Summary: Crowd reactions alone worth the money.
Review: This is a hilarious history of Andy Kaufman's career as a wrestler. The reactions of the people in the audience alone are worth the price of the video. This was shown a while ago on Comedy Central, but this tapes is a longer version. A must for Andy Kaufman fans. Watch him explain soap to wrestling fans!

Summary: "I'm not from 'Nashville, Tennisse', Mr Lawler...
Review: This is the perfect movie for a comedy fan, wrestling fan, Andy Kauffman fan, Jerry Lawler fan, or even a "Taxi" fan! This video documents Kauffman's short-lived wrestling career, starting with the "Inter-gender championship". This is a great video.

Summary: An entertaining look at the wrestling of Andy Kaufman
Review: This short film is a "mock-umentary" of sorts, as the celebrities and subjects interviewed seem to speak on film with a wink. What is said can be taken with a grain of salt, thought the history and emotions are true for the most part. The bizarre period of perfomer Andy Kaufman's life in which he took to the profession of wrestling is the focus of this film. A strange, sometimes dark and troubling period of his life is recreated through archive clips of his wrestling and the trouble created by it, combined with interviews give a good idea of what Andy Kaufman was. Watched in combination with the NBC special "A Comedy Tribute to Andy Kaufman" (airing now on Comedy Central) a complete view of this complex man can be learned. END

Summary: Yes, Kaufman was a comedic genius.
Review: This video is simply one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Andy Kaufman was a truly original comedian (though he hated being labeled a comedian). I wish we had more like him today, instead of all the talentless comics with their packaged, scripted routines that anyone who can memorize a script or read a cue card can pull off (can you say Jay Leno?). By the way, I simply don't understand how any person of reasonable intelligence could watch this video and believe that the feud between Kaufman and Jerry Lawler was "real." While it is true that the two cooked up some pretty realistic-looking happenings in the course of the saga (e.g., Andy lying in a hospital bed after Lawler's administering a piledriver, and Lawler's giving Andy a very real slap on the infamous Letterman episode), it is obvious that the whole thing was just a very carefully planned gag. The events that occurred after the Letterman episode show that there was no true animosity between Kaufman and Lawler. The "feud" lasted for quite a long time after the Letterman episode. Andy had several other wrestling matches with Lawler, in which his antics got progressively sillier, and he made a guest appearance on "The Jerry Lawler Show" in which he made silly threats to sue Lawler for defamation. Most conclusively, Jerry Lawler appears as himself in the biographical movie of Kaufman's life, "Man on the Moon." The movie reveals that the whole thing was a joke. It's a shame that so many people just did not appreciate Andy's humor. But, I don't think Andy minded a bit.

Summary: He certainly did have the brains!
Review: While we gaze in glory upon the USA Network and even UPN as today's pro wrestling heroes parade around in their oiled-down, eyebrow raising glory, it's hard to believe that nearly two decades ago one of the biggest flaps in the sport was an introverted Jewish boy from Great Neck, Long Island. What's harder to believe is that, once again, we were the joke. While Andy's put-ons and antics were well known from the beginning of his career, even the seasoned comedy pros and those closest to him thought Andy had pretty much lost it by the time he climbed into the ring with Jerry Lawler. When you watch this DVD, you will be amazed as even Robin Williams proffers that perhaps Andy had finally slipped that thin, vague line he seemed to tread. This is a well produced DVD. The songs, cheesy as they may be, can be almost catchy at times. The interviews are first class, and the production, while obviously low-budget, is surprisingly well done. On the bonus side, you also get "My Breakfast With Blassie," which you really must see to believe. This DVD is only for those who hold Andy in a special place in their hearts, not those whith only scant familiarity. If you're new to Andy, buy "Man on the Moon" and couple it with Bob Zmuda's book. If Andy has already found a niche in your heart, by all means, order this today.
