King of Kong hits DVD today and we are doing what we do best and giving away 5 free copies to you MovieFanatics! The real life journey of two men competing for the world record in the classic arcade game Donkey Kong is captured on film in the hilariously quirky documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, arriving on DVD from New Line Home Entertainment on January 29, 2008. Charting the eccentric obsession of those in the video gaming world subculture, the film deconstructs what drives grown men to be the very best in an arguably inane pursuit.
As a middle-school science teacher and a hot sauce mogul engage in a cross country rivalry, the scandal and intrigue of tampered boards, rising scores and hours at the console reinforce the lengths to which individuals will go to win – and the fleeting glory of their hard earned success. The DVD features never-before-seen filmmaker and player interviews, featurettes and player side-by-side tapes.
