• Limited edition, site exclusive slipbox with new design, inspired by punk 7” picture sleeves, by Scott Saslow
  
• Double-sided wrap with legacy and newly-designed artwork by Scott Saslow and Marc Edward Heuck
  
• 64-page perfect bound book with new essays by Margaret Barton-Fumo and Night Flight’s Stuart Shapiro, archival article from Grand Royal Magazine and a replica of the original, studio-issued “handbook of production information” (limited edition deluxe set only)
  
• Double-sided fold-out poster featuring legacy one-sheet key art and newly-designed artwork by Scott Saslow (limited edition deluxe set only)
  
• Sticker sheet with three custom “kiss cut” stickers designed by Scott Saslow (limited to the first run of the deluxe set)
  
• Archival audio commentary by director Lou Adler
  
• Archival audio commentary by stars Diane Lane and Laura Dern
  
• Newly recorded audio commentary by Marc Edward Heuck
  
• Newly recorded audio commentary by Jake Fogelnest and Marc Edward Heuck
  
• Image gallery
  
• “The Fabulous Stains: Behind the Movie,” archival making-of video featurette by Sarah Jacobson and Sam Green
  
• Alternate opening title sequence from 35mm workprint
  
• Deleted scenes from 35mm workprint (presented silent and with commentary from Marc Edward Heuck and Jonathan Hertzberg)
  
• Dailies from 35mm workprint

I have the DVD and the Imprint Blu, but daaaaaaaaayum! What an amazing package.

Hoping the Heuck/Fogelnest participation means there’s some movement on trying to unearth Young Lust - A Soap Opera (1984). I know FCE asked Paramount about that one, but the rights are now solely with the Robert Stigwood Organisiation. Fingers crossed, anyway!

Very happy with the artwork and list of extras for The Fabulous Stains. Worth the wait.

Also is this Fun City’s first 4k release. Hell yeah!

I pre-ordered Stains the day it went live too.

It's a fantastic film!

I have the Imprint release as well... but this film will look amazing in 4K.


Hopefully we get a street date soon.

These small labels with no street date... it could be this time next year for all we know

Hopefully not... hopefully Q1 2026 at the latest.


Now we just need a label to do Times Square in 4K UHD.

The Kino 1080p release on Blu was great... but a 4K would be divine!

I just watched Morrissey's Mixed Blood last night from Cinématographe... what a great film!

Really great mid 80s NYC slum atmosphere...

Gritty... dark...

But with Morrissey's usual over-the-top dialogue...

The film never gets slow or dull...

Spike of Bensonhurst should be a great companion release!

I am aware it is a blu-ray forum, but does anyone know if FCE DVDs carry any extras?
I'm specially interested in "Deep in the Heart", "T. R. Baskin", "Radio On" and "Stranger's Kiss".

Thanks in advance.

I didn't realize Fun City pressed DVDs. Thought they started out doing Blu-rays and recently added 4K to their releases.

They're talking about DVDs. Those special features are exclusive to the BD release.

Thank you for the answer.

This behaviour by FCE doesn't make sense. I wonder why they did not offer on DVD at least some of the extras available on BD.

I can't see any DVDs on the Fun City site. Which titles are available on the format?

They're only available via MVD and retailers MVD distributes to. Radio On, T.R. Baskin, Heavenly Bodies, Paradise, Handgun, Strangers Kiss, and The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz.

Thanks for the info!
