You Cannot Kill David Arquette

source: You Cannot Kill David Arquette

I was a wrestling fan as a kid and i watched how after David got the wcw championship the company started falling off really fast and how a lot of fans blamed David me it blamed Vice Russo & Eric Bishop!! i heard about this documentary on a Stevo Podcast had me very interested and i wasnt disappointed at all, always had liked david he was a pretty fun dude who looked like he was just trying to have fun! really enjoyed how great this documentary is highly recommend

Didn't know what to expect, but this blew me away. Can't believe how gutsy this guy is - he chose to throw himself back into the ring, over and over again, even after getting smashed and almost killed. And he's really good at wrestling, too - even though he's over 45, a heart attack and alcohol. I also have a new respect for wrestling and wrestlers. This is actually a really tough couples sport, requiring strength, guts stamina, athletic and acting skills, practice, planning, and a trust between rivals (and not be a total savage, crazy, a-hole, like two of David's opponents). Great movie, hard to watch at times, but definitely worth it.

It's no secret that Wrestling isn't real . It's staged entertainment masquerading as sport and I have to say I used to enjoy it when my kids were younger. We even went to watch WWE live a couple of times. The fans take it extremely seriously and the name David Arquette is mud due to the fact that he won a world title , years ago , undeservedly in their eyes. This follows Arquette in his comeback to wresting and I have to say , like the wrestling back in the day , I really enjoyed it. It took me a while to figure out if this was a mockumentary or was it real ? At first I thought it was as fake as the sport , but as the more it went on and the more fitter he got , I began to realise this was actually real. There are to wresting matches that are highlight of the film . The first was a backyard fight where he was totally unprepared and the second one was a brutal , nasty fight where he is stabbed in the neck with a lighting tube . Great for the documentary but with blood gushing out of his neck , he really could have died . As entertaining documentaries go , this is right up there . Thoroughly enjoyable and eye opening to what goes on in the amateur wrestling scene .

I've never had any hate for David and it seems obscured that anyone would - all because he was given the WCW title back in the day? Come on, wrestling is as much about showbiz and entertainment as it is about the hard knocks. Stories are all part of the business and the fact people still talk about the him winning the title 20 years on goes to show that it had the intended result - exposure to the masses. It's only keyboard warriors and jealousy that fuel any animosity. Now on to the show. In my opinion it was entertaining, but I felt it was about chasing acceptance and proving a point - one that to me didn't need proving, but to David it seemed vitally important, which I can understand. David has a big set of balls! That's for sure! And I hope he proved to himself what he's capable of, and I also hope the wrestling community appreciates his journey - a journey that most people wouldn't have the guts to travel. Wrestling is a hard way of life - more dangerous than boxing and MMA in my opinion, and the guys and girls that do it don't get anywhere near enough respect for their athletic abilities and physical and mental toughness. I hope David found some solace in the making of this documentary and can move forward and enjoy life with his family. Point proven and respect certainly earned, my friend!

Arquette is a likeable, interesting character. He comes across as very eccentric and sensitive and at times you feel you're watching a mid-life crisis play out. The story is also full of fun and humour. Plenty of wrestling legends make appearances and although some sequences feel contrived you can forgive them, as when the lines between performance and reality are blurred often the most memorable moments in wrestling occur-see the infamous Montreal screwjob for example. Arquette creates quite a few memorable moments of his own, from the comical and heartfelt to the outright disturbing. I recommend sticking around for the outtakes during the end credits.

Good doc but its clear this dudes jacked up, and the heart stints seal it. Dudes a huge fan but never knew to goto a school for it? Theres schools and trainers all over the world. Its a sad show that this guys fckd up and probably gonna kill himself. Trying after a dream that was likely unobtainble in what woulda been his "prime" 30 years ago. The whole things depressing

This may be the most completely off the charts nuts thing I've ever seen. Arquette is genuine in his love for wrestling and to make amends for what many feel is a two decade old slap in the face. As a documentary, it is insightful, thought provoking and flat out entertaining. Others have said David has mental problems. Maybe, but I think he is just very eccentric. He also has a big heart , and that comes through strong here.

I personally had and still have a fond love for wrestling. Back in 2010 the business was on it's peak, it came down a little bit, but there's a new wave going around. I think it's a story about Arquette proving the world wrong, he proved if you put your mind to it you can do it, even with the little blocks you have on the road. He pretty much sealed people mouths when it came to his WCW critics. I think there are a decent amount of very well done cinematography shots in here and also very well edited. I didn't know Luke Perry had a son in professional wrestling, in which he is doing pretty good from what i've been following, but i immediately recognized him. I loved the memorial they had at the end. If you want to see familiar faces and also had/have a niche for the sport then i'd recommend watching it.

David Arquette, at one point one of Hollywood's most promising young actors, became the World Championship Wrestling Heavyweight Champion in the year 2000! Considered by many wrestling fans as the worst moment in professional wrestling history, Arquette not only was laughed out of the wrestling world, he lost all credibility with Hollywood. So why does he want to go back 18 years later? This documentary traces Arquette's quixotic quest for redemption, respect, and a wrestling gimmick. Putting his career, marriage and even his life on the line, Arquette goes to extreme, hardcore measures to finally be accepted in the wrestling world. Even if you're not at all familiar with wrestling, or a B-List actor that come from an artistic, talented family of actors, you'll be fascinated by the insane questionable decisions Arquette makes in order to fulfill his dreams. Yet, you might wind up rooting for him. Often funny, quirky, and at times horrifically violent, "You Cannot Kill David Arquette" will leave you inspired. I mean how can you not cheer for a middle aged has-been actor who has barely survived a heart attack just a year prior to filming this documentary? Cheer at his child-like glee at entering the wrestling ring! Gasp in horror as he nearly bleeds out from a severed Carotid Artery! Feel your heartstrings plucked as El Maldito honorably gifts his luchador mask to David! Cry as David is shunned at WrestleCon by the wrestling fans, often considered to be the most thoughtful, passionate, and critical thinkers of all the fandoms!
