Editorial Reviews

From the back cover

He was the best loved boxing champion since Muhammad Ali. But Mike Tyson's extraordinary rise to fame was matched by his shocking fall from grace. His controversial story, from juvenile to international hero to convicted rapist, is told here in full. Oscar winning director Barbara Kopple pulls no punches in this unauthorized biography. Through rare footage and exclusive interviews, she explores the legend: young Mike's relationship with his 'half-crazy, half-blind' mentor Gus D'Amato, his phenomenal killer instinct, his tumultuous marriage to actress Robin Givens, his association with Don King and eventual rape charge that brought him down. Fallen Champ: The Untold Story of Mike Tyson speaks with those who know Mike privately and professionally, and goes behind the scenes to craft a fascinating portrait of a man for whom violence was both a job and a way of life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fallen Fallen Champ, July 20, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Fallen Champ - The Untold Story of Mike Tyson [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Unfortunately this video was made in 1993 so it is very out of date.
But the title is perfectly appropriate since Mike Tyson was been a fallen champion
ever since and as time goes on he only seems to fall farther. Regardless this documentary is an objective source to answer most questions about Mike Tyson and gain some insight into him. The footage of a teenage Iron Mike was a major highlight. Although if you're interested mainly in boxing footage Mike Tyson-The Inside Story is better.
