Streets of Fire

Great flick. One of my favorites.

Based on the John Ford Classic "The Searchers."

Directed by the great Walter Hill.

Originally this was supposed to be a musical sequel to Little Shop of Horrors.

They made it a non-musical prequel instead.

Actually this was a very musical movie.

The decision was made in post production.

That's how I saw it too, Troop.

Well, that, plus the eye candy. Michael Pare, to be precise.
BAD actor though. Good they kept his lines down to a minimum.

Hill was right. Create the tension with the good guys vs the bad guys theme. Create mood with "night" and "sound"...from motorcycles to horns to anthems. Throw in some neon, and let your story go...

We'll pick it up from here.
