Product Description
The late "Pistol" Pete Maravich made basketball history as the most spectacular college scorer ever, and he's still inspiring kids through this movie based on his first season of high school varsity basketball (which he played when he was in eighth grade). This film explores the supportive father-son relationship that pushed him to the heights of achievement and fame (Dad was a former pro and Clemson University coach) and includes a story line on the stirrings of the quest for racial equality in the late 1950s. Newcomer Adam Guier plays some fine basketball in his role as the young Maravich. Viewers won't be able to track his no-look passes any better than opponents could when the real Maravich was dishing them out. In fact, the basketball sequences in general are superior to many seen in bigger-budget films. Shot on location in Louisiana, where Maravich grew up, the film captures the moral dilemmas of its time while still keeping a positive drive, making it an excellent film to watch with the kids.
* * * There was more to Pistol Pete than basketball. His faith formed an essential part of his character and played an important role in his last years on earth. Featured in books and talk shows, Pistol Pete Maravich shared his faith openly an boldly until his untimely death in 1988. And now, you can own the all-new Inspiration Edition of The Pistol. * * *
This new version includes all the features of the standard edition plus the motivational Inside The Heart of a Champion bonus featuring a chat with the producers of 'The Pistol', Green Acres star Tom Lester and a special recounting of the last hours of Petes life as told on the TV program Life On The Edge. * * * * The all-new Inspirational Edition of The Pistol is perfect for churches, youth groups, sports camps, discussion groups and youth basketball programs.

 | THE PISTOL THE BIRTH OF A LEGEND Jan 17, 2010 |
| I LOVED WATCHING PETE MARAVICH AS A KID BUT I WISH HE HIMSELF HAD BEEN IN THE MOVIE AND SOME OF HIS FILM HIGHLIGHTS FROM COLLEGE AND THE NBA. THE MOVIE I THOUGHT WAS REALLY GOOD BUT HIS COMMENTARY WAS VERY QUIET SO KINDA HARD TO HEAR. OVERALL I THOUGHT THE MOVIE WAS WELL WORTH IT. | | | | The Pistol Apr 23, 2009 |
| DVD story was great; shipped in a timely fashion and in new condition; price was fair for an "older" video. | | |  | "A sure fire-up movie" Sep 17, 2008 |
| This movie will motivate any youth who needs to be inspired. A great family movie for young and old alike. | | | | Pistol movie Nov 29, 2007 |
| Great movie for kids who need some motivation. My daugher plays basketball and can relate with the character - plus it is a good story! | | | | Inspirational! Sep 23, 2007 |
| I saw this movie when it was first shown on public TV and it inspired me to play basketball. Now 10 or 15 years later and well its a little outdated. But, I think its still a great movie for the entire family, especially kids! | | | Write your own review about The Pistol: The Birth of a Legend [Inspirational Edition]
