when you're a former student of The Greatest American Hero.
Mike is a GREAT ass kicker and Dan Hartman's song: 'I can dream about you' absolutely should have won the Oscar for best song!!!!
Ohhh myyyy..... 🤗 He is gorgeous, plus that deep voice!! 🔥
All-Time Favorite FILM!!!
The 80s just kicked ass!! bad ass dudes an no emo wusses to be seen!! This is manliness at it's best!!
He was a beauty indeed
Tom Cody was my hero as a kid.
Damn, the main hero in this film has to be part Native American, because that was Chief Slapahoe that I just saw right there.
My all time favorite movie and this is one of the best scenes!! God i love the soundtrack
Me too! I wish Ry Cooder's score for the movie was released.
This edit is hilarious. Equivalent of beating a dirty rug. 🤣
The song playing in the scene "Deeper and Deeper" is like a Zen Ninja mantra that perfectly describes what it's like facing somebody who may try to kill you. Spent 20 years in the Army. Love this movie.
Thank you for your Service.
I loved this movie....
Cool film. A classic. From actor to producer, still going strong. Now I have to find the video to show my kids.
😂😂😂😂😂 all those smacks! Damn I wish the real scene was this way. Beautiful!
U Gotti watch my name is Nobody. Ole western.
This guy would of been good in the warriors movie and the outsiders
Trinity is still my name. bar scene and you will see where they got the idea for this scene. Love them both
Final Fight 3 music playing at the start & end of the video is so fitting seeing as Streets of Fire was actually Capcom's inspiration for creating the Final Fight games & even based one of the 3 main characters of the first game Cody Travers on Streets of Rage protagonist Tom Cody.
I wonder how many guys tried to hand the knife back for a do over after seeing this. (and failed).
Great movie, great soundtrack! Michael Pare is the epitome of cool! One tough customer, resident bad ass. Between Michael Pare and James Remar they've got the world of badboys sewed up. Two good looking guys who are manly men, the type that always gets the hot girl, these two guys surely have it going on! When I see that Michael Pare is in a movie, I make it a point to watch it...

57th Street Temple, Texas in the 80's were wild between pool players.
Tonight is what it means ….to be young!
Jim steinman . Epic.
Awesome 80s movie.
Nowhere Fast.
love that they had Deborah Van Valkenburgh in this movie loved her in The Warriors, Michael Pare was badass in this movie so was Amy Madigan, this movie was originally gonna be a trilogy pity it wasn't
Rapid-fire bitch slap! Lol!
+Finntastique Yes indeed!! Haha!
Michael pare is such a good actor ;)
A lot of movies used to do that with the knife back in the 80s. Butterfly knives were the 'bad guy' weapon in many films then.
Sheer genius. The slo-mo at the end absolutely slayed me.
One of the best scenes ever.
For a second there I thought I was watching that cowboy movie Trinity 😄😁
Awesomest face slapping scene ever!
Michael Pare kicks ass every time.
I love this!!!
That was so awesome 😎👍😂
Yo Mike ! That was one of my Favorite Scenes and seeing you Cruising around in that Awesome "Cranberry Mercury" !
What did the five fingers say to the face? Slap!
FAF This movie IS iconic. I bought my first butterfly knife after watching this.
LMAO at the Final Fight 3 song in the beginning and end
Cody is so damn badass he hands the weapon back to the punk and dares him to try it again.
I love that this movie is basically Final Fight the Movie, Cody is....well, Cody. Now we just need Mayor Mike Haggar.
Cut-off sleeves with suspenders....classic.
Priceless 😂🤣
Shades of TRINITY!
"Streets of Fire" and "The Warriors" both cult classics and directed by Walter Hill.....have them both on CD and the actress Lynn Thigpen was in both movies, In The Warriors (1979) (She appears as the radio announcer, only her lips are seen.) & in Streets of Fire (1984) (She appears as a subway train engineer, reading in her train; brief dialogue with the Michael Parer.)
Do you know the name of the music when TOM CODY comes home in the beginning?? It has the Rockabilly beat?? ANY HELP???
Deborah Vansomething appears in both as well
I ABSOLUTELY, LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!
It's, genuinely, entertaining, somewh😢realistic, and somewhat, comical, at the same time!!!!
Just enjoy the movie, for what it is..
A, futuristic romp, in the action, genere!!!!
Wow, Michael Pare was hot as hell!
If he did that and said try it again punk I would just run off lol
This edit had me rolling. 😂
I hated it. I wish the scene has been left alone. It was great the way it was shown in the movie.
Best movie and hero.
It's not often you see someone bitch-slapped into oblivion!
One- don't fuck with Micheal Pare. Two- double don't fuck with Micheal Pare when he has a mustache.
Hey @neros77
You king. 👑
I just went back to your first post for this channel?
I reckon I started following and listening from only a few tracks in. Definitely started when I first heard Mitch murders "remember when?
The guy got factory reset...
Oh, FY, just give us the whole scene w/o your fancy-boy edits!
@@srbaruchi Lol 😅
You look up the word Bitch Slap, and there’s a link to this video
lol, I'm also not surprised that you of all people have this clip uploaded neros XD
He slapped the brakes off the fool!!!
Reminds me of the Old Trinity Western Movies- you gotta see them if you have not scene Trinity the Italian Western Series....
Gotta love a hero of an action movie that's able to just slap the shit out of the bad guys and taunts them while doing it...Oh no. Master of Disguise flashbacks! AH!.....
Tom Cody, Pleased to meet ya
I had the biggest crush on Tom Cody back in the day lol
Try it again punk ;-) I got no clue sorry
I love the background music in this scene!...Does anybody know who performs it???
Ry Cooder. 👍👍
at least have the whole scene
Nice job. Looked so real
I wish you would post the whole scene
This must be the most unrealisic bar fight ever.
Great movie .
LOL. Great parody of the editing tricks used in the movie.
I do believe that the "punk" is no other than the son of William Smith, otherwise known as Falconetti from "Rich Man, Poor Man"
Michael Pare is slap happy.
Not even close by far the greatest bitch slap scene EVER and I mean EVER
This is the first science I thing of whenever I hear the title of this movie, the word: butterfly, or butterfly knife, or embarrassment!!!
TOM CODY WAS A BADASS!👊👊
More human than human.
Streets of Fire- Level 1- Diner Brawl against the Roadmasters!
This scene is replicated from a spaghetti western, with Terence Hill doing the same to a slim killer dressed in black.
Good job ;)
Ryan gosling would be class at this part these days
Anyone know the title of the background music in this scene ? It's not present on the OST and i search for it since 1984 ! Seriously.
A rather slap-happy dude!
I need a GIF of the Knife Scene... :)
HA, this video smacked me silly!
TOMM CODEY. PLEEZTA MEET'CHA
Diane Lane 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He was sooooo smoking hot.
Awesome poop man
when you screw with someones family,get ready for hell,warned
That’s an awesome 80s movie. (Sigh) they don’t make those anymore, nothing but Millenial shit now.
Hi, pretty sure the song is Who Do You Love by George Thorogood!
What did I just watch and how TH did I end up here?
the scene could have already been great without an edit
What was the exact knife he was using, i know it was a balisong, but it looked like he just popped the blade straight up
@lms- the song is hold that snake by Ry Cooder
nope, it's not. Hold that Snake is a completely different tempo. I've done a lot of research on this song and it doesn't exist. Ry Cooder did part of the soundtrack for the movie and this song seems to be just a 45 second fill he did.
What the Rockabilly song when Reva sends Tom Cody the cable to come home??? ANYONE KNOW THE NAME OF THAT MUSIC????
havingfun1968 ..check out
Ry Cooder. He did most of the sliding guitar music to the film.
heidi collins Thanks sooo much for the help. Many blessings...
