  HERE'S A LITTLE STORY THAT MUST BE TOLD...In early 1980s New York City, independent filmmaker Charlie Ahearn and downtown artist Fred Brathwaite ventured uptown with the aim of capturing an exciting new underground scene that was happening in the South Bronx, a scene that featured graffiti artists, breakdancing b-boys and two turntables and a microphone. The result was Wild Style, and to many viewers it was their first glimpse of the musical and cultural phenomenon called hip-hop.In this unique hybrid of fiction and documentary, the story of lone graffiti artist Lee Zoro Quiñones trying to achieve success on his own terms is brought to vivid life with support by Fred Fab 5 Freddy Brathwaite, Sandra Lady Pink Fabara and Patti Astor, and with historic music performances by such luminaries as Grandmaster Flash, Busy Bee, The Fantastic Five, The Cold Crush Brothers and The Rock Steady Crew. To create the score, Chris Stein (Blondie) would collaborate with Brathwaite to produce the actual breakbeats to be used in the film, an inspired decision that would provide a source of obsession among crate diggers for decades to come.Endlessly sampled, imitated and debated, Wild Style is the truest portrait of the hip-hop scene during its early years, and remains one of the most important music films ever made. Arrow Films is proud to present Wild Style in an exclusive new 4K restoration with hours of brand-new bonus features, vintage interviews and featurettes.4K ULTRA HD LIMITED EDITION CONTENTSPerfect bound collector's book featuring new and archival essays and articles, alongside an extensive collection of stills and artwork from the film Reversible sleeve featuring two original artwork options Double-sided foldout poster featuring two original artwork options Exclusive mini-version of the Wild Style issue of Hip-Hop Family Tree comic book by Ed Piskor Three Wild Style logo stickersDISC 1 - FEATURE (4K ULTRA HD) Brand new 4K restoration from the original 16mm negative by Arrow Films 4K (2160p) Ultra HD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) Newly restored original lossless mono audio Optional English subtitles Brand new audio commentary with Jeff Chairman Mao and Andrew Monk One Mason Legacy commentary featuring director Charlie Ahearn and Fred Fab 5 Freddy Brathwaite Down by Law: Creating the Music of Wild Style, a brand new interview with Charlie Ahearn, Chris Stein and Fred Fab 5 Freddy Brathwaite Theatrical trailer Image galleryDISC 2 - EXTRAS (BLU-RAY) The Origin Story, an interview with Lee Quiñones and Fred Fab 5 Freddy Brathwaite Studio/Benchmark, an interview with Lee Quiñones Archive footage from Wild Style's 1983 Japanese Tour Two panel discussions and footage from the Wild Style 40 exhibition ZDF TV Wild Style 30th anniversary featurette Rammellzee in the Battle Station featuretteFeaturettes from the Wild Style 20th, 25th and 30th anniversary shows Smith Projects Gym (1977) Archival featurettes and interviews from the players and performers of Wild Style Outtakes Subway Rap music video 2025 Restoration and Theatrical trailersDISC 3 - LIMITED EDITION EXCLUSIVE CD Exclusive new Wild Style Megamix by Jorun Bombay Original radio spots by Fab 5 Freddy and Queen Lisa Lee Rare alternate mixes of Subway Rap and Wild Style Theme Rare audio outtakes from the film and soundtrackRare 1983 radio interview with Charlie Ahearn

• Robocop Trilogy | DVD | (04/02/2002) from £39.99   |  Saving you £-7.00 (N/A%)   |  RRP £32.99

  Paul Verhoeven was almost unknown in Hollywood prior to the release of RoboCop in 1987. But after this ultra-violent yet strangely subversive and satirical sci-fi picture became a huge hit his reputation for extravagant and excessive, yet superbly well-crafted filmmaking was assured. Controversial as ever, Verhoeven saw the blue-collar cop (Peter Weller) who is transformed into an invincible cyborg as "an American Jesus with a gun", and so the film dabbles with death and resurrection imagery as well as mercilessly satirising Reagan-era America. No targets escape Verhoeven's unflinching camera eye, from yuppie excess and corporate backstabbing to rampant consumerism and vacuous media personalities. As with his later sci-fi satire Starship Troopers the extremely bloody violence resolutely remains on the same level as a Tom and Jerry cartoon. The inevitable sequel, competently directed by Irvin Kershner, thankfully continues to mine the dark vein of anti-consumerist satire while being reflexively aware that it is itself a shining example of that which it is lampooning. Sadly the third instalment in the series, now without Peter Weller in the title role, is exactly the kind of dumbed-down production-line flick that the corporate suits of OCP might have dreamed up at a marketing meeting. Its only virtue is a decent music score from regular Verhoeven collaborator Basil Poledouris, whose splendid march theme returned from the original score. On the DVD: Packaged in a fold-out slipcase these three discs make a very collectable set. All are presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic prints, although only the first movie has any extra material worth mentioning. Here the Director's Cut option allows the viewer to see Paul Verhoeven's more explicitly violent versions of Murphy's "assassination", ED-209's bloody malfunction and the shootout finale. These extended sequences are handily signposted in the scene selection menu, and the filming of them can be seen in a sequence of Director's Cut footage. Deleted scenes include "Topless Pizza" ("I'll buy that for a dollar!") and there are two contemporary "making of" featurettes plus a good, new half-hour retrospective. Both the latter and the director's commentary make abundantly clear the Reagan-era satire and are chock full of quotable lines from Verhoeven--"I wanted to show Satan killing Jesus"--and his producer--"Fascism for liberals". Stop-motion animator Phil Tippett gives a commentary on the storyboard-to-film comparisons, and there are the usual trailers and photos. Showing just how much the sequels are rated in comparison, the second and third discs have nothing but theatrical trailers and their sound is just Dolby 2.0 whereas the original movie has been remastered into Dolby 5.1.--Mark Walker
