I have seen this movie as teen when it first came on Prism and HBO, and it hit home with the setting for the movie. Not all places portrayed in movies are happy go lucky and this once showed life as it was for a lot of us growing up.

We all had that one girl we always wanted, we that did not fit the bill for society was the out cast and the rebel, had a broken home, etc. And this what makes the movie shine, hit home and show the TRUE meaning of growing up in a poor town.

It had a great soundtrack, that for me at the time was more into the hard rock/metal genre, that I still catch myself singing along when it comes on radio, which should say a lot for a music selection in a movie.

Also I get weird looks when I bring up this movie to friends whom never even heard of it or stores when asking if they have it or can get it. HMMMM pretty good lasting Impression for a movie that is now lost in time but not forgotten.

I would love it if this movie could be released on blue ray so all can enjoy a forgotten gem and for us that grew up to it to re-live our youth once again.

Darryl Hannah, Quinn, and Baldwin deserve the recognition and credit for this movie that helped launch their careers, please bring it back to the masses so at the end we can ride off on the bike again with the girl of our dreams.
