The Krays (1990)
Thursday 5th October 2023
Two of Britain's most notorious brothers The Krays were taken on by another famous pair of siblings The Kemps in Peter Medak's big screen gangster biopic. Originally released in 1990 the film has gone on to gain cult status and is now set for a standard Blu-ray release from Second Sight Films on 20th November 2023.
Gary and Martin Kemp were 80s music sensations, as part of the band Spandau Ballet they were internationally acclaimed with a huge fanbase... but when they made their big screen debut, people questioned whether they'd cut the mustard. They proved the doubters wrong with their powerhouse performances, as the infamous twins Ronnie and Reggie Kray and were supported by a stand-out cast including an impressive performance by award-winning actor Billie Whitelaw (The Omen) as their good old Mum.
From their humble East End beginnings, Ronnie and Reggie Kray became the most notorious figures in London's gangland underworld. From extortion to murder, their horrific brutality became legendary and throughout the 50s and 60s they ruled by fear, until life sentences in 1969 finally ended their bloody reign of terror.
