I’ll Show You… Streets of Fire (1984)

Welcome to another episode of I’ll Show You Mine! It’s April again and that means it’s time for our topsy turvy switcharoo episodes! This year, James is showing Elyse ‘Streets of Fire’ from 1984. A “Rock and Roll Fable” directed and co-written by 48 Hrs and The Warriors director Walter Hill, ‘Streets of Fire’ tells the story of Tom Cody, a rough-and-tumble tough guy who heads back to his hometown when his ex-girlfriend, rockstar Ellen Aim, is kidnapped by bad guy biker Raven Shaddock and his gang, the Bombers. The movie is often cited as an inspiration for beat-em-up arcade games of the late 80s/early 90s, which is how it ended up on James’ radar.

Join us as we talk about the killer soundtrack, the cast of stars in the very early stages of their careers, and the rain-slick, neon-lit streets of “Another Time, Another Place…”

Our theme song is by us! James Sparkman and Elyse Wietstock.
