An absolute gem of a movie. A true rock n roll fairy tale and easily in my top 10 of favorite films of all time. It's so simple in structure and dialogue yet it is the only movie of its kind (that I know of). 80s music set in a 50s world, goons that terrorize a small town, clear cut villain and hero who fight for a rock n roll 'princess' and two constantly bickering sidekicks. It sounds so formulaic, but it is different from anything you have seen before. A true classic that proves once again that you don't need a 100 million dollar production to do something special. Oh and the music... it's so good. 'Nowhere fast' and 'Tonight is what it means to be young' will make you wanna steal a car and wring it out.

Overatted. Yeah it's stylish to a degree, but you can't polish a turd. The story is boring. The dialogue is boring. The characters are boring. The lead actor was crap. I got bored of watching some hollow characters walking the same dark wet streets, occasionally lit by fire or neon. The music was comfortably naff.

Maybe I'm a sucker, but I love this movie! Great music, a good story, graphic novel style violence, 50's Greasers mixed with 80's punk. Just a lot of fun to watch.

Winchester lever action to take on biker gang in the club. Maybe Henry rifle? Quite a few millennium falcon noises here and there.

Very under-rated film with epic songs written by the same man who wrote 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' and most of Meat Loaf's best selling hits from 'Bat Out of Hell' and 'Bat Out of Hell 2: Back from Hell". Look for the woman who voiced the D.J. in 'The Warriors' as the train operator. "OK, let's get down to it Boppers"
