Surprised Paramount are releasing this. I actually thought it might have gotten a Criterion release.

[Member-222782]

I'll be picking this up. The film has a bit of nostalgia value for me but I also like the film.

[4Dblu]

Wow, i hav this on DVD. Never even thought in a Million years it will hit Blu

[MifuneFan]

Oh wow, a Presents titles too .Great cover.

[zackisthewalrus]

So glad this is finally coming. Cover looks great! Hoping there's some good bonus content included!

[ParamountChris]

Here’s one Miramax title I thought would still be with Lionsgate.

[Egbert Souse]

Awesome of Paramount to find this worthy of the Presents line. Great film and worth a blind-buy. Do temper expectations on the technical end as it's a low budget 16mm production, though I'd expect a fresh restoration from the original elements will look spectacular.

[ShellOilJunior]

Saw this one way back in a college film class. It's worth a look.

[saprano]

I didn't expect this kind of movie from Paramount to get a bluray.

Hip-Hop 50th anniversary is i think next year. So maybe that's why.

[annubis44]

Never heard of it. Definitely going to check it out.

[meremortal]

Love the cover. Reminds of the cover from TLC's debut album.

[Adam4Rizzel]

The first and only (thus far) Miramax film to be released on the Paramount Presents label.

The low activity on this forum makes me think this sold poorly lol. Transfer is great. Surprised they didn’t do a 5.1 track and stuck with 2.0 but it’s an effective track.

Some retailers are having stock issues. I had to cancel an order Amazon couldn't fulfill and re-order from Orbit DVD. This one's just a nostalgia purchase for me, really. It was one of the first VHS tapes I purchased after getting my first job post HS graduation. The film was also shot in and around my old Brooklyn neighborhoods. That Dean Street subway station has since been demolished, sadly.

If you're in the NYC area, this will be screening at The Film Forum on June 6th, with director Leslie Harris there to do a Q&A after the film

Is the Blu-ray region free?

[Kedrix]

If anyone is still looking for this, Barnes & Noble has this down to $9.99 (Paramount 50% sale).

Just watched this a few weeks ago. It's a great (and vastly underseen) 90's indie.

Especially at the above noted price, buy with confidence.
