Product Details
Behind-the-scenes bodybuilding activity is the theme of this semi-documentary on World Bodybuilding competition. When the film was first released, it became a surprisingly huge box office success, and helped to spawn the career of future Hollywood action superstar--and six-time Mr. Olympia--Arnold Schwarzenegger. Also features notable figures such as Lou Ferrigno, Franco Columbu, and Mike Katz.

Professional Reviews
: (01/19/1977, p.C20, Richard Eder): "...Interesting....[Schwarzenegger] is a witty [subject]...", (11/14/2003, p.6E, Mike Clark): "Arnold Schwarzenegger had a magnetic screen presence from the beginning."
Quotes from the Movie
: "The good bodybuilders have the same mind...that a sculptor has. If you analyze it, you look in the mirror and you say, okay, I need a bit more deltoids...so that the proportion's right, and...you exercise and put those deltoids on, whereas an artist would just slap on some clay on each side."--Arnold Schwarzenegger

"Boy, that's fantastic. Fantastic. Imagine how he must feel. Incredible."--Bodybuilder Mike Katz, learning that his rival has won the Mr. Universe competition

"I always felt my place was in America, and when I was ten years old I only dreamed of coming to America and being the greatest and being different from anybody else."--Schwarzenegger

"You know Louis, you look like something Michelangelo carved out."--Matty Ferrigno to his son

"Ive thrown up many times working out, but it's all worth it."--Schwarzenegger
