Upon coming to the statue of Joseph Guillotin, the wax museum tour guide states that Guillotin was the first man to die in the device that bears his name. This is not true. Guillotin died of an infection twenty years after France's Reign of Terror.

The Wrestling's the best part

Wow... is this movie bad.

Words cannot describe how horribly cheesy, campy and utterly boring this movie is.

The plot is terrible, and the acting is sub-par (at best!)

The best thing about this entire movie is the wrestling scenes. Being a huge wrestling fan myself, I was very entertained by the wrestling scenes. However, the lack of commentary, and the fact that he went to wrestle at the weirdest times, made them a little lacking.

The only reason I even own this movie is for my knack for collecting wrestling memorabilia.

So, unless you are a huge wrestling fan (and I mean HUGE) I would not recommend this atrocity to the cinematic arts.
