Apr 18, 2016 Easily one of the most funniest and entertaining documentaries I have ever seen. See more Sep 30, 2013 A very sensitive and captivating study on the male psychology through the story of Ralph Zavadil See more Sep 19, 2012 Definitely worth a poke. See more Jul 3, 2012 Beautifully shot, interesting character but not enough for someone without any knowledge of the character it wasnt really enough to keep me in. The who story is good drawing me in moment to moment. The life of a man that was Jackass before there was jackass. Solid enough I look forward for what else from this director. See more May 19, 2012 pure, naive, sincere See more May 17, 2012 Before Jack Ass there was a guy who did crazy stunts under the name of Cap N Video. This documentary is about the man, his cable television show and his desire to put together a 20th Anniversary show. See more Read all reviews
