“If you’re part of the joke, it’s not as painful as being the joke” – David Arquette.
I was always a guy who didn’t quite understand the hate that David Arquette received when he became the WCW World Champion back in 2000. He didn’t book the win, he wasn’t writing the shows, he got paid to do a job with a company, and he did that job. I never hated him for that. It was perhaps a weird booking decision, sure… but wrestling is weird. Wrestling is silly. The hatred was always unnecessary.
You Cannot Kill David Arquette is a documentary that takes a look at the life, career and passions of the man himself. It focuses mainly on his personal wish to redeem himself by learning how to wrestle and become part of the wrestling business,...

If you had of told me a week ago that a documentary about Deputy Dewey from the Scream movies was something I needed in my life right now, I would of called you a damn fool. I you had told me that a documentary about that actor who tried to be a wrestler for five minutes would take me on a rollercoaster of emotions – and I mean the full spectrum of human feeling: the highs, the lows and everything in between – well again I would of scoffed at you.

You Cannot Kill David Arquette Deliver’s A Body Slam From The Heart An Interview With The Director’s
Back in 2000, David Arquette actor turned wrestler turned out to be the biggest heal in the hearts of wrestling fans when he won the World Heavyweight Championship in WCW. Arquette pinned Eric Bischoff in what many fans considered one of the dyer moments of the already dying wrestling promotion that was WCW. You Cannot Kill David Arquette is a film directed by David Darg and Price James that takes a look at Arquette and the ups and downs that the actor has faced since the day’s Arquette became a heel in the eyes of wrestling fan’s and the jokester of Hollywood. The film is funny, and entertaining, and I dear say heartfelt in Arquette’s persistence to get back in the ring and be taken seriously as a professional wrestler. We had the awesome opportunity to interview the directors of the film and get an insight into the film.

Directors David Darg and Price James were brought on to document David Arquette's return to the wrestling ring in You Cannot Kill David Arquette, but they wanted to focus on his emotional journey as he was in a dark place when they met him. The filmmakers discuss the negative reaction he received from fans and wrestlers, and how training with Mexican luchadores turned his wrestling career around. ...

Can you trust a documentary that’s set in the world of professional wrestling, where the action is scripted and the storylines are phony?
Can you believe what you see in a nonfiction film about an actor who has always to some degree approached his career like an extended piece of performance art?
And if you don’t trust it and you can’t believe it, can you still be entertained and maybe even touched by “You Cannot Kill David Arquette?”
I’d say the answers to those questions are no, no and hell, yeah.

David Arquette is known for a few things. He’s best recognized as Deputy Dewey Riley in the Scream franchise of films, of course. However, he’s also famous, or perhaps infamous, for being an actor who cameoed for a time in World Championship Wrestling (better known as WCW). Not only did he get in the ring, but a storyline had him win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, something that wrestling fans hated with a vicious passion. Not only did this halt whatever wrestling career the passionate fan of the sport had, it torpedoed his ascent in Hollywood, as well. The new documentary You Cannot Kill David Arquette not just tackles this bit of his history, but his recent decision to try and wrestle again, all in an effort to get some measure of respect. If it sounds silly, it’s actually surprisingly empathetic and emotional. The movie is a documentary about,...

In 2000, David Arquette, coming off “Never Been Kissed” and the third “Scream” film, co-starred in a comedy called “Ready to Rumble,” which attempted to satirize the hyperbolic freak show of professional wrestling. To promote the movie, Arquette got woven into World Championship Wrestling storylines, mostly as a comic foil — after all, he wasn’t a real wrestler. But a few weeks into the film’s release, in a setup bogus enough to shame Andy Kaufman, it was arranged that Arquette would win a fight to become the WCW Heavyweight Champion. Which he did (his reign lasted all of 12 days).
This was a stunt so outlandish that wrestling fans considered it a bridge of fakery too far. Some said that Arquette’s championship had ruined the sport. So even though Arquette, a wrestling aficionado from way back, was just riding the cross-promotional PR train and doing what he’d been told,...

Before I start this review, I feel like I should go ahead and just admit a few things. One, I am a ridiculously huge fan of David Arquette and his work, which includes his performances in the Scream series to Ready to Rumble to his directorial effort on The Tripper and everything in between. And two, I’m one of the few people out there who was actually excited when he was working in WCW. With that in mind, I was already totally and completely on board for You Cannot Kill David Arquette before I even saw a single minute of footage. But now that I have had the opportunity to check out this all-encompassing project from directors David Darg and Price James, You Cannot Kill David Arquette quickly has become not only my favorite documentary of 2020, but one of my favorite films, regardless of category, of the year as well.
