DVD Talk review of 'Streets of Fire'
I read Adam Tyner's DVD review of Streets of Fire at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=29422 and...
I was hoping they would include the music video's that came out on VHS so long ago (separate from the movie itself) but I'm glad the technical matters were an upgrade. It might be a guilty pleasure for some of us but Adam got it right when calling it a cult classic. Good review!

You need to seriously change your review to correct the assumption that a SHE MALE is dancing/stripping in the movie. The actress is Marine Jahan, a woman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_Jahan)
It is unfair to heap assumptions into this film when there is already so little known about it.

I can change it if you think it's confusing or offensive.

I think people already have no idea what the film is about and it could sway expectations either way unfairly.
and maybe its a geeky movie trivia pet peeve for one of my favorite films. Kind of like calling Frankensteins monster "Frankenstein"

Or have I been that stuck in the 80s?

When the CD was first released in the USA, it had such a generic cover (the back was yellow with a simple listing of the ten songs, leaving off the score IIRC and providing ZERO liner notes). I still prefer Nowhere Fast, Tonight is what..., and Sorcerer but Hartman's song got most of the airplay at the time.
