The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters
Documentary83 min
After losing his job, Steve Wiebe turns to Donkey Kong and posts a score that threatens Billy Mitchell’s 20-year hold on the game’s top spot. The documentary follows their fight over who deserves recognition as the true champion, moving through arcades, record submissions, and the small but intense competitive scene around Twin Galaxies. As Wiebe tries to prove his claim and secure a place in the Guinness Book of World Records, Billy Mitchell’s larger-than-life status hangs over every dispute, turning a contest over a 1981 cabinet game into a pointed personal rivalry.
