Jan 16, 2015 Surprisingly engrossing. See more Oct 25, 2013 The sort of documentary that you want to watch when you don't want to think too much about life and enjoy the quirkiness of a story that you might never have known too much about before you watch it. Not sure if the film maker is an aficionado of arm wrestling but whether he is or not, the film focuses simply upon three main characters and it sometimes feels like the premise for a rocky movie as you see their different paths to be the best in the sport. Highly amusing and worth a go. See more Oct 13, 2013 Supermega awesome. One of the best on netflix. See more Sep 22, 2013 A thought-provoking and fairly captivating look at a world known to few, but made entertaining and enjoyable through good story-telling and the wonderful character of a humble champion idolised in his field. See more Jan 5, 2013 Awesome documentary on legendary Arm Wrestling champion John Brzenk! I had found this one on Netflix and was happy to give it a watch. It basically covers three arm wrestlers, one who dominated the sport for 2 decades and is contemplating retirement, and two other up and coming arm wrestlers looking to become legends themselves. It's a very entertaining tale, with lots of humor and suspenseful moments. The run time on this film is perfect and I would recommend this as a good buddy film. See more Sep 9, 2012 Came across this on Netflix and watched it. It was a somewhat okay documentary, though you really need an interesting personality (e.g., Schwarzenegger in Pumping Iron) for these types of movies to work. See more Read all reviews
