This brings back a lot of childhood memories. "On the dark side..."

Could live without the sequel but the original is a favourite of mine. Great news !

[Beauvoir]

I'll get this for sure just for the original.

Only saw the sequel once and hated it.

But the first one? C L A S S I C ! I LOVE the music, LOVE the story, LOVE the entire movie!
Wish the releases were separated, but heck, I'll take the first one any way I can get it.

I'll have to disagree with you there. The sequel was great, and I actually liked it better than the original. Both are awesome movies. But the first one is done in all flashbacks, in the sequel we actually get to see it play out through Eddie's perspective ( as his alter ego, Joe West)

Can't wait to upgrade my DVDS...This just became the best release of 2015...unless Rad gets released nothing will top this for me I'm especially happy part 2 is getting released...I know most people are meh about it but for me, being a working musician, I can really relate to the whole getting a band together and egos and all the crap that goes along with being in a band...definitely a great film Imo.

At least someone liked the sequel besides me

You should've checked one of my previous posts; I think the second one is better overall, though the first has an artistic charm to it.

I preordered this from Shout along with Breakin' and Class of 1984 a few days ago.

Someone mentioned "Streets of Fire" .. I still have an old HD-DVD player hooked up almost to just watch that movie. The colors are amazing and the sound is incredible. Might watch it tonight now.

'STREETS OF FIRE' is available on bluray but only in Germany and the UK. They are region B locked I believe but quite good quality with lots of extras.

When I saw the first film, I enjoyed the mystery and wondering if he was really alive towards the end. Then, once we saw who

[Show spoiler]the "Eddie" was, we settled back into accepting his death and that final scene in the store window was such a pleasant shocker.

But having part two displayed right beside part one called EDDIE LIVES

serves as a major spoiler for anyone who hasn't seen part one yet. I wish these two movies were on separate disks.

Still, the first film looks GREAT on this new blu and it sounds even better than it looks. I'm happy to finally have this.

[petspaps]

Would anyone know if this is region free? ..... please for the love of god be region free

[Blades1370]

About...... damn..... time.....

[Randall Flagg]

Great news! Now where is Streets of Fire?

[Scarriere]

^ Exactly!

Good news and thanks OP!

If the UK or German version are any indication of what we will be getting with the eventual US release (this is Universal after all), it just means they are going to use the exact same master they used for the HD-DVD presentation, slap it on Blu-Ray and call it a day.

The only hope we have is a smaller label like Shout for example, willing to take a risk and producing a new master for the film. Considering this film won't have a HUGE fan base, I don't see this happening.... but one can dream.

Yeah, lol, I get those two movies mixed up.

I saw the sequel first as a kid, and to this day I like it more than the first...but both are very good movies. The structure of the second is mostly straightforward narrative, whereas the first used several flashbacks for the bulk of its running time. There's also less of a mystery in the second one, but more of a personal struggle over the issue of choice vs. destiny.

[Malv1]

Love the first one... Second one was meh, but the first was epic!

[jayturner514]

Yes! Glad to see this one finally coming out
