I remember the first one being good but I haven't seen it since the 1980s. However, I too object to being forced to buy 4K. I've only done it once for Martin but that's a much much better film than Alligator. I think I'll be giving this a miss unless there's a standalone BR down the line.

I'll have to have a rewatch of the dvds. I've seen the original a few times and always liked it. The sequel was a bit naff and I've only seen it the once but not for many years. Sent from my SM-G780G using Tapatalk |

Released 4th March 2024 Fear City ![]() Taking place in Ferrara’s trademark nightmarish vision of New York City, Fear City delves into the seedy underbelly of the city in the 80s. Filmed on location in the sleazy dive bars and back alleys of Times Square, this thrilling, erotic neo-noir is a tale of a brutal killer targeting the city’s strippers and the former boxer and cop out to catch them. There's a psychopath on the loose in Manhattan who is stalking and mutilating beautiful strippers employed by booking agents Matt Rossi (Tom Berenger) and Nicky Parzeno (Jack Scalia). But when the madman targets Matt’s ex-girlfriend, Loretta (Melanie Griffith), he must confront his own violent past to stop the sadist. After the success of The Driller Killer (1979) and Ms. 45 (1981) Ferrara returned to his native New York to direct Fear City. The film was originally produced by 20th Century Fox, which allowed for a cast of 80s stars including Tom Berenger (Platoon), Melanie Griffith (Body Double) and Billy Dee Williams (Empire Strikes Back) to be assembled. They soon decided there was too much nudity, sex, violence and hard drug use for their liking and moved the film on to the independent Aquarius Releasing. After heavy cuts by the MPAA Fear City finally received its premiere in 1984. Title 034 on the 101 Films Black Label, this limited-edition release includes both the theatrical and uncut versions of Fear City and a commentary with film critic Kevin Lyons. Enclosed in a limited-edition slipcase with brand new artwork, this title also features a limited-edition booklet with new writing on the film: ‘Seeing Red: A Neo-Noir Guide’ by Rich Johnson and ‘Returning to Fear City’ by Brad Stevens. SPECIAL FEATURES Uncut version of Fear City with SD inserts (97 Minutes) Commentary with film critic Kevin Lyons Extended trailer Limited edition booklet: Includes ‘Seeing Red: A Neo-Noir Guide’ by Rich Johnson and ‘Returning to Fear City’ by Brad Stevens |

I feel sorry for the poor scalpers on eBay who were charging silly prices for the old OOP Shout Factory BD.

Ah that explains why my old dvd copy went for silly money couple of years ago. Does everyone involved not like this film? Seems no one wants to appear in special features for it. |

As I'm partial to a bit of neo-noir, this sounds like a good one for me.
