Special Features:
  • Intro (:33, HD) features actor Vincent Spano, who welcomes viewers to the "Alphabet City" viewing experience, and briefly explores the lost version of New York City found in the film.
  • Commentary features director Amos Poe and writer Luc Sante.
  • "Prince of Alphabet City" (21:59, HD) is an interview with Spano, who shares his early years in New York City, where he pulled off an impromptu song at a party, leading to his start as an actor. Landing a part in the Tony Award-winning play, "The Shadow Box," Spano soon found himself on Broadway, which led to early parts in "Over the Edge" and "Baby It's You," with his big break roles in "The Black Stallion Returns" and "Rumble Fish," working for Francis Ford Coppola. For "Alphabet City," Spano connected to the role though a tour of the dangerous area, while costuming efforts from Anna Taylor offered him a distinct look for the character. The interviewee shares extended anecdotes about filming, including the staging of a fight between him and longtime pal/co-star Daniel Jordano when stunt men couldn't make it look real, and there's an amusing tale of a late night joyride in a Trans Am that triggered interest from the police. Spano celebrates the work of director Amos Poe, cinematographer Oliver Wood, composer Nile Rodgers, and details his relationships with co-stars. Audience reaction is recalled, along with cult longevity, with Spano happy to have "Alphabet City" available on Blu-ray for the fans.
