Excellent film for those wanting to know more about Pistol Pete
This film is one of the few & best movies made to portray any type of sporting legend! The Pistol follows the dreams, struggles & inspirations of a young Pete Maravich growing up to eventually become the master showman and basketball legend we all know him by today. As a kid myself (at the time i first saw this film) living in Australia who loved and played a lot of basketball, i was totally unaware that Pete Maravich even existed. After watching the film with all its captivating drills and challenges between Pete and his father, i was not only glad to have been introduced to Pete’s story, but i will never want to forget it. With the films dazzling basketball scenes of a young pistol (played by Adam Guier) out-training and out-performing everyone in the basketball community, this movie carries a simple and memorable message of following ones dreams with the guidance of those closest to you. As a well travelled basketball player in Australia, i was surprised that many of the country’s young and elite talents have not heard of Pete Maravich. This is unfortunate, as his real life story portrayed in this film is really inspirational and shows the appreciation Pete played in the history and shaping of todays game – worldwide. Perhaps a little conversation as well as some recommended viewing of the released DVD on my part will hopefully shed some light on the Pistol Pete story! or at least here downunder. I definitely recommend this film to anyone who has an interest in basketball and everyone else due to its family orientation as well. 10 OUT OF 10

Wow! Being a avid movie watcher means a person gets to see more than his share of bad movies. This movie is among the worst! i am not sure how this movie gets a 7 rating? It must be the God cabal as i am seeing lots of comments stating this is a christian movie although there is not a word about god or religion in this movie. it’s more like Archie and the gang learn to play basketball! The cartoon of sports movies! Wooden acting and a mix of vintage and modern music that dates almost as badly as the music from Hoosiers! Outdated and racist stereotypes abound and some of the poorest sports choreography ever documented. Avoid at all costs.
