This feels like an honest look at Evel. I've had him on a pedestal, this film have me a more complete view of the man behind the stunts. Learning about how he prepared for his jumps was insane. Spoiler alert, he didn't prepare. Great documentary!

A doc that finally tells the story in a factual unbiased manner by the people who were actually there. Thoroughly enjoyable. Lots of great footage. Highly recommended.

Bart Williams just rated a FILM based on the cost to watch it. Brilliance is all around us. Great doc by the way
