 Great movie |
| I saw this movie on Comedy Central last night and i learned so much about Andy Kaufman. I saw man on the moon and that had nothing in that. You should definitly buy this video. |
| andy was truly a comic- genius |
| when you combine the antics of mr. kaufman, and add it to the world of wrestling, and package it into a "documentary" that is meant to appear real, you have a very entertaining video. some of you may have seen this on COMEDY CENTRAL, in which case you should stil purchase the video, because there is about 15-20 minutes of additional footage that adds to the film greatly. the plain and simple truth is that andy's work was WAY ahead of his time, and he should always be remembered as someone who purposely tried to be himself, while straying from being the typical "comic" act, that so many still are. by inciting the people he was perfoming in front of, he , in-effect, made them the fools, and had all of us that understood him, laughing along with him all the way. |
 Rasslin' Andy |
| This highly entertaining documentary is a compilation of video showing the late comedian Andy Kaufman's adventures in professional wrestling. One has to admire Andy's chutzpah as he insults the whole southern United States, impugning their intelligence and even personal hygiene. It really is awe-inspiring to see the passions he stirred up--almost no one got the joke. Andy was years ahead of his time in his appreciation of pro wrestling as gonzo entertainment--the whole scene was only beginning to heat up when he died. Includes a straight-faced interview with Robin Williams in which he mourns his friend's lapse into "insanity." Although this didn't happen very long ago, it makes you nostalgic for a time of more innocence--there was more pride in regional difference and less cable-TV driven cultural homgenization, and the "sport" could be used for lighthearted comic purposes, instead of being just the hormone-crazed, violent spectacle of today. A fun video. |
