Mainly focuses on his feud with Memphis wrestling legend, Jerry "The King" Lawler, and features interviews from his "Taxi" co-stars, announcer Lance Russell, and Robin Williams. This DVD is exactly what the synopsis here says it is. It was not originally intended to be anything but live appearances by Andy Kaufman at Memphis Wrestling shows. Five years after Kaufman's death, this 60-minute documentary was released with added "interviews" with Tony Danza, Robin Williams, and a few others talking about Kaufman's obsession with professional wrestling and his appearances at this time.

Original Title : I Like to Hurt People Year : 1985 Director : Donald G. Jackson Writer : - IMDb : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0261742/ Genre : Documentary, Wrestling Synopsis: The Shiek wreaks havoc throughout the sleaziest locales of the American wrestling circuit, maiming, mauling, and living up to his life's code: I like to hurt people! It's funny. As I was watching I Like To Hurt People, I couldn't help but be reminded of Ed Wood: the infamous (that's when you're MORE than famous!) shlockmeister who would use random stock footage in his movies to fill time.

Original Title : The Wrestling Queen Year : 1973 Director : ? Writer : - IMDb : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0163910/ Genre : Documentary, Wrestling While the title is a bit misleading, this is pretty much exactly what the genre states. It's a wrestling documentary that seems to be focused on a Southern territory in the early 1970s. While it is good seeing quite a bit of classic wrestling footage, and interesting to hear interviews with fans who could get pretty rabid about the sport, the film struggled to hold my interest as it ultimately is not a very well made documentary. First the title. It is called Wrestling queen, and from the poster one may go in expecting a 75 minute documentary on one lady wrestler in particular - Vivian Vachon... The daughter of legendary Mad Dog Vachon. But really only 10 minutes is even spent on her. Most of the film is spent listening to fans and watching men's matches. And that is really all the film is. You will get 5 minutes or so of a match......
