 Sympathy for the Outlaw -A must see for all! September 10, 2008
*D**57Mme* *Ure..** (Seattle, WA USA)
I used to work in a DNA Lab. My supervisor studied genetics in West Virginia and stumbled across this documentary in college. She let me borrow the DVD and I have never laughed so hard. According to my boyfriend it is extremely accurate about how it depicts the rural West Virginian poverty.
Only drawback: No subtitles! I couldn't understand a lot of the dialogue, as the Appalacian Accent is so thick. I know that they are speaking English, but I couldn't understand a lot of it! Solution: Watch it with my boyfriend!! (he's from Fayette County right next to Boone County!) I had to pause it so he could translate. (His Mother is called "The Miracle Woman.")
An interesting sport I was not aware of before: "Muddin.'" This sport is the activity of drinking beer and driving your car and/or dirt bike all up in the mud. The person who gets the most mud on his/her car/bike gets "braggin rights."
Another bad thing -I got the dancing outlaw overnight shipping, and there is a scratch on it, making "Jesco goes to Hollywood" impossible to watch. Oh well. I've seen it before. Tom Arnold is a real jerk. -M. R. ;)

Jesco is the real deal. West Virginia's finest. I love this movie and have had to buy it four times because I loan it to friends and never get it back. This is a classic!

Now this is more like it! I first saw this documentary on VHS in a copy making the rounds with my friends in West Virginia.
Just so you don't think that all of West Virginia, the good folks I know in northern West Virginia love this film and shrug while saying, "Well, it is Boone County we're talking about...." (My point is: no matter where you go, someone will find someplace else to goof on...unless it's Boone County).
In lesser hands, this film could've been just a freak show slapped together, but I found it as earnest and sympathetic as it was outrageous and hilarious. I don't know if it's because my family originally came from the hills but I couldn't help but like Jesco (although the evil Jesco was spooky) and the Elvis personality (might be a regional thing when it comes to Elvis).
An essential addition to Appalachian culture. And funny too.
The most AWESOME DVD! January 7, 2008

Jesco has been a part of our family get togethers for years on an old VHS tape. This year we have upgraded to DVD and I couldnt be more pleased! This is a great story and Jesco is the most interesting fellow! Our family watches this together and laughs like we have never seen it before! Its a great tradition and a great DVD!
