Documentary month Day 03 film 03 King of Kong

King of Kong
2007


Who would have thought that a documentary about 2 guys trying to set the world record on Donkey Kong would be so much fun. This is the story of two men. Steve Wiebe,an out of work family man. And Billy Mitchell,a rich man who owns a a hot sauce company. Billy has had the world record on Donkey Kong for decades.

Through out the film Wiebe keeps trying to get Mitchell to play him head to head in Donkey Kong,and Mitchell never does. Even when He is about 10 minutes away. This makes Michell come off as a total asshat. And after reading up on him it seems this is pretty accurate.

We are also introduced to the other "big" names in the world record scene for classic arcade games. And it is loaded with lots of very oddball people. Like the one guy who has set the world record for playing Crystal Castle with his foot.

The DVD comes loaded with hours of extras. There is 2 commentaries that are both fun to listen too. Plus a few updates and deleted scenes. King of Kong gets a A-.
