Description:
In the ring and out, see the rage that made him a champion and led to his downfall in this portrait of a man who can't defeat the demons inside him.

Mike Tyson has lived his professional and personal lives in the public spotlight, yet this installment for the A&E Biography manages to pack some surprises into its portrayal of the former heavyweight champion. Rescued from a life that would have led to 'Attica or death,' in the words of noted journalist Jack Newfield, Tyson was a prodigy in the ring due in part to his fanatical work ethic. His former managers and training partners interviewed in this documentary vividly recall a young Tyson who was always striving to be the best boxer ever, and footage shot for a documentary on his legendary trainer, Cus D'Amato, show him as a surprisingly sensitive 15-year-old. Tyson's years of perseverance paid off, yet after attaining great wealth and fame Tyson's life began to unravel. This documentary ends with Tyson still languishing behind bars, after being convicted of rape in a controversial case in Indiana, and while the video is dated, the coverage of his life to that point is first-rate. In his prime, Tyson was a brilliant boxer, and this intelligent and sensitive portrayal of how he was saved from a doomed life only to attain greatness and then spiral into self-destructive behavior is fascinating and disturbing. --Robert J. McNamara

The subject is a great athlete of with high aspiration; his scientific physical and mental preparation, including an intellectual study of his occupation, bespeak a remarkably disciplined man in his worklife, but the antithesis in his private life. In that light, he should be taken very seriously as a cultural enigma. ... Read More

Anyone considering buying this DVD should note that it was done in 1994. This DVD gives a cursory review of Mike Tyson and does NOT include his professional and personal battles after prison. The interviews are good and keeps a steady pace, but more could have been said.
