Michael was perfect as Eddie, one of the best movies ever made

Not only was his lip syncing borderline perfection it was an astonishing voice match. Voice matched Eddie’s slow draw speech and mannerisms and attitude. Movie was criminally underrated and undervalued.

Eddie and the cruisers 2 is a great movie too. The soundtrack is one of my favs of all time. It’s great writing and music.

Love you guys , you made it real ! 👍

I had a mate who died of a heart attack at age 53. His brother and I used to drive around town in his car at night. Just like the ghost of Eddie in the second movie.

Eddie and the Cruisers were great movies. Still like them both to this day.

Mike did the best lip sync job, the most consistent lip sync work, the most spot-on NAILING of Cafferty's vocals that you could ever have asked for.

One of the best two-part movies ever made. I have the DVD with part one and part two and I watch it at least once or twice a month. The soundtrack is incredible, the acting is incredible, and Michael does such an excellent job. It’s an old cliché but it’s worth saying again. They just don’t make movies like that anymore! EDDIE LIVES!!!

Michael Pare is such a nice guy, they both are nice guys. Eddie and the Cruisers (both) still is a favorite of mine.. Great interview. Thanks for the upload.

its nice to see 30 year later, that they are still friends.

Eddie and the Cruisers was before it's time! I remember sitting and watching this with my parents and they absolutely loved it!

Eddie and the Cruisers Movies rock !! The best movies, we watch them over and over.... WORDS AND MUSIC !!!!!!!! So awesome.......

I give you the most underrated actor...Michael Pare. He seems like a really cool dude.

michael pare has aged well, he is a kick ass actor, who never got the respect he deserves

I Absolutely Love Eddie And The Cruisers Movie & The Soundtrack

Michael Pare was 56 during this event. He looks fantastic & I agree he should have been a big star. They both seem so cool.

Michael Pare shoulda been a friggin superstar.

I have seen these movies more than once, will keep on watching them - darn, I need some Eddie and the cruisers!

The music got me through some lonely times back in the Marine Corps, thanks Eddie.

These guys are very funny together. Would love to see them together again in a comedy or sitcom. I think they'd be great.

Eddie and the Cruisers 2 is best music film ever made.

Here in 2020, still in love with Eddy Wilson.

Great movie, I've watched it multiple times. It doesn't get old.

Love this! Thank you! Pare was great in The Philadelphia Experiment and Streets of Fire. I was at Tony Marts as a teen in NJ

One of my favorite movies awesome,and loved the soundtrack............ I remember jamming to it then and still to this day.

8 Dislikes?... Well everybody can't be slow... What a privilege to be able to see and listen to these legends. Thank you for this upload. What a blessing.

I agree with you. Michael was my 1st love as a girl.. I would layout of school when it was coming on HBO just to watch it. I'm so happy that technology has allowed all the awesome old movies right at my finger tips.. Love y'all

Eddie & The Cruiser's was great, that movie was back in the classic HBO days during my childhood & yes they actually did capture some emotions with the types going's on's that do or can occur within band's , it's a certified classic as far as I'm concerned.

My husband is a fantastic musician, vocalist, lyricist, and plays multi instruments, he loves this movie not only did this movie tap into the general audiences but also played to a musician's heart.

Was passing through the area and went to the Chiller Convention and met Michael Pare....very nice guy. As much as I love Eddie and the Cruisers I always remember him from Streets of Fire.

Eddie and Sal....these guys are great

Love all 3 movies. Just wanted to add that Diane Lane wanted to do the real singing in Streets Of Fire.

I saw Eddie and the Cruisers on an old VHS tape my dad had when I was a kid! Then saw the second movie on HBO back in the day! Great movies, Great music! We need a third movie! 👊🏻🔥👊🏻🔥👊🏻

It just hit 2022, and i wish they would get together for a tv show of some kind. Bet it would be a hit.

Mike definitely should have became a bigger star

Love the movie's i own them and don't get tired of watching them!

The two movies will live forever as will the music of John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band.

Funny interview. This was one of my Dad's favorites so I know the movie from VHS off bootleg, so I've always loved the movie and the soundtrack. Great behind the scenes.

2 thumbs up for this one, thanks a million for posting.

It would have been great to have had Eddie and the Cruisers 3 and 4 back then. I really enjoyed 1 and 2. It was a great shame it didn't happen. Great stories and music!

AWESOME interview!!! SO great!!! A Michael Paré fan says THANK YOU

Man Michael Pare still look relatively young for his age.

I met matthew laurance 15 years ago, great guy..

I just got done watching both of these movies and they were awesome!! It's nice to see that these two are still around well at least in 2014 haha

Great movies, Great music

Friggin awesome! Love these guys, absolutely love this movie!

Two of the best movies ever.

It's Eddie and Sal. Good to see them all these years later.

Too bad Pare didn't become a bigger success he deserved it.

I had no idea that Michael pare lip synced the movie, I love music and it sounded real to me! Excellent job guys!

Absolutely love this movie it's my all-time favorite I'm watching it right now 💖

I saw it at the theater .. we were not sure, even after, if it was true or based on a true story. Amazing.

I'm singing in some beach clubs in Panama City Beach, Fl. I doing about 6 or so songs by the Cruisers and people would come up to me during breaks and say "We come all the way down here from Jersey and hear you guys do Eddie and the Cruisers and you really Cover those songs great...we can't believe it...we LOVE that movie!!"

Just watched it, again, here in Dec 2019. Great movie, great singing and great acting !!

ANYWAY..... thank you very much for this....very insightful into the movie AND these two actors.

great film with awesome music and Michael still looks great

This was the first time I'd seen Matthew Laurance in anything outside the "Eddie" films, to the point I didn't recognize him at first. I'm glad he and Michael still get along so many years later; long live the Cruisers! =)

When this movie came out I thought this was real band called Eddie and the cruisers .. the music was so good and I didn’t see as much as movie but a true story of a Rock legend !ty

I love the movie Eddy and the cruisers,

I wish I had known about this at the time. Would have LOVED to have gotten their autographs.

loved the movie, still.

Great movie I've seen it like 30 times lol

I lived a few miles away from Tony Marts, lots of locals were extras, the bar looked pretty much like u saw in movie. The town was jumping back in 82/83! 😊

Another favorite movie he plays in..BAD MOON

THAT WAS GREAT I REMEMBER SEEING THEM BOTH THAT DAY..

Michael Paré seems like he is still a great actor to this day. I've seen him in some other low budget stuff, but I got linked here from the Eddie movie. I hope he tries to get out there more for acting gigs on TV even. He should be able to pick his own show for the amount of character he has. True story.

Awesome Movies...Awesome Actors Amazing People inspiring and the fantastic music still sounds great today...great scripting and made legendary films loved by millions I believe it. I truly believe there could be great success if a part three film...the American Tour for Eddie and The Band...could it be made possible... it would be so cool if it could be so

Luv Eddie & The Cruisers. Luv Michael Pare' too! ❤

Michael Pare did one of the best vocals lip syncing jobs for BOTH movies that ive ever seen! And im a musician!

Both of these guys look great.

Sal and Eddie Live !

no one else could've of played eddie Wilson,no one,his hire was genius,john cafferty was the musical genius behind this little musical

You just dont know how many times I had to watch this movie because I couldnt see it was eddie in the reflection at the in of the movie lol I ❤ed this movie a true claasic

I really enjoyed this. 😁

have both movies and cds love it

I'm glad I'm the first comment. both movies are bad ass. from start to finish. soundtracks etc etc.

I watch bth Moves Every time they come on ! ! ! . . & I have both of them on Vhs & DVD ! ! ! . . .

I'm so glad they asked about the scene that was redone with Sal in the second movie. I like to think that Eddie had the same conversation with Sal and The Word Man at different times in their past. It would have been better if it wasn't basically the same scene. It stuck out like a sore thumb, any true fan couldn't miss it.

I believe Michael is the greatest living actor ever, people they are calling stars today can't lipsync Michael s voice & Johns blended perfect

it came out when i was like 12, i had NO IDEA it wasnt really Michael singing till one day i was watching MTV and the "On The Dark Side" video came on and i was like who the hell is this guy singing!? it was good lip synching but also Ceffertys singing voice and Michaels talking voice just really believably sounds like the same person.

It's Eddie and Sal back together again

the scene on the beach with eddie and the word man, when he tells him how he wants there music something you can wrap yourself in, or the second movie where he schools rick on how it should sound, some of the best rock and roll advise ever heard, and i believe that axl rose of guns just pulled that off ?

Rock n Roll never forgets!

One of my favorite all ti.e movies...Eddie And The Cruisers.. I really thought Eddie died..broke my heart.... my movie

Saw it with Risky Business as a double feature.

2nd movie was fun and good but the 1st would have been fine without the sequel! The scene at the end of the 1st is Amazing with Eddie looking in the window. I felt that Eddie's story was a combo of Bruce & E St, and Jim Morrison. Epic Movie!! Eddie Lives, the music will last forever. Thank you John Cafferty & Beaver Brown Band!!

i originally thought Pare was the real singer until they came out with the Cafferty video version of the movie.

Eddie & The Cruisets 3👍 We need more movie's with good rock. Story,....Female lead group struggling, she gets scared, runs away. Driving, she stops at an old record shop. Thumbs through some old cassettes, cause that's what her old car has. And finds an old EDDIE cassette, faded and cracked. Now, driving down the road, she listens to tender years...tear running down her cheek, she drives off into sunset, tender years fades out. Flash forward 2 years, she is back of a diner on break, guitar by her side, and a notebook writing music...a dj on a radio in the background is talking about EDDIE and how his music was from the heart, then plays On the dark side. Her boss hollers time to get back to work hun....she pauses.....stands up, drops her apron, and replies....yeah, it is. So begins her visit to find & see eddie, and find her music. Basically, kinda like EDDIE 2. I think with the movie A star Is Born, with Lady Gaga coming. It would be a good time for this movie. Also, why not get Lady Gaga to write the music. Still love E&TC.

Sal and Eddie reunited !!! 😎

i still have the cd's and dvd's too

Wish I know what happened to Eddie Wilson we love you ed

He was and is a superstar! Luv u !! Always. So handsome. Wish he was my man!!!!

great movie

like everybody says there should be a third movie. you can't leave people hanging when he tells the crowd who he really is in the second movie. there are a lot of questions too be answered. love these movies.

I was soooo happy when I saw Michael in the Lincoln lawyer

I'm an immediate and life time fan.

We love Eddie!!!! ""

I was around 7 or 8 when eddie and the cruisers came out and I wax in love with Michael Pare and wax heartbroken when my older sisters told me he was not the real singer...

Eddie Lives

Wow thankyou for putting this up, I have been looking for an interview with Michael Pare and this has given me much insight to the movie and he is still HOT he has aged very well, is he married lol
