I recently saw "King of Kong: Fistful of Quarters - Review" and I have to say this documentary is AWESOME. The storyline is that Steve Wiebe is trying to beat Pac Man and Donkey Kong Champion Billy Mitchell's high score on Donkey Kong. The documentary has a lot of great interviews with all the people involved in Steve's struggle to get the top score. You get to see a lot into the life of Steve and Billy and see exactly how each other acts to each other. I don't want to blow much about this movie but I will give my opinion on the two individuals and how they are portrayed.
I met Billy Mitchell at the 2005 Summer CPL tournament in Dallas, Texas. Billy was one of the most elitist assholes I had ever met because he had 2 world record scores. I do think that the scores are a great achievement but as with anyone that is very good at something being modest is very important. I met Steve Wiebe recently at Comic Con 2007. Steve was a very well spoken man who didn't mind answering any questions about Donkey Kong his personal life or anything. I find it very ironic how two people with similar goals can be so different. But back to the movie. If you enjoy documentaries on any level you should definitely check this documentary out. Look for show times at
