Also included in this collection is the crime cult favorite : King Of New York ( 1990 Director Abel Ferrara , staring Christopher Walken, David Caruso, Laurence Fishburne, Victor Argo, Wesley Snipes ) Special 2 DVD Collectors Edition. When drug lord Frank White is released from prison, he sets out to destroy opposing gangs. When some renegade cops try to stop him, he puts out a contract on them too. This low-budget crime thriller has the feel of a major blockbuster and owes its roots to the hard-edged crime movies of the 1930s. Christopher Walken stars as a drug kingpin who is released from prison and vows to use his position and influence--and criminal enterprise--for charitable means. But a core group of New York cops are all over him and his gang, determined to go to war, whatever the cost, to bring him down. Eventually his empire--headquartered at, of all places, Donald Trump's Plaza Hotel--crumbles under the weight of double-crossing and a body count of open warfare with the cops. This is one of the most stylish films of the last decade, with a strong supporting cast (including Lawrence Fishburne, Wesley Snipes, and David Caruso) and some truly enthralling set pieces, including a stunning car chase and gunfight across a rain-soaked Queensboro Bridge. The film's tongue-in-cheek, over-the-top style offsets its nihilism; and its riveting visuals will have audiences hooked from beginning to end. This new 2-disc Special Edition release features remastered anamorphic video, Dolby Digital audio as well as a set of comprehensive extras. The widescreen (anamorphically enhanced) version is shown in its theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, can be found on Disc 1 while the fullscreen pan and scan version is located on Disc 2. Overall, the remastering of the video has produced a beautiful transfer that is free from smudges and dirt. On both the widescreen and full screen versions, two audio options, Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Surround 2.0 are available. The special features are spread out over both discs.
On Disc 1, there are two audio commentaries--one by director Abel Ferrara and the other by producers Mary Kane and Randy Sabusawa, editor Anthony Redman and music composer Joe Delia. Next is a 47-minute documentary about Abel Ferrara, cheekily titled "The Long Career of Abel Ferrara". Presented in anamorphic video, this documentary features interviews with many of the people who have worked closely with Ferrara over the years. In it, many of them amusingly reminisce about the good old days when a Ferrara movie´s budget was very tight and they only got paid a few hundred dollars each for their work.The last special feature on Disc 1 is the film´s theatrical trailer.Disc 2 is allocated to exploring the influence of Philadelphia gangsta rap artist Schoolly D. First is an untitled Schoolly D rap music video that also features Larry Fishburne. Next is a 42-minute featurette titled "The Adventures of Schoolly D: Snowboarder". This is an anamorphic presentation that talks about the origins of hip-hop and gangsta rap and how Schoolly D´s music was used by Ferrara as a big influence behind this film. It also features a very long interview session with Schoolly D. Last but not least are three TV Spots used to promote the movie.
