Short description
Director James Toback takes an unflinching, uncompromising look at the life of Mike Tyson--almost solely from the perspective of the man himself. TYSON alternates between the controversial boxer addressing the camera and shots of the champion's fights to create an arresting picture of the man.
What's left behind the scenes
- To gauge the film's effect on the audience, James Toback turned to a demographic with little to no interest in boxing – elderly white women. He asked them to watch the entire film. Anyone who decided to leave within 5 minutes of the start would receive $100. If they stayed past 5 minutes, they would watch the film to the end and give their honest opinion. The director later recounted that no one left within the first 5 minutes, and many were in tears by the end.
- The film was shown at the Cannes Film Festival. The audience gave it a 10-minute standing ovation at the end of the screening.
