The King of Kong:A Fistful of Quarters

In The King of Kong:A Fistful of Quarters the high score for playing the video game Donkey Kong is a hot and heavy competition. Documentation, credibility and a group of grown men vying for world record scores makes a compelling documentary. Another miss for me at the Newport Film Festival, gotta love DVD!

I loved this little film and was lucky enough to catch this at a screening with a full theater and the crowd broke into a cheer during the closing moments. It was electrifying! Happy to hear you ejoyed it!

I got a chance to see this in the theatre and it was fantastic with all the cheering and giggling through. Was one of my faves of 2007 and I've revisited it on dvd often. Glad to hear it has yet another fan!

Hi Shannon! This must have been fun with a theater audience. I saw it again with my daughter and her husband, It was fun to comment and cheer!
