Video Game Roles:
- The Warriors: Mercy
Yeah, that's right, Tropers. Just keep readin'. Real tough muthas, ain't ya?:
- Ability over Appearance: When looking for an actress to play Mercy in The Warriors, Walter Hill initially wanted a Puerto Rican actress for the role. Deborah Van Valkenburgh's agent convinced the film's casting directors to see her and she was eventually cast.
- Playing Against Type: Deborah's role as Reva in Streets of Fire and Road to Hell is more of a cool big sister than a nosy girl like Mercy in The Warriors.
- Role Reprise:
- Deborah Van Valkenburgh returned to voice Mercy in the game The Warriors.
- Deborah also reprised her role as Reva in the fan-made film Road to Hell years after Streets of Fire.
