A man rides a bicycle on one wheel using no hands for over ten years. The Self proclaimed "No Hand King" of Raleigh, North Carolina shares his past struggles and the unflinching passion to becoming the best in the world at what he does. In the film, Rodney takes on a 50 mile stretch of the Outer Banks of North Carolina to claim the title and record holder of the longest no-handed wheelie. The film's message is potent and breaks down social borders as his story can be related to by all people of all ages and ethnicities.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
