Great product
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2002
This documentary really sheds light on a bunch of things that I'm sure that makes Mr. McMahon feel very uncomfortable. Who should we believe? Well, that really depends on you, the viewer. I really think this is an interesting side of the WWF (now the WWE) that very few have ever seen.
The movie is about the life and career of a very well known and famous wrestler, Bret Hart. It's about his life and his struggles with the WWF. And with Mr. McMahon, of course. Though wrestling is scripted, THIS is not. You also get to see the lighter side of Bret. The family side. You also see the toll his career takes on them.
I was really in awe as I watched "Hitman Hart: Wrestling with Shadows." A very interesting documentary about the dark side of wrestling and the lives it can make....or destroy. Highly recommend this. Even if you don't like wrestling, you still might find this interesting.
In the end, Vince says "Bret screwed Bret." After seeing this, I'm not too sure about that. Don't know what to think. I really do enjoy the WWF, but it's hard to know for sure who was right. This documentary does open you mind to ideas and theories. In the end, it's really YOU who decides is telling the truth.

I had already watched the wrestling with shadows in its entirety on A & E when it aired back in 1998
so I knew what to expect I say its a must see for any wrestling fan whether your a fan of the Harts or not.
Basically this dvd shows Bret hart in his last days with then wwf before he signed with wcw. His feud with HBK Shawn Michaels is legendary, but somewhere down the line between Shawn "loosing his smile" and quitting wwf before ever losing to Bret and Vince McMahon wanting to keep Bret and give the keys to Shawn, leads to the biggest screwjob in wrestling history the infamous "Montreal Screwjob".
This Dvd includes a special Life and Death of Bret Hart's younger Brother Owen Hart, and a Stunt that went horribly wrong on a sad Sunday night in Kansas.
Owen is one of the best in ring performers of our time and this short tribute will support my claim.
included are interviews with Bret and widow of Owen also the films creator.
Hall of Fame for the King OF Harts wwe its the least you could do for a man who gave his all.
Buy this you ll be glad you did.

i have watched this documentary over and over it never gets old. bret hart was my favorite wrestler growing up and to see his career in the wwf end like it did was truly heartbreaking. wrestling with shadows is a movie about what goes on behind the curtain,how match outcomes are determined etc.. its a story of loyalty and betrayal. a must have for any wrestling fan. i also enjoyed the bonus dvd the life and death of owen hart it takes you through his whole career leading up to the circumstances surrounding his untimely death in 1999.it was shorter than bret's but i still enjoyed it.

This DVD is a must get for any Wrestling fan collector!
I give it 5 stars because it pretty much shows the truth about the battle with Vince McMahon and Bret Hart.
The Owen Hart DVD was great! It was sad when his wife started talking about the last time she saw/talked to him.
But Yeah it talked about the life of the Harts and much more!
I really recommend getting this DVD for any wrestling fan!

I am a fan of Bret Hart and really enjoyed this dvd,and am eager to see the new one
coming out as well. This showed alot of what goes on that the fans do not see behind
the scenes.As the guys say in the back...
It is worth the money and was happy to add it to my movie collection.
I feel for the family that they lost Owen at such a young age.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2013
Having already seen 'Wrestling with Shadows', i was tempted on buying this anniversary edition because of the added documentary 'The Life and Death of Owen Hart'.
Bret Hart was and still is my hero. His rivalry with brother Owen in 1994 is still, by far, the most intimate story line the W.W.E has ever done. In different ways, both Hart brothers stirred up emotions of excitement, tension and joy at their peak. Given the subject matter in both documentaries, these two events still bare a scar on my love for wrestling.
'Wrestling with Shadows' was filmed during the Summer/Autumn of 1997. With Bret being the focus, it's centered around his relationship with his Dad, his then boss the owner of W.W.E Vince Mcmahon and the growing tension in business surrounding Bret's lucrative long term contract with the W.W.E and being tempted away towards the W.C.W for a lot more money.
What makes the documentary work and succeed is how it observes the changing attitude of the American fans from Bret's viewpoint, how Vince allows the attitude to dictate to him what style of show to present. All the while, Bret feels the urge to stay loyal to what the Hitman character would be and how he would react.
On the surface, it is about men, power, money, relationships. All at the same time playing into Shakespearean themes which does the film no harm. Especially, when it comes to the events that take place at the end of the documentary. November 9th, 1997 in Montreal is a day that will stay long in my memory. That event wraps all the themes together as if it were written for the documentary. The truth was stranger than fiction.
'The Life and Death of Owen Hart' is a somewhat tag team partner in this release. Filmed several months after Owens death in 1999, the film looks through Owens life with his wife Martha, rightfully, at the centre of the documentary. Only 50 minutes long, it still covers over his life fairly well and neat.
However, every time the documentary looks over the events on that day back in May 1999 near the end, it still gets a lump in my throat imagining what happened to Owen walking along the high catwalk and being placed out hanging above the arena.
If you are a fan of wrestling and have not seen these and would like a strong look at the W.W.E in the late 90's, i cannot suggest any better D.V.D set to buy but this.
Also included is a newly filmed interview with Bret Hart and Director Paul Jay giving their reflections on 'Wrestling With Shadows' 10 years on'.
A well presented Anniversary edition D.V.D.

brilliant and heartfelt - a true star until the end
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 1, 2007
i was a huge WWF fan in the late eighties and early ninties and bret hart was my favourite from the beginning. i stopped watching wrestling in 1995 as i grew out of it and recently decided to re-kindle my youth and firstly needed to find out what happended to my favourite. i'd heard rumours that bret was double-crossed but when i watched this i was left furious that he could be treated like that by Vince who had basically hung him out to dry and destroyed his reputation in the process. the dvd is very heartfelt and gives you a brilliant insight into brets life, growing up with a legend of a father and growing in the WWF. it also shows his home life and that he appears to have a supportive wife who later divorced him after the survivor series incident, but does show what a great dad he is and how his family mean a lot. the dvd covers the tension leading up to that fateful servivor series and how bret was not feeling happy, you can feel his emotion, and then feel his anger once the double cross has happened and i'm so pleased he punched vince, which was the least he deserved. all in all a great dvd, its just a shame it had to end on such a bitter note.
