Check out the trailer for the short documentary “Doctor Kong: Cutting Up the Competition.” It follows New York plastic surgeon Hank Chien’s year-long journey as he challenges the Donkey Kong world record. Dr. Chien’s successful crowning as 2010 champion makes the Guinness Book of Records amid media and fan explosion. The classic gaming world scores high points with this affectionate homage. Last Friday, he set a new record of 1,090,400 points on the arcade version of Donkey Kong by beating his previous world record mark of 1,068,000. Look for the short at a film festival near you.
