The L.A. Riot Spectacular (2005)

Member Rating:

The controversial satire The LA Riot Spectacular plays for mordent laughs the events that consumed L.A. in 1992, after the police officers on trial for beating motorist Rodney King were found innocent. The city was engulfed by a massive riot, but the film plays these moments for laughs. In addition to recreating some of the images seen on television, the film skewers a variety of figures including the police, the media, and the citizens of the city. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

I expected more from this movie and would have liked it more if it have been more realistic raather than the approach it took. After living in L.A. at this time, it made a major impact on me.
