Nice.

I like the quote on the front (Beyond High Definition)

Interesting, almost one year after it showed up for pre-order in Walmart's website for a while. Like a wine, it was being aged

Looking foward to this! One of my favorite crime dramas!

Lionsgate Home Entertainment will bring the acclaimed indie crime drama 'King of New York' to Blu-ray this October.

Starring Christopher Walken and Laurence Fishburne, 1990's 'King of New York' has long been a cult favorite, and been described by many as "the greatest Scorsese crime drama Scorsese never made" (it was, in fact, directed by fellow New York auteur Abel Ferrera).

Lionsgate will debut the film on Blu-ray October 23, in a newly-remastered 1080p video with DTS and Dolby Digital tracks (exact tech specs still TBA).

What supplements, if any, to be included on the release also remain unannounced. We'll keep you posted.

List price will go for a suggested $29.95.

In anticipation of final specs for 'Kings of New York,' we've added a new listing for the title to our Blu-ray Release Schedule, under October 23. Watch this space..

Sorry about that, I looked and didn't see anything about King of NY in the forum, guess I missed it

Deciazulado · 07-31-2007, 06:59 PM

It was on the second page; on a quick day like this, news threads can be pushed into the back pages rather quickly. And with three hundred hddvd attacks trying to subjugate 300 blus sales...

It's King of NY, I couldn't contain my excitement

I have the King of New York on dvd, and I am wondering if anyone has compared the dvd to the blu-ray and is it a considerable upgrade from the dvd?

travisbickle · 11-17-2013, 07:00 AM

Anyone know if the Arrow transfer is the same one used for the Lionsgate?

I was looking at some comparsion pics from Capsaholic and they both look pretty similar. The Arrow was a bit brighter...

philip74 · 01-01-2015, 02:09 AM

Can`t believe a crime movie like this slipped my radar until now!!

Just blind bought it right now, hope its as good as the trailer looked!

No. In the Arrow review Svet refers to PQ improvements in some scenes:

Quote:

the nighttime sequences never look blocky (on previous DVD releases of the film, as well as on the Lionsgate Films Blu-ray release, the nighttime sequences are indeed problematic).

^^Great! Looks like the Arrow edition is the way to go.

It also features Not Guilty, which is an entertaining documentary.

I don't like the artwork though. Makes it look too cartoony.

You're in for a treat, this movie is insanely great and has so many huge names before they were huge names in it. I put it right up with Scarface, Goodfellas and Godfather, seriously. If you're a fan of rap music, you'll probably notice lots of stuff many rappers have referenced are from this film, like how Biggie called himself Frank White. Enjoy, I wish I could have a first watch of this one again.

Never knew Obama had a part in this movie. Weird...

Ancient review I know, but it's hilarious to me that the reviewer is just like "it has extras, the usual crap, I dunno."
