A Limited Edition Art Print (with art by Kevin Tong; unnumbered; artist's proof; measures 12" x 25" [30 x 64 cm]) (Learn More) Streets of Fire, the 1984 Walter Hill rock 'n' roll (rock and roll) music romantic action thriller melodrama ("Tonight is what it means to be young."; "A rock & roll fable."; "A Rock Fantasy"; "'Custom cars, Kissing in the rain. Neon, Trains in the night. High-speed pursuit, Rumbles Rock stars, Motorcycles, Jokes in tough situations. Leather jackets and questions of honour.'"; "Written by Walter Hill & Larry Gross") starring Michael Pare, Diane Lane, Rick Moranis, Amy Madigan, Bill Paxton, Lee Ving, Marine Jahan (she played a super sexy dancer-stripper, much like what she had done in 1983 for Jennifer Beals in Flashdance, where she went uncredited; she only appeared in one other movie), and Willem Dafoe (in his fifth credited movie role!). Note that the screenplay for this movie refers to it being called "The Adventures of Tom Cody Book One: Streets of Fire", indicating it was to be the first of a series of movies, but apparently, because this movie did not do so well at the box office, there were no sequels! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Kevin Tong Important Added Info: Note that this print is an "artist's proof" that was printed in a much lesser amount for the artist by the printer (note that "AP" written on the print). Since AP's are "closer to the artist's hand" they tend to be much more valuable than the prints of a signed and numbered limited edition! This is one of 2,346 auctions for Mondo/Alamo Drafthouse prints from the personal collection of Tim League, co-founder and Executive Chairman of Alamo Drafthouse! All 2,346 auctions begin on November 29th, and all close December 13th, starting at around 3:00 PM CST, a few seconds apart! All the prints are being auctioned by eMoviePoster.com, and will ship to the winning bidders from eMoviePoster.com, who WILL combine purchases into as few packages as possible (and they can also be combined with purchases from "non-Mondo" eMoviePoster.com auctions, only charging the actual cost of shipping, plus $3 for packing materials). Please know that 100% of the proceeds from the sale will go towards paying staff of the Alamo Drafthouse and paying debt and expenses accrued during the COVID closures. And eMoviePoster.com has slashed its commission rates, so that we too can do all we can to support this most worthwhile cause. Whether you are a prior collector of Mondo prints or if you have never purchased one of them before, you surely have a movie fan in your life who would like something unique under their Christmas tree this year (or maybe you want to give it to yourself!). Our deepest thanks to everyone who participates in this very special set of 2,346 auctions! Condition: fine. The limited edition art print is in wonderful condition! An important note about the condition of the print in this auction (or, in the case of 25 of the auctions, prints). It comes from the personal collection of Tim League, and it has been carefully stored since it was first printed. In the case of all but 46 of the 2,344 of the prints, it is in wonderful condition, and likely looks exactly as it did when it was printed, and we give all those our "fine" grade, which is the highest grade we give (and which equates to most dealers' "mint" grade). In the case of a very small number of the prints (46 in all!), it acquired one or more defects, and in those cases we give it a lower grade, and explain in words what those defects are. If you like purchasing limited edition prints in wonderful condition, THIS is the auction for you! Learn More about condition grades
