The King of Kong is a nice piece of documentary filmaking that really plays of the old underdog story so very nicely. The reason it works is the Underdog is a very likable guy and the champion is pretty much a jerk. The movie also delves deep into the arcade years and these arcade machines are just about two to three years before I learned of the wonders of the coinop. Of course I’ve played them all as they are indeed classics. Hollywood is already remaking this into a film so do yourself a favor, see the real story instead,
King of Kong is a nice treat.
