I'm sure you already know about this, but I'm putting it here just in case.
 
That film came across more experimental than documentary to me. I'm fairly certain it was shot on 16mm, probably a student film--maybe NYU or Columbia student--came off a bit schizophrenic as a story. I'd say it was more-or-less a core sample of night life in a particular place and time.

The arcade had an incredible mix of games--Ice Cold Beer, Mr. Do!, Dragon's Lair, Duck Hunt, etc. I love to see that kind of variety together.

The V.O. in the arcade sounded like Mike Tyson, who was awesome to watch BTW, BITD.
