Streets Of Fire - 1984 - 6/10
A full throttle rock concert is crashed by a gang of bikers.
Large, bruising specimens, dressed in 50’s attire.
They clobber down resistance, then kidnap the female singer.
Then they disappear … as does the high octane energy of the film.
Oh yeah, sure, an ex-boyfriend is hired to locate and rescue the damsel.
Philip Marlowe, he ain’t. Plus, the comic touches; some liked those, most did not.
Outstanding soundtrack runs like a flood.
The finale had me going, “Really? That’s the best you could come up with?”
