Synopsis:
He’s a wild, irresponsible two-timing wiseguy from Brooklyn. But you gotta love him. Spike Fumo (Sasha Mitchell) aspires to boxing glory and doesn’t want to end up a loser like his dad, who’s taking a rap in Sing Sing for local mob boss Baldo Cacetti (Ernest Borgnine). When tough, handsome and not very smart Spike hooks up with the mobster’s blonde princess daughter Angel (Maria Pitillo), he angers Cacetti and is banished from Italian Bensonhurst to Puerto Rican Red Hook. How will Spike rebound after being bounced from the only turf he’s ever known? Legendary New York filmmaker Paul Morrissey’s satiric comedy is a wise and very funny sendup of Brooklyn mafia community relations in the ‘80s. Newly-restored from it’s original 35mm camera negative, Spike of Bensonhurst makes its worldwide debut on 4K UHD and Blu-ray.
