Valley Girl 1983

#1 by Greg Perry , Sat Jun 03, 2023 10:40 pm

Here are some pics from one of the prints I have of the 1983 film "Valley Girl" with a young Nicholas Cage and a cute Deborah Foreman. The story is loosely based on Romeo and Juliet, where Julie, a Valley Girl, meets a Hollywood punk rocker, Randy, played by Nicholas Cage. It is ka story of love from the wrongside of the tracks, but does capture the spirit and pop music of the 1980's that I grew up in.

I understand that music rights to several songs originally in the film had not been properly agreed upon. So there are some early prints that have these "unauthorized" tracks before a new and authorized soundtrack was made. The Clash song, "Rock the Casbah" and Culture Club's "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" are two songs that were subsequently removed.

Anyway, a fun movie from a simpler time...

A very nice print Greg, has yours got the two songs in that were later removed?

Hi Tom,
Yes, one of the two prints I have is the original. It does have some wear unfortunately. The second print I got is in excellent condition but does not have the original songs. I have been looking for this title for many years. There was one available a few years back but the price then far exceeded my budget. I guess patience pays off sometimes!

Lovely looking print Greg, the LPP prints of the 80s do have a certain look to them and are some of the nicest prints available, nice find, Mark
