Caught 'King of Kong' for the first time, and quickly realised it was a battle of good and evil of biblical proportsions; Steve Weibe offering the saintly family man contrast to the super villainly of Billy Mitchell. The battleground of choice was (of course) Donkey Kong, but a special shout out to Billy Mitchell disciple Brian Kuh, who came across with more than a hint of Wormtongue (of LOTR fame). The documentary, as all do, edited and massaged to enhance the story, but there would have to be a revelation to prevent Billy Mitchell from painting himself as a complete arse who deserved some come uppance, and that was purely based on the what he said - factor in his bizarre hair, faux-patriotism, and general hot-sauce related demeanor, and he became the embodiment of conniving evil. Justice is served.
