This review is from: Biography - Mike Tyson (A&E DVD Archives) (DVD)

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.

This review is from: Biography - Mike Tyson (A&E DVD Archives) (DVD)

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.
