Netflix has released a new documentary about 1980s icon Mr. T — but the man at the center of the story isn’t exactly giving it his stamp of approval.

Untold Mr. T: I Pity the Fool premiered on Netflix on September 8, taking viewers back before the mohawk, gold chains and Hollywood fame to the life of Laurence Tureaud, the man who would become one of the most recognizable personalities of the 1980s.

Long before The A-Team, Mr. T was working as a bouncer and bodyguard in Chicago. His imposing look and reputation eventually landed him on the NBC competition series Games People Play, where he competed in an “America’s Toughest Bouncer” competition.

That’s where his path to Hollywood took a major turn.

Sylvester Stallone saw Mr. T on television and brought him in for Rocky III. Mr. T was cast as Clubber Lang, the ferocious challenger who takes on Rocky Balboa in the 1982 film.

The role also gave audiences a phrase that would follow Mr. T for the rest of his career. When Clubber Lang is asked if he hates Rocky, he replies, “No, I don’t hate Balboa. I pity the fool.”

A year later, Mr. T became B.A. Baracus on NBC’s The A-Team. The series premiered in 1983 and turned him into a television icon, cementing the mohawk, gold chains and tough-guy persona that became a defining part of 1980s pop culture.

His fame extended beyond movies and television. Mr. T also crossed into professional wrestling, famously teaming with Hulk Hogan against Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff in the main event of the first WrestleMania in 1985.

More than four decades later, Netflix is revisiting the man behind that larger-than-life image in Untold Mr. T: I Pity the Fool.

But Mr. T has made it very clear that he isn’t happy with the finished product.

Speaking to The Guardian before the documentary’s release, Mr. T said:

“It’s garbage. You build me up, then you try to punk me out.”

Mr. T said the documentary left out important parts of his story while putting too much emphasis on aspects of his tough-guy image.

One of his complaints involved the treatment of his Christian faith. Mr. T said his pastor was interviewed extensively for the project but appeared for only about 30 seconds in the finished documentary.

He also questioned why more wasn’t included about other parts of his life, including his Army service and charitable work, particularly his involvement with Make-A-Wish children.

Another point of contention was the inclusion of his former agent Peter Young. Mr. T told The Guardian that the two had fallen out years ago and that he had specifically told director Scott Weintrob that he didn’t want Young involved in the documentary.

According to Mr. T, he wasn’t shown the finished film until roughly a month before its release.

The disagreement adds another layer to a documentary intended to show viewers the person behind one of entertainment’s most recognizable characters.

From a Chicago bouncer appearing in a televised competition to facing Sylvester Stallone in Rocky III, starring in The A-Team and becoming part of the inaugural WrestleMania, Mr. T built a career and an image that remain instantly recognizable more than 40 years later.

And judging by his reaction to the new documentary, he remains just as willing to speak his mind.

Untold Mr. T: I Pity the Fool is streaming now on Netflix.
