This would be a slightly dull documentary about muscular men, save for one thing: Arnold Schwarzenegger. Every line of his interviews in this film is amazing. It's worth watching just to listen to him babble and accidentally spout dozens of comedic gems!

It reminds me of some of those sombre Canadian films that were popular back in the 1980s. I remember I watched this as a kid. I am thankful for that. This is a great film with a tone reminiscent of other great docs. The film builds up suspense in the beginning and then takes off. The cinematography is stark and bare. In the bundle of all that it lacks, I feel that the movie is ignored for its creativity. Quality work that draws you in and doesn't let you go. I suggest this movie to everyone. This is actually a serious movie with a serious message. It is a powerful film. Final rating from me: seven out of ten, almost eight out of ten.

I did not have particularly high expectations of this film when I first came to watch it, but I left the screen with a new found knowledge of bodybuilding, an area which I had never seen on film before, and was inspired more than ever to get training! I really liked this film a lot. I found it very interesting to have entered this new world of bodybuilding and I now have a much better understanding of what the sport is all about. I found Arnold Shwarzenegger to be very funny throughout this film and enjoyed watching his journey. I would highly recommend this film to just about anyone and I hope it can inspire you too.

The movie is about conditioning professional and amateur body builders went through to get prepared for the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest.The centerpiece of course is 28 year old Arnold Scwartzenegger who was the five time Mr. Olympia going in. This is also the movie that made Arnold widely recognized in America. Akso new comer into the contest was the 24 year old Lou "the Hulk" Ferrigno. You see other body building legends like Dr. Franco Columbu, Mike Kats, Ken Waller, Serge Neubret, and Mike Mentzer. You see the mind game before the contest going, and you really need to keep your courage up otherwise, your performance suffers.All of the contestants looked like champs, and in their own ways they were. It was close in my opinion between Arnold and Lou, but Arnold had more experience, and strength of will. That's how close these competitions are. In the end two best friends Arnold and Franco goes on the pose offs to decide the overall winner. One of the finest moment in body building history.George Butler did a masterful job of directing and producing this little gem of a movie. A classic in all definition of the word.
