Yes indeed. I remember going to see it at the Empire Leicester Square in London when it was released. At the time this was the biggest and best cinema in the UK. The film looked and sounded so great, I saw it again a couple of days later. Happy times.
I just watched. The thing is, it's good, but this trailer basically show you exactly what to expect. There is nothing to this movie except what you see here. Edit: I'm reading my comment a month later, and it almost comes off negative. There's not much to it, but I LOVE what it does that other movies don't
This movie. So much to say. Just plain, straightforward heroism. It is fantastic. Jim Steinman's song are absolutely perfect in this movie. Worked at a video store around 89-90 and we obviously played movies on a monitor for customers. Streets of Fire was in HEAVY rotation. Incredibly underrated flick.
You can always tell when somebody writes a song. It has a Jim Steinmann feel the minute you listen to it. You can actually picture Meat Loaf actually singing it too.
Diane Lane here, still in her prime at 18 years old (she was born in January of 1965 according to imdb, film was shot from April to August of '83). Lovely lady, and very cool video with a very catchy tune -- it's practically a music video not a trailer!
Absolutely one of the greatest movies ever made! I don't have enough words to describe how much I love this movie. The cast, the sets, the music, the passion, the drama; it has it all. Diane Lane stole my heart in this film and never gave it back! This was the first movie that I saw Michael Pare, Diane Lane, Rick Moranis, Amy Madigan, Willem Defoe, or Bill Paxton in. They all went on to be in many great movies.
Nice way to put it. There was a very specific sub-genre of what you describe -- the 1950s revived and visually updated in the 1980s -- and this movie exemplifies it. It's an aesthetic that was also present in many music videos of the time, if memory serves. The colour scheme was distinctly 1980s, but much else harkened back to the '50s.
It takes place in "Another Time, Another Place" in an alternate world that's kinda the '50s, kinda the '80s, and kinda a dystopian future all at the same time!
@@pennydavis2637 I love this movie. It's very similar or the warriors but it's a weird mix of the '50s and 80's and the music is pretty cool and fitting.
In retrospect, it truly was a Rock N Roll western. It even said this either on the cover or in advertisement. It was a different world all its own no specific time or place. The music was just phenomenal and stayed with me as a 10 year old kid watching it in the 80s even though I didn't understand the story. Tom Cody was an elusive distant drifter. A man willing and able to protect what he loved. Ellen Aim, an artist with a drive and a dream going places. Their love was sweet,passionate, and doomed. They had that moment and that time. Could they have come back together at the end full circle? It's uncertain and unknown as is life. So "Tonight is what it means to be young" truly is deeply understood for me now at 46 years old. And grateful for those who I have met along the way.
Ok so, I consider myself an 80s fan. I was born in the early 80's, and I can't get enough of the music, movies fashion etc. I have spotted some of my all time favorite actors in this trailer. The song I can dream about you was always one of my favorites as a kid. So why in the F%#k have I never heard of this movie? It has Willem Dafoe, and Rick Moranis. Diane Lane is in it looking all badass, and the trailer literally shows T&A. What is happening? lol Where am I?
Yeah, this movie was like Blade Runner in that when it initially came out it technically flopped. But now its getting a cult status. I loved the movie when it hit and really didn't see why it didn't do better. I remember William Dafoe and Amy Madigan being my favorites in the film and we all know how great they became as actors later. Its one of thos emovies that was too far ahead of its time in that it wasn't set in any particular timeframe, had retro elements and lots of diversity. Glad its getting some shine now.
This movie was the inspiration for capcoms side scrolling beat em up FINAL FIGHT. They even named one of the 3 playable characters after CODY from streets of fire.
Also brought here in 2020 after reading the production notes on Final Fight, just 31 years after it's initial launch 😂😂 Fuck me! 31 YEARS!!! I feel old.
I found this movie by accident probably a year ago but it became a personal favorite of mine. Awesome music, cool action and main character, beautiful girl and a fun story. Love it! :)
Remember seeing this as a kid. *In a time before streaming before blockbusters a legend existed*..... Only known as...... The video man (Never knew his name he was the video-man) used to come around in a van with a selection of latest movies in the back. Every movie your hearts desired. A true hero. (least we forget "The video-man"). Good Times
LMAO this shit cracked me up!!! 😂😂 We had a video man!!! 😂😂😂 We'd see him on the weekends in the late 80s early 90s at a flea market where he used to set up a booth for the day. He would let me and my brothers flat out TRADE him! So if we saw Nightmare on Elm street 1, and then wanted to see 2, we'd go back and trade him. He didn't give a single flying F, we spent plenty of money with him anyway buying other tapes. Guy made tons of money. I never knew his name. All I can tell you is that he looked like the dad from The Wonder Years.
@@timrankin8737 It's where I saw this movie as well. In fact just today this movie popped up and I forgot all about it since the times I saw it back then on HBO. I was like, wait, why do I know this?
I saw this early 90’s, like 6/7.. and I just found it today.. I’ve always thought about this film and watching it. Ill turn the rewatch after over 30yrs into a huge movie night for myself
Chucking Dice I have always loved this movie,the songs "nowhere fast" and as far as I know "Tonight is what it means to be young" was written and performed by "Fire Inc", which included Bonnie Tyler and Meat Loaf (as I kind of mentioned,not sure who did what,Fire Inc was definitely part of the music making in this epic film... you have great taste
En mi opinion, esta pelicula representa la mejor banda sonora de film alguno en los 80s, muy por encima de Footloose, Dirty Dancing, TOP GUN, entre otras, simplemente la mejor de la decada
I watched this movie with my girlfriend recently. And we loved every second of it. I cried for one reason. The fact that they don't make movies like this anymore. 80s and 90s were 'the' era of movies.
Streets runs on a B-movie script with A-movie players and production values. It's fun, fun, fun with kudos to Michael Pare, Amy Madigan, Rick Moranis, and Willem Dafoe. The film leads you into a fantasy world where its unlikely characters and action make poetic and musical sense. I loved it.
How Willem Dafoe has not played the Joker is baffling. Walter Hill has directed some AMAZING scorchers in his career, including The Warriors, Southern Comfort, Extreme Prejudice, 48 Hours and The Driver.
@@rogersmartinjr.8588 You shouldn't. Look at what's happened to Henry Cavill. They made him Superman, The Witcher, Sherlock Holmes and The Man from Uncle. And now, he's none of them, the world got fed up. The world needs variety, not the same damn actor playing EVERY prominent role. Got it now kid ?
This movie definitely inspired Final Fight, but there were a bunch of gang movies in the 70s-80s like The Outsiders, The Warriors, The Wanderers (notice a pattern) that inspired brawler games
That's funny because just last night I stumbled across BubbleGum Crisis opening here on yt. It instantly reminded me of this movie. I sent The BGC opener AND Nowhere Fast to my buddy and told him that I'd bet it all that BGC lifted the vibe. Hell, the songs sound practically identical. BGC lead me to a deep dive on SOF which lead me here. Go figure.
I like the way the movie looks like this. It looks more raw, like it hasn't been digitally enhanced and cleaned up and everything. The contrast in a lot of scenes doesn't look fixed.
I remember seeing this in the theater when it first cam out and was blown away by it. William Dafoe was such a scary character. He was so young and new to Hollywood when cast in this film. And how about the beautiful Diane Lane. Also so very young in this film. A lot of hit songs came from the soundtrack as well.
I saw this movie when I was in the 9th grade and I loved it. Michael Pare’ played a real tough guy and Diane Lane is beautiful in it. Walter Hill great director
Before this she did Rumble Fish and The Outsiders as a teenager and a few co-star opportunities with some of cinemas biggest names before that as a child actor. Been around for a long time and still goin' strong. Probably like her best in Lonesome Dove.
I remember going to see this movie at the theater years ago. And what actually enticed me to want to check it out was the song and video called "I Can Dream About You".
Tonight is What it Means to be Young Walter Hill's classic highly stylized 'rock and roll fable' has gained a huge cult following since its original 1984 release and with its backdrop of rain-drenched neon-lit streets is one of the most visually iconic films of the decade
How about when Pare could bean Raven after he drops his hammer but instead he throws his hammer away too? A nice touch. Restarts that whole battle AGAIN on the spot. Two fight scenes for the price of one.
It may not have been a box office hit, but this movie inspired some of the best beat 'em ups of the 80s and 90s; Final Fight, Double Dragon and Streets of Rage.
How are you guys just now hearing about this? I've been all over this since it came out, I remember when the video for "I Can Dream About You" came out, and my parents rented it the next Summer.
0:12- Why are people's girlfriends always getting kidnapped in 1984? 0:26- A world that asks "Do you want the 1950s or the 1980s?", and you answer "Yes." 0:39- Sergio Leone has already retired The Good the Bad and the Ugly. We needed new descriptions.
This movie needs a remake. Was going to be a series of movies but they were cancelled when the move didnt do well at the box office, great movie with a great soundtrack.
A movie buff and huge 80s fan yet for some mysterious reason I missed this flick!? I am starting to believe there are multiple dimensions and time-to-time things from other dimensions are colliding with the one this version of me is living in.
Diane Lane was absolutely gorgeous in this film. And Michael Pare' was just awesome. What a great fun film. Hill produced several great under rated works, but this one is his best.
When I was a kid, I always thought the coolest scene in this movie was where the hero rescues the chick with his butterfly knife. And oh yeah, you better believe I practiced that scene in front of the mirror too.
I've got a buddy who for DECADES has been my movie-bro. Just last night I reference SOF and he said that he's never seen it. I couldn't believe it. I've spent DECADES believing our shared cinema experiences both contained this movie. Blows my mind when people say they've never seen it. I don't know how. I saw it several times in the theatre and COUNTLESS times since then on video, dvd AND am going to buy the bluray.

So did I. A music video, action film.! Streets of Fire!
Bruh, whoever did the editing for theis trailer deserves an award. I brought this movie instantly after seeing this.
100% it’s amazing actually because the fast paced, lack of dialog with music over dynamic editing in this trailer is so current in the 2020s
For real. The movie is okay, I think its great but yeah its ok. But this trailer, this is one of the best trailers ever cut
Great film. Great soundtrack!
Perfect example of the old editing adage always cut on movement
There is something about the voice on these old trailers that transports me and is soothing
Like the pops on a vinyl record.
I saw at theater when this came out. I remember coming home to tell my mom about Willem Dafoe. He killed it! The best in this movie.
I was 14 when this movie came out. The 80s were the best years ever!!
Me too!
I was 4 when it came out, and it is my favorite movie still to this day.
I adore 80's movies but the other side, One's childhood is always best, for me the 2010's was the best cause it's my childhood period.

A movie buff and huge 80s fan yet for some mysterious reason I missed this flick!? I am starting to believe there are multiple dimensions and time-to-time things from other dimensions are colliding with the one this version of me is living in.
I envy you. Find the biggest screen you can and turn it up when the music numbers play.
Diane Lane was absolutely gorgeous in this film. And Michael Pare' was just awesome. What a great fun film. Hill produced several great under rated works, but this one is his best.
This was one hell of a movie!!!!
did I see Jimmy Iovine’s name in the credits??? thats wild!
When I was a kid, I always thought the coolest scene in this movie was where the hero rescues the chick with his butterfly knife. And oh yeah, you better believe I practiced that scene in front of the mirror too.
Man Awesome Movie I have To have it 😃🔥👍
The young Willem DaFoe!
Top 10 movies of the 80’s!
Streeeeeeeeeets of Fire! Strong desire! Burning deep in me!
I’m 39 years old. A huge Willem Defoe fan, how come I’ve never heard of this??
Make sure you've seen "The Loveless" if you like Dafoe.
I've got a buddy who for DECADES has been my movie-bro. Just last night I reference SOF and he said that he's never seen it. I couldn't believe it. I've spent DECADES believing our shared cinema experiences both contained this movie. Blows my mind when people say they've never seen it. I don't know how. I saw it several times in the theatre and COUNTLESS times since then on video, dvd AND am going to buy the bluray.
Diane Lane was very beautiful here in a specifically '80s way (which is the best way).
A noir, punk rock, gangster film with a kick ass soundtrack. Cash me in.
One of Walter Hills finest! I applaud you good sir. I love the music 🎶
I was today years old when I found out about this film and yep it's already on the way!!! 🔥
the origin of final fight and all the beat them up games.
grease and streets of fire ... best OSTs for me :)
エイミー マディガン この作品で印象着いたからフィールドオブドリームスのギャップがすごかった
MICHAEL PARE WAS A BADASS.......
Protomen anyone?
I just realized this is an alternate universe Scott Pilgrim
Elite level trailer voiceover
Rap didn't take over? I'M IN!!!
This sums up the wild, over-the-top, decade that was the 1980’s quite nicely. 💯🤘🏻😎
There's nothing wrong with going nowhere baby.
But we should be going nowhere fast!
Best song line EVER
this looks like MY KIND OF MOVIE!!!!!
I am solo addicted to this movie streets of fire anyone else
ME TOO!
Another one here.
I have never forgotten it. If I mention it to anyone, we both get giddy, and gush about how much we love it.
Thank you for the video.
I have owned this movie on vhs, dvd, bluray and 4k bluray. I love it!
Brilliant movie but seems to be forgotten
i can see why william dafoe was considered for the role of the joker back then.
