Review of Pumping Iron (1977) by Anthony H — 22 Aug 2014
I've finally have seen all the Arnold Schwarzenegger films; with the exception of The Expendables 3 (more of a Stallone film). I gotta say I was quite entertained by this film/documentary. Who knew watching men lift weights could be so entertaining? It helps having Arnold's awesome personality in the film, in this film you see the making of a superstar.
I never realized competitive bodybuilding could be so cut-throat. This was the first time I didn't cheer for Arnold in film; I found him arrogant, but likable. I was on team Lou Ferringo's side.
The film boasts an awesome 70's soundtrack, and those 70's wardrobe and haircuts are just too awesome. This film made me feel a little bad about how out of shape I am, luckily I had my large barrel of cheeseballs to make me feel better.
