Review Date:

I cherish Scorsese's 80s comedies, relishing After Hours slightly more, yet The King of Comedy's keen insights and top-notch release shine.

The King of Comedy's Blu-ray release by 20th Century Fox features a quality 1080p presentation in 1.85:1, using well-maintained elements. Despite intentional lo-fi segments by Scorsese, the film demonstrates natural colors and captures vivid Manhattan scenes with good detail, although some indoor scenes appear softer.

Audio: 65

The King of Comedy's DTS-HD MA Mono mix capably delivers its straightforward sound, though the Jerry Langford Show theme shines in LPCM 5.1 on the menu, revealing the mono's narrower output; yet, for dialogue and effects, it suffices without damage.

Extra: 56

Features include Deleted Scenes (480i; 37:59), a Scorsese, De Niro, Lewis Q&A at Tribeca (1080i; 29:50), The Making of The King of Comedy featurette (480i; 18:57), and the Trailer (480i; 1:29).

Movie: 76

Scorsese's '80s comedies, 'King of Comedy' & 'After Hours,' show his dark humor through a fame-obsessed society and complex characters, reflecting a still-prevalent celebrity culture.
