80 Blocks From Tiffany's - Official DVD Trailer (Fall 2010)

Coming Fall 2010

Five Day Weekend proudly presents a trailer for the upcoming re-release of "80 Blocks From Tiffany's." Available commercially for the first time in 25 years, "80 Blocks..." finally gets to see the light of day, and will, without doubt, take its rightful place among the best documentary films of the 1970s.

Only a film-maker like Gary Weis, with strong youth and counter-culture credentials (including his numerous productions for the original Saturday Night Live), could penetrate the mental and physical fortresses constructed by the young toughs who prowl the New York streets in gangs. Weis gets on the inside of these gangs and exposes their illegal activities, their techniques, their reasons, their girls, and the cops who interact with them.

The much anticipated DVD release will include the feature film as well as never before seen interviews, a 40 page hard cover book featuring brand new liner notes, artwork by Julian Allen, the original "Savage Skulls" article by the late Jon Bradshaw (Esquire Magazine, June 1977), and more.

@davidmthekidd i hope so....things are right kinda lame right now tha 70s gangs was way cooler and everything. but then again i find that hard to belive.....the 70s was the 70s. everything had style back then. now everything is looking raggety as fuck....maybe its the hd cameras...i dont know

[1KillaSkrilla1]

@1KillaSkrilla1 yeah but still...a follow up documentary would be rad.. but no documenraty can ever fuck with this one right here . this is officially the best documentary ive ever seen and ive seen alot. correct me if im wrong

[WAKEUPshift111]

i wish somebody would finally tell us what happened to these guys. Who is still alive and who's not... and what are they up to these days.

[STBNY]

@davidmthekidd Totally agree with you. I've watched documentaries about our devaluing currency. This nation's broke.

[davidmthekidd]

@STBNY the entire financial system will crash. Scene's like these will return. Thanks to our shitty government policies.

@IHS7 summer of 1979

[davidmthekidd]

@1KillaSkrilla1 not really. there's a website dedicated to that gang. I used to live near by. most of them were murdered in the 80s
