This reminds me a bit of Edward Scissorhands, where set-wise, you can't tell what decade it is in. We have a 1950s neighborhood, but with 1980s clubs & music. It's a mishmash of both classic & modern. Maybe the setting was changed or overlooed halfway through the movie. Kind of appealing by itself.

it was basically set like all of walter hill's movies. in an alternate present day (1984) for this film. and world war two never happened in the 40's because of the amount of muscle cars(no metal rationing/shortage) still around but it likely just ended or is still going on due to the fact mc coy says she was a soldier. they never had a 60's or 70's so the fashion and all that just stayed around because there was nothing to cause change.

50s seen through the eyes of the early 80s, at that time there was a great revival or 50s music,early rock'n'roll, rockabilly and blues that weren't in auge in the 70s.
Willen Defoe's haircut is definitely Stray Cats.
