Spike of Bensonhurst  — 4K UHD 09/05/26

Paul Morrissey wrote and directed this sprawling, comic/serious neighborhood saga that scrambles ethnic identities, lopsided honor codes and the twisted ‘normality’ of mob rule in the borough of Brooklyn. Do we like our hero Spike?  He’s an arrogant, entitled Italian-American, macho to the core. He impregnates both of his girlfriends, Maria Pitillo and Talisa Soto. The only objection comes from Pitillo’s father, local mob boss Ernest Borgnine (the best thing in the movie). Spike’s a legend in his own mind, but does he have a future in the Mafia?  On 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray from Fun City Editions.
