Cameron H. 23786 Posted July 22, 2019 Sweet! I’ve always wanted to watch this! 2 Share this post Link to post
Cameron H. 23786 Posted July 22, 2019 Hmm...I’m not seeing it anywhere. Amazon just has the second one and iTunes doesn’t have it at all. Share this post Link to post
SlidePocket 707 Posted July 22, 2019 Gonna get the Shout Factory Blu-ray which packs it with the sequel as a double feature! Share this post Link to post
Cameron H. 23786 Posted July 22, 2019 Has anyone found any other options? I’ve searched YouTube, Hoopla, Netflix, Amazon, iTunes, Tubi, Freeform, and Crackle. My library doesn’t have it, and I’m personally trying to get rid of my physical media so the Amazon prices are a bit much for something I’m just going to turn around and get rid of. Any other places I can look? I want to watch it, but I’m kind of at a loss right now. Share this post Link to post

Cinco DeNio 5290 Posted July 22, 2019 Michael Pare is the Streets of Fire Michael, not the Xanadu Michael, correct? Share this post Link to post

WatchOutForSnakes 807 Posted July 23, 2019 After reading the IMDb synopsis, I'll have to see if this is similar to Juliet, Naked, which I liked much more than I expected to. 1 Share this post Link to post

theworstbuddhist 572 Posted July 23, 2019 For real though, the first Eddie and the Cruisers is an underseen classic. Like a lot of films from the time I am guessing it is hard to find due to music rights. Apparently it was impossible to secure music rights in the 1980s? 1 Share this post Link to post

I also REALLY enjoyed Juliet, Naked, but it bears little resemblance to Eddie and the Cruisers. They are very different films, not just in their plots, but also in their aesthetics and in how they treat the in-universe music. 1 Share this post Link to post

I just wanted to make sure we were getting the better Michael, not the one Micaela Watkins describes in the Xanadu episode. "He's a frustrated artist and I think he was cast REALLY BADLY." Jason: "You think?" (I like Michael Beck just fine in The Warriors but he is a little flat there too.) Speaking of, the HDTGM Xanadu episode is being listened to in the first clip of this car crash video. 2 Share this post Link to post
