Brock Over the Top Documentary
The Brock Over the Top Documentary is released today for the eye watering rental priced of $24.99.
It recently had a limited theatrical release. Would be interested in hearing the thoughts of those who have seen it. |

Was shown in some cinemas over the last few weeks, the trailer looked ok- got to love Brock in the A9X at Bathurst.
I have pre ordered a copy through Sanity for $21.99, will be available in August. Sanity only wanted a $5 deposit. |

The press release a few weeks back mentioned it is available on the likes of Apple TV and Fetch.... if you already pay for those platforms, are they expecting you to stump up another $24.95 to watch??

What else is there to learn about him?
Surely another Bev cash-grab? |

I saw it at the cinema last week. There are no new revelations but it's interesting to see input from Michelle Downes and Julie Bamford (so it's not a Bev production) as well as Bev and the kids. Also well balanced coverage of the whole Polariser deal. Splitpin's input is also interesting. It is an ABC co-production so I would expect it to turn up on free-to-air further down the track.

This doco will be shown on ABC TV in November along with some others of a sporting nature, including one on Wayne Gardner.

Watched it last night...rated 5/10...could have been soooo much better if it had spent less time chasing sensationalism and concentrated on his life and achievements...

Saw it on iView on the ABC last night.
Not much new material but a couple of things re the launch of the Director and the Polariser. Like so many people at the time, Peter's own son had a wtf moment. That whole episode looks like it almost broke John Harvey emotionally. |

Still like to know what Brocky was drinking, smoking, or inhaling to believe that polariser stuff.
But what a drive in that 1987 Bathurst, with all that financial stress, team running on an oily rag budget, emotional stress and reputation on the line. |

Anyway being the bloody skeptic I am, I asked him about Dr Eric and the polariser and Brock's response was classic: "must have been working a bit too closely with the fibreglass" with a big wink. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk |

Just as Larry would suffer at the hands of the safety car in 1990 Seto was equally unlucky in 1987. |

I got Brocky to do a double take, and reverse his parade car back, up on top of the mountain opposite our Flag Point...he looked at me giving him the thumb's up whilst he shook his head with that big grin on his face...
It was a stinking hot day, and lunchtime, and everyone knows if you want to get more oxygen, you use a paper bag...right? and it cooled my head really well... |

Kind of glad I didn't pay to watch it and waited for it to appear on the ABC.
Was good to see the Marlboro not pixelated on the cars for a change. Had some not often seen footage in it so worth the watch though. |
