Spike of Bensonhurst 07/26 Blu-ray (Rental)

The Blu-ray disc contains the film plus special features: an archival interview with director Paul Morrissey, new interviews with cinematographer Steven Fierberg, casting director Leonard Finger and executive producer Sam Grogg, the theatrical trailers for Spike of Bensonhurst, Mixed Blood and Trash, and an image gallery. Spike Fumo dreams of boxing glory and is determined not to end up like his father, who is serving time in Sing Sing for local mob boss Baldo Cacetti. But when the tough, handsome and none-too-bright Spike takes up with Cacetti's daughter Angel, the enraged mobster banishes him from Italian Bensonhurst to Puerto Rican Red Hook, and Spike has to figure out how to rebound after being bounced from the only turf he has ever known. Paul Morrissey's satiric comedy sends up Brooklyn mafia community relations in the '80s.
