Behold The Biggest Man-Bitch Of All Time... Trailer for THE KING OF KONG: A FISTFUL OF QUARTERS Arrives!
Hey folks, Harry here... there are times that a film is coming... one that you wouldn't think would be worth a shiny brand new quarter... but in fact, it's a film you'll plunk quarter after quarter after quarter and on and on and on till they're all gone for. That's THE KING OF KONG: A FISTFUL OF QUARTERS. I saw this film at the Alamo Drafthouse South during SXSW... and folks... it is brilliant.
Remember the original ROCKY? Remember the Hong Kong film I recommended years ago, PING PONG? How about WHEN WE WERE KINGS?
Well, there is a movie... a tiny little documentary... It's about one of the most epic battles in the history of man. David and Goliath. 300 Spartans vs a zillion Persian empire blokes. The Alamo. George W Bush and a Geography test. I'm talking epic odds against ya sort of scenarios.
Well - sometimes the little guy wins, sometimes he don't. Point is, sometimes... just sometimes you've got to step toe to toe with the impossible... like flying into space with a Mac to take out a mothership bent on destroying Planet Earth. Sometimes you have to take that leap. Sometimes you strap your self to a submersible and take the leap off the cliff to the bottomless pit - to save the aliens, to be the hero... to beat Donkey Kong... but sometimes it's about beating the guy that beat Donkey Kong.
This documentary is a wonder. It's easy to be cynical about a film about two guys that play Donkey Kong. This is a tremendous story of going the distance. Of never giving up. Of backstabbing dirty-dealing cowardly actions by a full-blooded kentucky fried chicken-shit in salsa.
A story of heroes... and villains...
Here's the trailer for... THE KING OF KONG: A FISTFUL OF QUARTERS!!!
What's your High Score? Can you prove it? Bitch, please. You never saw the fucking kill screen on a single quarter!

link?
-
not within the code, should work now
-
That abortion line sold me.
-
I'm most likely going to have to wait for this to hit video before I see it.
-
Read a few rave reviews for this already.
-
well nothing really.
-
Instead of red, white and blue shorts, Apollo wears a tie! Damn it! Where's this playing!
-
HAHA! That guy is a dick. I love this movie already.
-
But the movie has balls. And Donkey Kong.
-
That movie is going to rule. Like the abortion issue... wow.
I hope the sequel is going to be the "WHERE ARE THEY NOW?" for the original Street Fighter II champions that sat in the arcade for days and days and days. -
that looks like the greatest film of all time
-
I'll line up for this one...won't we all???
-
It had to be said.
-
I'm also glad to see Billy Mitchell be exposed as the pretentious asshole I've heard(read) him to always be. Too bad though that some bigwig got it in their head to option this doc as a big-budgeted Hollywood-made feature film. Can't wait to see that one crash & burn.
-
Can't wait for the sequel about the greatest players of Donkey Kong Jr. Oh, and these guys seem about as interesting to watch as World Series of Poker players. What a couple of uninteresting loathsome douchebags. (no offense, Mr.Mitchell)
-
When I first read the article I was VERY skeptical. I thought it was some nonsense Harry was trying to push onto us. BUT. THEN. I SAW THAT TRAILER! Oh my goodness. This has just vaulted into top 3 movies I can't wait to see this year status. Good one Harry. This flick looks great! Consider me souped!!
-
great stuff...I'll definitely see this when I can...
-
Only it wont suck!
So Awesome, looking forward to it.
Hell, id watch a movie about ANYONE who actually managed to finish "Impossible Mission" on Commodore 64.
Can only hope it kicks of a trend for digging up old video game champs and what they are doing now.
-
Another one from the 'You couldn't write this stuff' file.
-
make an appearance as King Vidiot?
-
that guy Billy looks like a 70's porn star or an extra from Days of Our Lives
And he is a tosser -
Heh, gotta love that trailer. That was probably one of the best sold documentries of late. But as much as I liked the trailer, I wonder if the 'infotainment' will be sustained for a full flick. Seems like it would work better as a short.
-
I will watch this one. Wait, it's not coming to the midwest? Fuck the government!
-
I saw King of Kong in Seattle during their film festival a few weeks ago and it's hilarious. I basically laughed through the entire thing.
-
"Do the Donkey Kong" is wholly appropriate, naturally. And may I say I ruled at Donkey Kong, Jr. Hated those trap thingies.
-
And it's coming to my town. Gnarly.
-
I missed this at the Boston Independent Film Festival some weeks back, but I heard a lot of people raving about it. I'll have to check it out.
-
Thats the talk =>.I want to see this film,those guys are serious.
-
You're a bully! I hope you go down in this movie! By the way. What do you think of, Pac-Man, The Championship Edition on Xbox Live? I'm loving it!
-
'Cause judging by this trailer he is one honest-to-God BITCH!!! What a worthless fucking waste of life.
-
You guys REALLY need to get out more. Talk to real people, forget MySpace. NOT a worthy topic for a documentary... end of story..period.
-
Man, could that guy get anymore cheesey? Holyshizznitz!!! Is that fooker stuck in 1991? Anyway, DK was hard to play that is for sure, not cause it was possessed, but because the game was so shitty it did whatever it wanted....Jump Mario...no jump now, not a nano-second after I tell you....now motherfooker now!!!! well I hope these 2 guys bought stock in KY, cause I am sure that they are not getting laid.
-
is japanese film. Not HK. unless we are talking about different film.
-
I'll be there for the hair-do's and the tiny drumming, Looks 80's sweet!
-
This was playing at Tribeca and pretty sure someone already reviewed it on that site from that... and I know its played and many other festivals even before that...
I can understand reviewing it now, but acting like its little known and just out of the gate? I dunno about that... I have seen loads of reviews since April and know many people know about the film....
I wanted to see it at Tribeca but didnt get the chance. -
Billy needs to see a style guru mega quick. If he walked around my estate looking like that he'd not last a mile.Still, he good at Donkey Kong and that's all that matters.....to him...
-
That right there got me into the threatre. I want to see the man who beat PAC-MAN. Get his freakin ass handed to him by a loser with a bunch of broken dreams. THIS IS MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY COUNTTTTTTTTTTRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
That's right. Im taking it back to February. -
is a dick!
-
But he can fuck you up with his mega Donkey Kong kung fu skillz..The Mullet means business!!!
-
Man that trailer was fuckin spectacularifical ...This is now on my must see list...Thanks Harry.
-
just watched it again....the line along the lines of "I've seen Steve cry more than any other man I know"...I can't wait to see this dude's dreams shattered by that dirty low down Drakkar Noir smellin - Kentucky mud flap hairdo sportin- Donkey Kong obliterating asshole...this is really gonna be good...
-
That is if it was a special education class. What a waste of fucking time.
-
did harry actually post an article that fails to mention eli roth, HD-DVD, OR his upcoming marriage? what is this world coming to?
-
I'm goin' outta my mind...
-
best movie I have seen this year...run to the theater when It comes to your town.
-
I'm crossing my fingers for another Grizzly Man.
-
Not that I miss them. At all.
-
Caught this at Slamdance. Trust me on this: you will never be so delighted. Just saying that it's am movie about DONKEY KONG and watching the trailer gives you no clue as to how engrossing this is.
Never heard an audience babbling to effusively about a movie after leaving the theater. Equally, I've never seen people immediately, unequivocally hate a villain like they hated Billy Mitchell.
Mark this down as my surprise pick of the summer. It definitely won't do anywhere close to Michael Moore money, but people will be talking about it for a while. Incidentally, the part of the movie that blew my mind the most was a short segment with a guy who designed special gloves so he could play MARBLE MADNESS without getting blisters...and then he admitted that sometimes he plays with his feet. -
PING PONG is not a Hong Kong movie. Google that fucking shit, it's not rocket science. REAL geeks get their damn facts straight. That's a real bad habit around AICN - butcher the English language all you want, it's in a constant state of flux anyway. But do it armed with the real information, not inaccuracies. And now to actually read the review.
