U.S. label Shout Factory has announced that it will release on Blu-ray director Walter Hill's classic film
Streets of Fire (1984), starring Michael Paré, Diane Lane, Willem Dafoe, Rick Moranis, and Amy Madigan. The release, which will be part of the label's recently launched Shout Select line, is expected to arrive on the market in May.
The label has also confirmed that the upcoming release will be a
two-disc set which will be sourced from a brand new 2K master struck from an interpositive and will have an entire bonus disc with new and archival supplemental features.
Synopsis: Amid a brooding rock & roll landscape, the Bombers motorcycle gang, led by the vicious Raven Shaddock (Willem Dafoe), kidnap diva Ellen Aim (Diane Lane). Her hope for rescue lies with unlikely heroes: soldier of fortune Tom Cody (Michael Pare) and his sidekick, the two-fisted beer-guzzling, McCoy (Amy Madigan). Joined by Ellen's manager, Billy Fish (Rick Moranis), the trio plunges headfirst into a world of rain-splattered streets, hot cars, and deadly assassins.
This cult hit features a razor-sharp cast and original songs written by Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty and Ry Cooder and performed by such greats as The Blasters and The Fixx.
Streets of Fire is a rock & roll shotgun blast to the senses.
