Special Features
Style Wars, finally in HD. A beautiful new 2K transfer from the original 16mm print; Feature commentary by director-producer Tony Silver and producer Henry Chalfant; Digitally remastered 5.1 DTS-HD soundtrack; English subtitles for the hearing impaired; ; The Outtakes: a brand new 40 min. film. With the help of donors and fans from Kickstarter we sorted through almost 30 hours of leftover materials to bring you hidden gems and fascinating moments never before seen. Also transferred to HD from the original 16mm, The Outtakes is part nostalgia and part hindsight, taking fans back in time to tell new stories, show slightly different perspectives and delve deeper into the world of 80s New York City; ; B-Boy showcase: a montage of fast paced phenomenally acrobatic gems. The Rock Steady Crew at their tour launch party, in the studio, on the streets, and battling it out against the Dynamic Rockers at the United Skates of America in Queens; ; Style Wars in the cutting room: in the summer of '83 a camera visited Valkhn Films, an editing house where Style Wars was painstakingly sliced together. This 25 min piece is a rare glimpse at the process of telling a real story as it's happening and the people who keep it real. See editor Sam Pollard, director Tony Silver, supervising editor Victor Kanefsky, and more, make history in this unusual and candid short
