As of today (10/16/13), 10 people have taped max-outs of NES Tetris game. 2 more have taken pictures.
Director Adam Cornelius met star/co-producer Robin Mihara at a retro gaming festival (PRGE) where the idea for Ecstasy of Order was born.
The van that Robin drives in the film is actually owned by director Adam Cornelius and is named "Moses".
One year after the filmed contest, "bubble boy" Alex Kerr shocked the world to finish in second place in the CTWC 2011. Quite the accomplishment for a young man who didn't even play NES Tetris seriously before the shooting of the film.
At the 5:00 mark of the film, Koi Morris can be seen standing next to Ben Mullen at a tournament. Koi appears in Special When Lit, a documentary about pinball.
