Streets of Fire is the surreal movie blending together lots of opposites 1950s and 1980s pop culture, retro and modern style, comic books, Westerns, musicals and action movies, parody and homage, nerds and cocky soldiers. Whether it works or not is a bit of a contentious issue, but I thought it was great and I wanted to be McCoy (Amy Madigan) more than Ripley (Sigourney Weaver).
