    Yeah it's out on DVD. I watched it last night. It is very good and shows a side to the man which many dont believe he has. Very funny at times and Very Very sad at times. Watching him cry when he talks fondly of D'Amto makes you realise just how much this man did for him. Was funny when he called Don King a "retched Swine" ha ha

    Will we ever see another heavyweight like Mike? I think not.

    Watching Tyson choke up when talking about Cus was humbling. It's refreshing to see a documentary about Tyson entirely from his perspective, and it would seem as though he didn't hold anything back. Heart breaking but compelling.

    yeah. i've seen it in its entirety just recently. pretty good and very informative especially due to mike's personal insights on what he was actually feeling and thinking during those key events in his life.

    I watched it last night too. I now understand him a lot more, it was really interesting. It seems he understands himself well, calling himself and extremeest... either extremely at one end or the other of the spectrum in what ever he does. Being average or "normal" isn't something he seems capable of.

    One thing is for sure, we will never see him in the ring again.

    Oh, and I didn't realize he was a fat kid that got bullied... he should go on that new TV show, Bully Beatdown.

    Brings it all back, i cant even begin to talk about how much of an impact Mike Tyson had, I have never seen such an awesome destroyer of men either before or after his three years of absolute dominance at the end of the 80's. There was Foreman and there was Liston and many other scary Heavy's throughout history but they were before my time and while i was growing up Mike Tyson was indeed the Baddest man on the Planet!

    This film is good but is pretty much a souped up interview with Mike on his couch, a bit like a session at the shrink. He shows quite a bit of emotion and is very reflective like he's leaving another part of himself so when he's gone we know that there was a lot more to Tyson than just the Media portrayal.

    Good Film I'd give it 7.5/10
