This is such a powerful moment in the story, and Michael really sells it. Eddie telling Diane the truth could have come off as very insulting or selfish, but he brought a vulnerability to it that shines through.

Some say that when he was wording the songs that he was off a little bit with the actual music. Give him the actual credit that he deserves he's a great actor not a musician and he did a DAMN good job. And she's 🤩💗😍💓

He didn't tell anyone who he was but he certainly told his girlfriend. Of course later Eddie came clean at a music festival by telling everyone. It would've been something if we actually found out the truth about Jim Morrison. But you can't compare the two.

Which one is your all time favorite? Mine is when the world was young! In high school it use to be On the Dark Side not any more! The other song took its place not sure how long ago i started to listen to When the World was Young mabey 2018 it was one of those songs the remain hidden from my list of songs i didnt listen to that much in High School!

Tyler Beamer

I used to say 2 was better but now I lean to both being equally good. They are really two different movies when you look into it. First one was a time period/mystery hybrid movie with solid characterization put into all of the characters. 2 is a solid road trip/character journey music movie. It has more to do with the music than the OG one does which is crazy to consider. They both work well for what they were.

Roland of Gilead 43

2y↑1

really? i grew up on the 1st one in the 80's and 90's and i think the first one is a better film that said the soundtrack is better and while that's among my favorite movies and soundtracks of all time, i enjoy this one too some of the music is good but it's not as good. Michael Pare really needed to shave his porn stache though before filming

Spinal Tap might argue the point.

Frederick Greaves

About a fake band? What about Jim Morrison and the Doors? 🤔

Frederick Greaves

2y↑1

@Shadow Ban ???? I was saying it was about Jim Morrison and the possibility of him faking his death....remember the rumors? Yes Beaver Brown was excellent in my opinion. Yet anyone who listened to the doors, could easily see the parallels between the Cruisers and them. Not only Eddie's passion for music (Morrisons was legendary for his and his poems BTW), yet the hypnotic beat of the music as well. Loved the Monkeys also BTW! :)

Frederick Greaves

@Shadow Ban I didn't say that I agreed with the people suggesting that Jim Morrison was alive. I was only stating that the movie Eddie and the the Cruisers was POSSIBLY based on that theory! The original post said it was based on a fake band. I was just basically saying "well, maybe not"! :)

Joseph Quam

@Frederick Greaves Eddie and the Cruisers wasn't about Morrison. It was a veiled biopic about Springsteen. PF Kluge wrote the novel with Springsteen in mind. The director, Martin Davidson who optioned to book from Kluge, wanted to the music to sound like the sounds of the Jersey Shore mixed with the Doors. Kluge had Springsteen in mind when he wrote the novel.

If Eddie Wilson's ex-girlfriend had heard that Eddie is alive and if she heard that he has Diane as his new girlfriend, and if she heard that Eddie asked Diane to marry him and she said yes, would Eddie's ex-girlfriend be so insanely angry and jealous or not?

Michelle Naylor

No. Joanne ended up with Frank at the end of the 1st movie.

That's a lot of "ifs." Sounds like you want to be a script writer, as sadly you don't know why you failed at doing so. Just sayin...

It’s been decades since I saw it, but IIRC, it was very crappy, nowhere near as good as the first movie.

Ezra Burgess

Your guess would be wrong. The 2nd movie was indeed better than the first in both the acting and the music.

Jeremiah S

2y↑1

yea no... the second movie was far superior to the first

flyboy152

Like I said, it's been decades since I've seen either movie. What I remember is that the first movie was much better.

As far as the audience scores, they're virtually the same. But while the first movie has a critics' score in the mid 30% Fresh category, the 2nd movie only got 3 reviews, all negative.

malcolmr3

While part 2 was a decent movie, Pare, carried it. The first one was a classic and IMO tanks in the top 3 of R&R movies ever made.

Daylan Jones

Best got kicked out for being the most popular member of the band at the time. He got all the girls, and all the girls attention, the others were jealous. The others lied about the real reason then, and continue to lie about it to this day. Nothing to do about he wasn't a good drummer, and Ringo was better. It must have been shattering for Best to miss out on his due fame and fortune. Imagine where Ringo would have ended up, if Best hadn't been pulling all the tail.

Great pair of movies me and my wife loved. I dont get what happened to Michael Pare's moviestar status. I mean the man was handsome , was getting some damn good roles. I mean he made movies we loved. Then he kinda disappeared for a bit . He still seems to be making tons of movies even now....but I am sry to say I wouldn't call them A status movies. No offense. better than anything I could make. But I thought he was on his way to being a superstar in the 80s.
