Summary: Pumping Iron is a bodybuilding bible.
Review: Pumping Iron is a bodybuilding bible. The legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger shows what made him the unbeatable champion. His witty sound bites prove he is a true barbarian to be admired by warriors all around the world. If you think your tough but still haven't seen this movie you thought wrong.
Rating:
Summary: Inspirational
Review: It is a shame they stopped making this movie. I once heard that you can learn more about psychology from the interrogation scene in "The Brothers Karamozov" than you can in a year of college psychology. You can learn more about the confidence game and the urge to succeed from Arnold and from this movie than you can anywhere else. Watch it. It is not about weightlifting; it is about winning.

Summary: The bain of bodybuilding
Review: See why Arnold became a star in this movie about bodybuilding. His personality shines through as he competes for the Mr. Olympia title against his new rival Lou Ferrigno. Arnold explains how important it is push yourself to become a champion in the sport. Great inter-personal stories between competitors and great film making.

Summary: Not for girly men
Review: Extras on the DVD version of "Pumping Iron" mostly play like promos for the film and its star, Arnold Schwarzenegger, but there is an odd and compelling new element.In "Iron Insights," Gov. Schwarzenegger sits alone for the camera, reeling off a 13-minute monologue about what he did and didn't do during the making of the hit 1977 "docudrama" about a body-building competition. "Now it is important for people to know what is real" in the film, Schwarzenegger intones, not elaborating on the urgency. "Certain things were not true." Schwarzenegger smoothly revisits the film's hot spots, notably marijuana use, his psychological pummeling of guileless rival Lou Ferrigno, and the scene in which he casually blows off his father's funeral in favor of training for the Mr. Olympia competition. Then there's that messy bit comparing orgasms and pumping iron. "Pumping Iron: The 25th Anniversary Special Edition" mostly reprises the film-and-featurettes package that ran on Cinemax a few years back. Video (4:3) and audio (5.1 or stereo) were remastered at the time, with decent results considering the source materials. The movie doesn't retain the shock value it did back in the mid-'70s, when body sculpting was just an odd subculture. But it's still an interesting time capsule. And Arnold's love affair with the camera gives a good indication of what's ahead. (Sorry, no groping.) In the extras, Live Schreiber gives terse, NFL films-style narration to a 15-minute intro and a making-of docu, both strengthened by outtakes plucked from the 100 or so hours shot by director George Butler ("The Endurance"). The featured bodybuilders reunite and talk about what the film meant to them, both good and bad. Ferrigno, in particular, struggled to come to terms with his image in the film: "I felt like a freak." PS -- This DVD is no quickie -- it was planned well before Schwarzenegger's guberatorial campaign.

Summary: The resaon I got into bodybuilding.
Review: This video and his Bodybuilding book is the reason I got into bodybuilding. I used to have real bad lung problems getting in to bodybuilding saved my life i went from being a weak little guy that could not walk down the stairs with out having a attack. To someone that can bench over 300 pounda and run a mile. This video will get you wanting to train and be the best you you can be.

Summary: awesome
Review: this is one of the best movies. as a college student, my friends and i often sit around and joke about this hilarious movie. arnold has some classic lines, and i am in complete awe of his body. the most classic parts are when we talks about cuming, and then smokes a joint at the end of the movie. that alone is worth 15 dollars.
