Keying Question

[edit]

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)[reply]

Plot Line

[edit]

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)[reply]

General Cleanup

[edit]

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

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)[reply]

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

Fair use rationale for Image:Streets of fire movie.jpg

[edit]

Image:Streets of fire movie.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Trivia

[edit]

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)[reply]

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

[edit]

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)[reply]

Roger Ebert "praise"

[edit]

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)[reply]
