Alphabet City (1984) Official Trailer

Blu-ray and HD worldwide premiere of Amos Poe's ALPHABET CITY coming soon from Fun City Editions!

Available for pre-order here:

Johnny (Vincent Spano, Baby It’s You and Over the Edge) controls the drug trade in New York’s rough Alphabet City neighborhood—as long as his mob bosses let him. But, when he refuses to follow orders to torch the tenement building he grew up in, Johnny puts himself and his loved ones in their unforgiving crosshairs. No Wave filmmaker Amos Poe’s (The Blank Generation and Subway Riders) neo-noir cult favorite oozes ‘80s neon-lit, punk-tinged style.

The innovative and vividly colorful visuals spring from the lens of cinematographer Oliver Wood (TV’s Miami Vice, The Honeymoon Killers and Face/Off). Dance music legend and Chic co-founder Nile Rodgers’ supremely catchy synth-pop score propels the action. The cast of rising and veteran talents includes Kate Vernon (Pretty in Pink), Jami Gertz (Less Than Zero and The Lost Boys), Michael Winslow (the Police Academy series), Kenny Marino (Prince of the City and Death Wish 3) and Zohra Lampert (Let’s Scare Jessica to Death and Splendor in the Grass).

This and pope of Greenwich village are two of my favorite 80s movies from a bygone era in nycs history. The mgm dvd I own of this is not bad quality, but I definitely would buy the new blu ray. release.

0:41- Yeah, MY alphabet cereal come with extra X's and O's.
1:34- It's because you're 36 now, Johnny! You shoulda moved on from crime, and gone to the reunion with Aiden Quinn from Reckless (1984)!
2:20- The Alphabet City is heating up my ass?

Cool. Why don't you put this trailer and the excerpt from Vincent Spano interview on the product page? It might help more people to get interested in this picture.

Is that Adolph Caesar with the voice over?

[boycompass]

is there an award for worst trailer ever? I'd like to nominate this one

Absolutely one of the worst movies ever. If you took everything that was bad about the 80s and put it in one movie, this is it. The costumes, set decorating, directing and the worst NYC accents ever. Imagine Vinnie Barbarino from Welcome Back Kotter replacing Marlon Brando in the movie The Godfather.
