tyson's biography video
by lisa curious (ohio)
great condition, arrived on time, happy with my purchase, and the person I bought this video from.

one of A&E's weaker efforts ....wait for TYSON or buy the Ringside DVDs
by Richardson (Sunny California USA)
Hi,
I can't recommend this DVD unless you can buy it for under $5. There are "stills" where fight footage should be and too many non-important talking heads blabbing about Mike and not enough Mike talking. The new movie "TYSON" is out in the UK and will be out over here soon and is much much better. The two out of print ESPN DVDs are both HIGHLY superior to this tabloid styled bio DVD. I'm very disappointed in A&E , they usually deliver.
5/5
Quality DVD
by Phil S. (USA)
You don't have to be a boxing fan or historian to enjoy this product. It is carefully assembled from rare footage and well-conducted and edited interviews with friends and co-workers. 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. The reported menacing behavior is also well-documented and intolerable, though it seems that his complexity has been misunderstood by many.
This DVD concludes in the mid-'90s when he was living as a convict, when a future "comeback", or return at some level was just shakey speculation. His re-emergence, including more violence and confusion, of course is not covered. A very impressive production, nonetheless.
2/5
Nice but could be better
by Michael Williams Jr. (Detroit, MI United States)
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.
5/5

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.
