Boyz N The Hood 4K

The weather remains cold outside and there’s no stopping any inevitable Valentine’s Day celebration packed with expectations of chocolate, flowers and the perfect gift. Fortunately, the newly released Boyz N The Hood 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and Digital HD release has finally arrived. Today, check out the top five reasons this is a must-own for your movie stash.

Reason 1 – It’s A Classic

There are some movies you just have to call classics – no matter the box office sales or Oscars. Boyz N The Hood is one of the biggest cult classics of the 90’s. More than 20 years since its release, the film still goes down as a raw look at society in South Central Los Angeles and puts together a mixture of strong emotions, unforgettable dialogue and a shocking ending people still talk about today. To make things better this is finally available in stunning 4K Ultra HD quality giving you the best possible clarity.

Reason 2 – Star-Studded Cast

The cast is jam-packed with iconic and legendary actors. From Ice Cube, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Morris Chestnut to Laurence Fishburne, Angela Bassett and Nia Long, there are too many names to mention. Strong, influential and game-changing black excellence acting from start to finish in stunning 4K makes this a no-brainer. Then you add amazing supporting cast members like Regina King and Tyra Ferrell make you realize the rarity of having so many amazing talents all on the same screen. 

Reason 3 – The Rotten Tomatoes Don’t Lie

Numbers never lie and with this movie being such a legendary film in the early 90’s, the 96 percent Rotten Tomatoes certified fresh rating proves it’s held up over time and is a work of art. The look at urban America really raised eyebrows and inspired even more films but none to this magnitude. 

Reason 4 – Tons of Bonus Features

If you’re a fan of having great bonus content, this collector’s item comes with tons of amazing perks. There’s a behind the scenes featurette to get you up-close with the cast, a making of segment, audition tapes of Ice Cube, Angela Bassett, Morris Chestnut and Tyra Ferrell. There are also music video additions including “Growin’ Up In The Hood” and Tevin Campbell’s “Just Ask Me To” in the Blu-ray bonus features section. 

Reason 5 – Remembering The Legend John Singleton

The fifth reason this is a must-own is because it pays ample respect to John Singleton’s legacy. The game-changing writer/director received Academy Award nominations for Best Director and Best Writing and also became the first African American nominated in the Best Director category. To pay proper homage, there’s a John Singleton tribute in the 4K Ultra HD section and there’s also a director’s commentary letting you get into the mind of John and really seeing his vision.

Tribeca Film Festival to Host Screening of ‘Boyz n the Hood’ to Celebrate John Singleton

The film industry is reeling after the death of John Singleton. In what will be one of many ways to tribute the legendary filmmaker, Tribeca Film Festival will host a free screening of Boyz n the Hood on Friday, May 3.

Boyz n the Hood was Singleton’s directorial debut and the success of the 1991 film landed the then 24-year-old director his first Academy Award-nomination. The film and Singleton were nominated for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards.

 “John Singleton accomplished what all creators strive to. He entertained, but also inspired a generation of audiences. As the first African-American director as well as the youngest director to be nominated for an Academy Award at the age of 24, he allowed so many to envision themselves as changemakers,” said Jane Rosenthal of the Tribeca Film Festival. “We want to celebrate him as we consider the legacy that he has left behind and so the Festival is adding a free screening of Boyz n the Hood on Friday May 3 for the community to come together, see his pivotal film, and honor John.”

The tickets for the Boyz n the Hood screening are free and can be acquired by signing up here. The screening will be Friday, May 3 at SVA.
