Subject says it all. What was that silly garment Dafoe was wearing? Guess what? REAL bikers don't wear fag cut vinyl.

Hardly "stupid"; its just this kinda film. Sure, the things coming out of characters mouths are uniformly tacky, mostly delivered with a blunt macho swagger - even by Rick Moranis and that blonde sidekick woman - with some corny moralizing thrown in for good measure, but its apparently the kinda tone Hill was after (and, frankly, with brimming acting prowess of Michael Pares dimensions around, any more nuanced dialogue/characterization would have been off limits, anyway). For all its banal cornball elements and a thin story, the film always feels vibrant and alive with Hills customary great cinematography, production design and a well fitted soundtrack - in the end, its exactly the kinda rock n roll fantasy the opening disclaimer promised. Hardly some cornerstone of cinematic history, but still an inspired little piece of entertainment, kinda dopey as it may be. 7/10. Better than The Warriors where the inane machismo went annoyingly to eleven; Streets actually benefitting from also displaying a softer side lacking in that earlier picture.
