Should of been a little more violent. At least see some deaths, or shootings/beatings. The tone of the movie felt a lot more light hearted than it should of
shareThis is one of the bases for my hypothesis (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088194/board/nest/125594574) that this is set in the afterlife.

Walter Hill films are frequently more violent, but the film is shot with a deliberately 50's retro - feel to proceedings. I think he tried to create an 80's action film with reference to the 50's where little blood was generally shown in movies.🐭
shareWalter Hill always insisted there would be no blood, death and graphic violence in Streets of Fire. He wanted it to be a dark fairy tale in comic-book format, to create this "Another time, another place" feel.
Similar to Coppola's Rumble Fish, which also doesn't focus on any specific place, specific time setting and graphic violence. Both films have a mixture of elements from the 1930s, the 1950s and the 1980s, which lends this weird sense of timelessness.
