But that was actually a pretty good show. From what I remember.

And Michael Mann's going to make a movie version.

Damnit, the premise is already going wrong.

I originally did it so that the big new interest of this site would be Eddie and the Cruisers, but I figured most people wouldn't know what the hell I was talking about.

First D & D, then Terry Brooks references, now this...and you're not even serious.

You're just mocking me.

Eddie and the Cruisers?! You must be the only other person that remembers that movie. "On The Dark Side" Oh. Yeah.

I remember Miami Vice solely for promoting the "five o'clock shadow = sexy" theme. It seemed like a terribly important new social construct, at the time.
You could stretch that out over, eh, buncha posts and pictures.

C'mon, they actually played JETHRO TULL on one of their episodes. That alone secures M.V. a place in the Pantheon.

They had one with G. Gordon Liddy playing the bad guy - that was awesome.

Fine. Be that way.

I only came here for the free cocktail weenies and inappropriate anal sex jokes.

Well you can say goodbye to that.

P.S. If Don Johnson was a chick, I'd probably do him/her. I would, contrary to my prior statements regarding 80's schtick culture, be on top.

Thank you for the format change. I was getting pretty tired of All Anka, All The Time.

5 Stars baby! And the DVD doesn't even exist yet.

You mention the Phil Collins songs but fail to mention that the Great Phil Collins has a recurring role on the show as an unscrupulous, nay dirty, TV game show host!

And how can you mention Don Johnson's album and leave out Philip Michael Thomas' "Livin' the Book of My Life"? Heartbeat? Pah!

Streets of Fire would have been fabulous as well. I mean that was just the quintessential 80s film and also starred Michael Pare and the butch version of Amy Madigan. Fabuloussss

Jennifer-

You forgot the totally hot Diane Lane!
(and the equally hot Rick Moranis.

Ace-

You got to right to your audience. As one of the creators of MS3K said, when asked if people would get a joke, "The right people will".

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie!!

Err... I meant "You gotta WRITE to your audience... Need more coffee

Ace, Michael Mann also did Manhunter (the real Hannibal Lecter movie, that other stuff is for poofters), which starred William Petersen, who also did To Live and Die in L.A. (soundtrack by Wang fricking Chung!), where he killed Willem Dafoe, then he stars in CSI, which rules the TV now.

And he's got a Bacon number of 2, and if anybody is 80's, Bacon is.

Any show that has the balls to blow up a Ferrari Daytona Spyder (replica) with a Stinger missile has, well, balls.

Ferrari Spyder --
12 layers of black lacquer
explode into dust.

I'm pretty sure that "The Smitty Fiasco" was an episode of MV.

Anyway, the one episode I clearly remember was the one where Bruce Willis starred. He was some sort of crime boss (natch) who liked to beat up his wife (girlfriend?). Crockett sets him up to get all locked up, then at the end he's about to go free, sneering to Crockett and the wife, "I got the juice, baby." Wife then shoots him, freeing him up to become John McClane.

Streets of Fire would have been fabulous as well.

I mentioned that as a "Semi-Eddie" movie.

The trouble with making fun of Streets of Fire for me, though, is that I really, really like it.

You can't do an ironic flip tribute about a movie that you actually think is really underrated.

It's the only movie I know featuring a mano-a-mano with sledgehammers. How cool is that?

You got to right to your audience. As one of the creators of MS3K said, when asked if people would get a joke, "The right people will".

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie!!

Damnit, I probably should have.

I had that quote on the sidebar about having Eddie and the Cruisers "for that nasty stuff."

The road not taken, alas.

...

Michael Mann also did Manhunter..., which starred William Petersen, who also did To Live and Die in L.A. (soundtrack by Wang fricking Chung!), where he killed Willem Dafoe, then he stars in CSI, which rules the TV now.

His Kevin Bacon number is 2.

I knew all of the foregoing, except how MM has a KB number of 2. Can you explain that?

BTW, Willem Dafoe got killed (well, knocked out) by "Tom Cody" at the end of Streets of Fire, which is actually an "Eddie" movie in the sense that Viva Las Vegas is an Elvis movie.

My goodness. I thought I was the only human being in the world who saw Streets of Fire and liked it. I had it on tape. It is some f'd up movie, but in a good way.

Geez, Ace.....Not only did you second guess your own instincts, but you didnt go as obscure as you could have! After all, EDDIE LIVES!!!!!!!!

Can't I get a little shout-out for the glory of the "resurrection" in Eddie and the Cruisers II? I mean, they even filmed the concert stuff prior to a BON JOVI concert, if I remember it right.

Hee hee. Look at Crockett's blousy suit. You half expect that he's barefoot.

Ace:

Ever hear of the John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band... they did the soundtrack to Eddie & the Cruisers... I had them play in the bar I ran in Oklahoma City a couple of times... they really kicked ass - put on a great show!!!

After Manhunter and To Liv and Die in LA, I thought William Petersen would become a huge movie star... I was glad to see him do well in CSI.

Same with Michael Pare after Streets of Fire... he did that crummy Houston Cop series many years ago, but haven't seen him in anything in a long time.

Now, excuse me while I go have some more flashbacks...

You guys, you guys. Do you really think I did an Eddie and the Cruisers riff and forgot to mention that EDDIE LIVES?!! I tried to put that into my banner.

And of course I mentioned the Beaver Brown Band, though I forgot the John Cafferty part of it.

Darnit, it looks like everyone was more in sync with the Eddie and the Cruisers theme than I expected.

I really thought that so much of this site is inside-jokes that it was a bridge too far to start bringing up a movie that only people of a certain age -- kids in 1983 -- ever f'n' heard of.

lauraw: I liked the part in Streets of Fire where Tom Cody slaps the shit out of the punk in the diner, takes that knife away from him, gives it back, and replays the while thing again... talk about a bitch-slappin'... LMAO... then he proceeds to kick the crap out of the whole gang, throwing them through the plate glass windows... The fight scene with Willem Dafoe was a classic too!

Awesome scene, Madfish. That really sets the tone.

I love that slapping thing, because, 1, you never see a man slap another man in a fight, and 2, it's so contemptuous. It's like he's saying, "I could punch you, but that would be too easy, so I am going to slap the crap out of you like you're a misbehaving teenager."

Then, of course, he steals his ride.

Speaking of "what ever happened to" and Streets of Fire, what ever happened to Deborah Van Valkenburg (sp?)? She played Pere's sister, owner of the diner. Before this, she was the girl in The Warriors (which was also a kick ass movie, but hasn't weathered well, I remember the fights scenes being cooler; 'course technically it's a 70s movie, but just barely)

Words and Music, Words and Music

Smitty? I'm still wondering what happened to Johnny Coldcuts.

Ace -

When in doubt, consult the Oracle of Bacon.

William L. Petersen was in Fear (1996) with Andrew Airlie

Andrew Airlie was in Trapped (2002) with Kevin Bacon

No, I don't know who the hell Andrew Airlie is, either.

Speaking of "what ever happened to" and Streets of Fire, what ever happened to Deborah Van Valkenburg (sp?)?

Hmmm... maybe your tastes are different than mine, but I've never wondered that.

She was, however, in Too Close for Comfort as the daughter who was not hot for some number of years.

Blaster,

Thanks, although I actually thought he was talking about Michael Mann being two removed from KB. Which I think would be trickier-- and I only count on-screen appearances.

Just a few words about Streets of Fire since I started this timewarp.

I wanted to *be* Ellen Aim down to that backless sparkly dress she wears at the end with the oh so fabulous Stoney Jackson quartet backing her up singing:

I've got a dream when the darkness is over
We'll be lying in the rays of the sun
But it's only a dream and tonight is for real
You'll never know what it means
But you'll know how it feels
It's gonna be over (over)
Before you know it's begun

It's all we really got tonight
Stop your crying hold on (tonight)
Before you know it it's gone (tonight)
Tonight is what it means to be young
Tonight is what it means to be young

Yes, yes...I was a child of the eighties and we all wanted to be Ellen Aim even if it meant kissing Rick Moranis :)

You can stop laughing at me anytime now...

Jennifer,
I'm not laughing, heck, I bought a "butterfly" knife and cut myself bloody trying to perfect the moves of Cody. Got pretty good at it, though (Incidentally, the psycho kid in Red Dawn also had a cool scene with one, also a classic 80s movie)

Now I'm certain that Instapundit is secretly reading you.
EXHIBIT A
EXHIBIT B (the Willis part)

Ace: I forgot all about the car stealing... that really adds insult to injury... getting bitch-slapped (more than once), taking a Texas-style ass-whooping, and then he steals your bad-ass hotrod to top it off... got to go down in history as one of the all-time "bad days"
