Here is a brief overview of the life of Count Dante, told in the context of this filmmaker’s documentary about the man.

Webb imagines the film will reflect (Count Dante’s) era as much as the man himself. “It’s the times,” Webb says. “His story embodies every kind of macho popular culture bull crap. It’s got discos and Rush Street and pet lions. . . . You can’t write shit this good.”

I wholeheartedly agree. Disco, a pet lion, a hair salon, fine foxes, ludicrous karate master claims and good old fashioned bare-kuckle fights at the blood-and-guts tournaments of the 60s and 70s . . . this story has it all.

One caveat, however; if you say ‘bull crap,’ why go on to say ’shit’ in the next sentance? Isn’t that like calling someone a ‘gol-durned motherfucker’? It’s like if Roy Williams had Tourette’s Syndrome.
