Well, when you watch
Hooligans it's mostly made up of a mixture of a monotonone, uninformative and idiotic voiceover that promotes the idea of hooliganism and their 'exploits', set to endless media and CCTV footage (often poor-quality) - a mixture of very wide-angle shots of people storming football pitches and fighting as well as closer footage of people fighting in the stands and other places around the world (the aftermath of such events is almost never seen) set to a painfully repetitive and dull variety of 'techno' tunes along with a few short TV interviews taken at the time with police and law enforcement along with approving 'vox-pops' from hooligans themselves After about ten minutes the 'documentary' became so mindless and repetitive (the 'music' was killing me) that I had to switch off.
Hooligans, like
Mushroom Growing Made Easy and others is easily available to view on YouTube should one so wish.
