Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth (DVD + Digital Copy)

Awesome flick. Must see

The story of Mike Tyson is definitely one of my personal favourite ones EVER. I have seen many documentaries of Mike Tyson and I have looked into other areas of his life. I am not into boxing or any sports of that kind. But Mike's life story is really something incredibly inspiring. There are tons of stories of this kind, where a poor man, against all adds hits the top, and makes it. But Mike Tyson in many aspects stands alone, strong and super-cool. In ICON-athlete category to me he is with Bruce Lee, Maradona and Pelé, and totally belongs to the world ... From a "human" perspective, his highs and lows are truly unbelievable - SUPER-HUMAN. Mike is still going and seem to be in a great place in his life, fairly sane, still very strong and with great sense of humour.Over-all, the "movie" is incredible. It is a testament of Mike's state of mind at the moment, and his place in his life at the moment. It's Mike Tyson telling his own life story, in his own words, on the stage right in front of the audience. It's semi-scripted stand-up, based on the book of his own biography with title of "Undisputed Truth". It was all done and filmed in smaller venue. I'd call this very up-close and personal. It shows Mike Tyson in very accessible light. He appears to be happy and fairly stable. In this movie his personality is HUGE. He is very entertaining to listen to and really seem like fun guy to be around with. It's almost shocking how strong and big personality comes from boxer. In theory most successful "athletes" are ponies of some-body else's ideas, support and money. The story of Mike Tyson definitely has elements of that, but it does NOT define him at all. His life's journey took him in million directions, to all time highs to 100 feet below ground and he comes back up every-time ...I am really NOT Spike Lee fan and because of that, I resisted this DVD for a long time. I don't see any "typical" Spike Lee in this - it's PURE dose of Mike. Great, great, great experience - Long Live Mike!!!

I watched it four times. This show allowed you To see the real Mike Tyson. I think it is one of my top five favorites

The quotes the life story all of it was amazing this is a must watch even if you are not a fight fan it's hard hitting reality of rise from the gutter to the top then back down and up again. An experience you cannot google but it is amazing to hear it from someone who is "AWARE" of where he came from where he ended up and where he's going.This one quote in the movie was AWESOME and I'm buying this right now.Demons“So one day I’m in Cus’ living room and I’m reading a boxing encyclopedia,” said Tyson in his routine. “Great fighters like Sam Lackford, Harry Greib, Jack Britton, Ted ‘The Kid’ Lewis, Willie Pep and the great, legendary Sugar Ray Robinson… You add up all the fights, that’s like 1500 fights. I gave up right there. I said, ‘Cus, I could never be like them, I can’t do this.’ Then he looked at me in the eye and said [doing an impression of D’Amato], ‘Mike, you gotta read the whole records… We never hear any more about the guys that they knocked out… Know why, Mike? ’Cause at one point someone knocked them out… But these men you’re reading about, these champs, they never quit. They never got discouraged, you know? And that’s why these [other] guys—their demons will follow them forever, Mike. ’Cause they had a chance to face their demons and they didn’t… You have to face your demons, you hear me, Mike? ’Cause if you don’t, they’ll follow you into eternity. And you remember, Mike, be careful how you fight your fights—’cause the way you fight your fights, will be the way you’ll live your life.’ Then I never quit again.”

I am an unabashed fan of Iron Mike. The fighter. I am now a fan of Mike, the man. I continue to watch the fights and the many documentaries on him. I came to this work knowing some stuff. Not much was new but it was so rewarding and in a lot of places fun to watch Mike talk about what would be terribly painful and sometimes embarrassing experiences. I came away thinking, I love it. The vulnerability that so much of society is lacking. Everyone so afraid of being hurt that they live a life unknown or unknowable. Not so for Mike. Mike lays it out there. I read his book so I don't wonder what he's not telling us. He's telling us who he is and who he was, all the while admitting that back then he didn't even know. There is no shame in it. When we are young, most of us don't know who we are, we know what we do. Who we are is the question that living life will hopefully answer.I would encourage the reading of Mike's memoir. I defy you to put it down once you've picked it up. Mike is a rather masterful storyteller. I am rooting for him to conquer as he once did in the ring.

Much like the man himself...gritty, tough, street-wise, but also painfully honest, teeming with raw emotion and most of all hilarious. What's great about this is that Tyson is able to laugh at himself and be self-deprecating. This is such a surprise and a welcome one, and makes his exposition that much more enjoyable. Overall a raw and honest look through the waypoints of his life, and with the bravery to address the passing of his child which I understand he struggled with greatly during this shows initial broadway runs. Spike Lee adds a bit of direction, narrative structure and effects and music, with deft selection. Overall a fascinating and emotional look into Tyson's past that will have you intrigued, rolling with laughter and finally sympathetic toward an often misunderstood soul. Well produced and highly recommended.

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing Mike Tyson tell his story with humor and candor. Found him endearing and authentic.

He’s honest, humble, hilarious, raw and vulnerable. Any preconceived notions of him are shattered when he takes you through the journey of his life. He’s just captivating, remarkably entertaining and undeniably adorable. I loved every minute of it.

What an outstanding surprise! Tyson shows excellent stand-up skills, after all he used to be on a ring in front of thousand people. Spike Lee is so smart to know that and work on his biography turning it into a fantastic one-man-show. Tyson is funny, versatile, brilliant, and suddenly turns dark, intimate, fragile like a child. And, like a child, is still full of enthusiasm and innocence in telling his story and his mother's story, in showing his weakness. Something that only strong people can do. Spike Lee plays with his body, his voice, and add some cool fx, but never shows off, never put himself and his style before Myke. He let him do what he wants on stage, let him be politically incorrect and straightforward. ANd still he is not vulgar, but even swearwords are a proof of his creativity and irresistible energy. Go and get it!

Purchased this for my husband for Xmas, only to find it wouldn't play! Something to do with regions/zones? Only suitable for states. Disappointed. Did get refund tho.

very good as usual thank you

Tyson is a legend.. I love this DVD.

Awesome
