Good ole Elmer Wayne Henley! Has an IQ of 1 + 25, maybe. He gave the reporters a confession on live TV, and he forgot to request an attorney. What a great loser! It’s sad how the media subliminally reinforces the idea that evil is the quickest way to enlightenment. If it wasn’t for television, most of the upwardly mobile people in this country would not even have a functional, business-vocabulary! 4.0005 of 0.01 stars.

Really enjoyed this until the final 5 mins. I don’t get this obsession with John Lennon. He was a wife beater who physically and psychologically abused his son. Warbling on about having no possessions whilst he bought property and financed a lavish lifestyle for him and his wife. Driving around in Rolls Royces and telling us he came from a working class Liverpool background when infact he was born into a middle class family. ……Rant over.

A very well done and informative documentary. Despite the subject matter, it was enjoyable.

The Mondo Cane series in the 60s and 70s and this doco spawned Traces and Faces of Death, each upping the gore and intensity right up to Mdpope in the 2010s and then others that shall remain unnameable and will probably never see the light of day unless one wants to trawl through the sewer of the dark web at their own risk. TKOA is just an intro into these docos and is quite mild in comparison to all others.
