Story Synopsis:
Filled with 1980s style and 1980s rock music, Walter Hill’s Streets Of Fire stars Diane Lane as Ellen Aim, a popular rock diva who gets abducted by a barbaric motorcycle gang known as the Bombers. Her manager (Rick Moranis), offers Ellen’s tough ex-boyfriend (Michael Paré) $10,000 to find and rescue the singer. A rugged female ex-soldier (Amy Madigan) offers her expertise to help in the rescue.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture is matted at 1.85:1. Picture quality overall is good. Colors are vivid with deep, solid blacks and natural fleshtones. There are some color fidelity inconsistencies in several scenes though, with some scenes too dark. Slight noise is apparent but otherwise there are no distracting artifacts.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack has robust bass extension and a well balanced rock music recording, but annoyingly noisy and lacking clarity
