So has anybody else seen this?

I watched it yesterday, and I gotta say, for lack of a better term, it's just f***in great. one of the best documentaries I've ever seen.

The movie feels VERY much like Karate Kid in the way it presents its characters (Billy Mitchell and his cronies are Cobra Kai ALL OVER), complete with "You're the BEST... Around!" as Steve Wiebe plays... awesome.

And I honestly don't care if the movie made an unfair presentation of the villainous side of Mitchell and Twin Galaxies. It might make it kind of Michael Moore-ish, but darn it if it doesn't make for an awesome viewing experience, because you never would've rooted as much for Steve Wiebe or loved to hate Billy Mitchell if it didn't amp up the viciousness and pettyness from Billy's side.

One of the best times I've had watching a movie this year. couldn't help but smile from ear to ear after it.
 
I saw the trailer, looked great. Would love to see it, but this isn't getting a full release, which is a shame. I would gladly pay money to see it if it were in theaters near me.
 
Damn, I was going to post this today I had been seeing stuff about it for the last 2 weeks.

Anyways...looks great and can't wait to see it.
 
yeah, it was a great documentary.
