A New King Of Kong


In 2007, Picturehouse released a fascinating documentary titled 'The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters'. The documentary followed Steve Weibe in his attempt to dethrone Billy Mitchell (super douche canoe) as the 'King Of Donkey Kong'. Sitting uncomfortably hunched over for hours in front of the boxy arcade machines, controversy brews as the two competitors battle for classic video game supremacy!



On February 27, 2010, a new 'King Of Kong' was crowned! And it's not Steve Weibe or Billy Mitchell! New York plastic surgeon Hank Chien has demolished the old record by 11,500 points and has reached video game supremacy with a total of 1,061,700 points!


If you haven't seen 'The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters', I highly recommend the documentary.
