Awesome

[Yearbook]

I'm from a small town called, "Fresh Off a Cop's Ass!"

[MattBowers2020]

Wow. I would've never guessed this would end up on Criterion. Bring it on though, I love this movie!

[MifuneFan]

When I was a kid, and went to this summer camp run by my local catholic church in Brooklyn, they actually had Kid (Christopher Reid) show up as a special celebrity guest. I think there were other people there too, but that's the only one I remember. This was around the height of Kid 'n Play's fame, so it was pretty cool.

[PacMan3000]

This is going to look great in 4k--so colorful!

[SleazyForWeasley]

4K Kings have been manifesting this for a looooong time. Finally!

[smoothbutter]

Good stuff, but I hope it comes normalized one day that they release the entire series of movies instead of just announcing the first one with you having 0 clue if the others will come in the future

[whiteberry]

Bowlegged Lou is joining the Criterion Collection? What a time to be alive!

Glad to have actually witnessed this period of time regarding hiphop and R&B. Still play that Full Force-song once in a while.

Yeah, I don’t think we’ll be seeing Jamal Johnson in the Criterion collection

Criterion against the impending snobs:

[Rayjg]

Wow, now C.H.U.D. truly is a possibility

[jt839]

Friday 4k next please.

[filmbuffTX]

I always knew of these movies growing up, but never got around to seeing one. Was a fan of Martin and Tisha Campbell too. The release coincides with the B&N sale. I think I'll pick it up then. Would be nice if they included 2&3 even if just as bonus features in HD only.

[Watershipdownisgood]

Wow Christopher Martin in the Criterion Collection yes please can we get Class Act next from WAC please it needs to happen.

These are the extras that I would like to see:
