Amazon.com essential video:
Arnold Schwarzenegger works the crowds, plots strategies for defeating multiple opponents, shares his parents' values with the press, and inspires legions of admirers with his resolute optimism about the future. And all of this long before he decided to run for governor of California, in 1977's hit documentary, Pumping Iron. Larger than life, though not necessarily larger than his rivals for the Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia bodybuilding titles (especially a young Lou Ferrigno, hot on Arnold's competitive trail but much less interesting), Schwarzenegger still comes across, at age 28, as a consummate politician, smart, likable, and crafty about exploiting others' psychological weaknesses. The film still feels redundant (there's only so much beefcake the human eye will tolerate), but the emotional dramas--the unrewarded hard work, the unanswered hopes--are compelling. Complete with a revealing 2003 interview with Schwarzenegger and a reunion of the film's bodybuilders and director. --Tom Keogh

rinse and repeat . this brilliant british activist and bodybuilder affected an austrian accent for the entirety of this fascinating after school special about gettin' buff . subsequently he embarked on a couple of "GONAD THE BARBARIAN" feature films before joining the superb team of hosts (FRAN TARKENTON , MARJOE GORTNER and ED McMAHON) on the scrappy and long running "THOSE REAL , AMAZING AND INCREDIBLE HUMAN ANIMALS" television hour . then he simply vanished *. currently residing in the (where ...

It's not until you take a look at contemporary bodybuilders, and what passes for 'gyms' these days, that you will really appreciate the big guys from the 1970's and their culture. Lou Ferrigno looks awesome, but the true star is Arnold. Whether he took steroids or not, growth hormone does not give you proportion, symmetry, height and the natural propensity to build big muscles. So if you want to study a gifted, inspirational athlete, buy this DVD and watch it before going to the gym.

I purchased for my husband who was seriously into weightlifting some years ago. I'm not sure if he's looked at it, I think he said he remembered seeing it when it first came out in the VHS tape format. I plan on looking at it sometime in the future and I decided to purchase it because from time to time, I heard references about it in various media arenas and more recently I was looking at my husband's muscle mag and there was an article about both guys where reference again was made about them ...

Long before classics like Predator, Commando, & Total Recall Arnold was simply known as the funny sounding 5 time Mr. Olympia champion/ ultimate meat stick. Pumping Iron is a documentary about the world of competitive weightlifting as Arnold takes on the Incredible Hulk in a protein laden feats of strength like no other. Being bizarre and hilarious all at once Sid watched in amazement at the homo-erotic battle of muscles. There were numerous times you felt as if Arnold's competition was going to ... Read More

I remember this movie coming out back in the mid 70's. My dad was into pumping iron back then, and I remember him letting me do a little. I was 10 turning 11 during the time this movie was filmed. I laugh when I look at the weight machines/equipment that was in the gyms back then. They seem to primitive and clunky compared to the weights and machines that we use today....I saw Pumping Iron on tv a little while back, and loved it. Seeing Arnold, Mark Katz, Franco Columbo and the other guys in that ... Read More
