King of New York US Trailer (Abel Ferrara, 1990)

Available to Buy on the Arrow Films Website on Both Blu-ray and DVD - Abel Ferrara’s seminal cult gangster film is available on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK, in a deluxe edition brimming with special features, newly commissioned artwork and a collector’s booklet! King of New York tells the story of notorious gangster Frank White (Walken), just released from prison lowlifes have moved in on his patch so he’s going to clean up and in the process his psychosis wrestles with his charitable desire to build a new hospital in the South Bronx. The influence of Ferrara’s film is far and wide, from it’s use of Hip Hop (by rapper Schoolly D), sensational visuals, treatment of violence and its creation of a cult hero in Frank White, who like Tony Montana in Scarface became an icon and when Biggie Smalls aka ’the Notorious .’ would check into a hotel he’d use the name Frank White.
