Criminally, there is no BluRay yet

This long-form post at Metafilter about one of our favorite 80’s movies sent me looking, but it turns out that while Streets of Fire did get the HD-DVD treatment, there’s no BluRay version yet.

Guess I’ll have to buy a reg’lar DVD instead.

Seriously, though, go check out the MeFi post. It’s a great example of the form, calling out the names associated with the film you’ve probably forgotten, such as

  • Starring Amy Madigan, Rick Moranis, Michael Pare, Willem Dafoe, and Deborah Van Valkenburgh, with appearances by Bill Paxton and Mykelti Williamson
  • Directed by Walter Hill
  • Songs by Jim Steinman (i.e., “the dude who makes Meat Loaf sound like Meat Loaf,” and who is really due a Heathen treatment of his own)
  • a fucking sledgehammer fight
  • and Diane Lane at 18

What’s not to like? Expect a Heathen World HQ Viewing soon.

One thought on “Criminally, there is no BluRay yet

  1. Interesting coincidence- I just watched this movie for the first time a few months ago on a criminally badly transferred DVD.

    Diane Lane=mind blown. More of that, please.

    I was very proud of myself when I recognized Lee Ving during a fight scene.
