I like the whole movie but during the opening and closing minutes (basically when Jim Steinman songs are being performed) I’m convinced it’s the best movie ever made
Raven Shaddock and his gang of merciless biker friends kidnap rock singer Ellen Aim. Ellen's former lover, soldier-for-hire Tom Cody, happens to be passing through town on a visit. In an attempt to save his star act, Ellen's manager hires Tom to rescue her. Along with a former soldier, they battle through dangerous cityscapes, determined to get Ellen back.

Willem Dafoe? More like Willem "DA FOE" :O(this is my worst review of all time)
walter hill, ridley scott and michael mann all figured out the special secret formula to making a great movie in the 80s: just pour gallons of water onto the streets so you can capture all those sweet, sweet reflections on celluloid. yet at some point in the 2000s, filmmakers forgot this secret, and as a result, cinema has become much, MUCH worse. bring back the wet pavement!!!
