Product Description
From Amazon.com
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

Great DVD,
By
This review is from: Pumping Iron: The 25th Anniversary (DVD)
This is something I've been wanting to buy for my collection for awhile. I always remember what a big deal Arnold was at this time. I got it for a great price and the extra features are just as fascinating - if not more - than the movie itself. If you are an Arnie fan or a bodybuilder enthusiast, this is a great DVD to have.

Amazing Movie. Amazing Man.,

This review is from: Pumping Iron: The 25th Anniversary (DVD)
Say what you will about Arnold politically, he is an amazing man. He has such dedication. This is a man that has, since this movie, re-invented himself twice. This is THE movie that showcases this amazing individual. He is clearly completely tireless and relentless. He works harder than anyone else.
