Talk:Streets of Fire

Keying Question
How do you type the accent mark above the "e" in (Michael) Pare? Try as I might, I can't make it happen. Thanks. Kevin Scott Marcus 05:16, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Plot Line
The Plot section seems a bit bulky, more of a move transcript than a plot description. If it's going to be edited further (there's a continuation note at the end at the moment) can it be trimmed down a bit? Thanks. *Sparkhead 01:54, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

General Cleanup
Very non-npov, bad formatting of quotes, too much trivia, and potential copyright problems. Amber388 18:19, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I've taken some of the applicable trivia and put it into the Production section. I believe all of the quotes in that section are taken from the film's Press Kit. Count Ringworm 19:16, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I've tightened the text significantly, though it could be further compressed. I haven't seen the movie in years so I can't improve on the plot line right now. RCM May 10, 2007

Trivia
This stuff is unsourced and so I'm moving it here until it can be properly cited and integrated back into the article.--J.D. (talk) 18:19, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

The overalls and speech (specifically the line "looks like I finally found someone who likes to play as rough as I do") from the first appearance of the Crippler (comics) suggest he is patterned after the Willem Dafoe character.

Streets Of Fire was the main inspiration for the classic Capcom Arcade game "Final Fight" which featured a main character called Cody rescuing his girlfriend from a street gang, which in turn was an inspiration for the Megadrive/Genesis game "Streets Of Rage"

Start of production
I just watched a clip of Diane Lane on "The Tonight Show", dated 08.04.83. In the interview, she states that it's "the five-month anniversary date of the start of the film". I'm not sure exactly what she meant by that, but she said "I've been out here" just before that, so I think she meant filming. Tuxedo Mark (talk) 14:28, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Roger Ebert "praise"
The article says that Roger Ebert "praises" the film's dialogue, but when I read Ebert's review, I don't get the impression he's praising the dialogue so much as finding it peculiar ("strange" is the word Ebert uses). If no one objects, I'm going to modify this section accordingly. Chillowack (talk) 20:29, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
