March 11, 2009This is the movie that shows how much of an Ass Arnie was back in the day, and really helps you to understand the man child that was Lou Ferrigno back in the day.

August 18, 2007Arnie's not acting, the reality aspect spoiled it for me, he's more realistic when he acts! What a genius!
-
January 5, 2007Docu-drama about bodybuilders featuring a very young arnie. Sound entertaining? Thought not...
-
December 3, 2009Arnold rules. "I'm cumming at work, im cumming at home, im cumming everywhere"
-
September 29, 2009This was better when it was on VHS. The DVD cut stuff that made Arnold look bad. Not good for office
-
September 25, 2009Part documentary, part mockumentary the film manags to both portray the (then) underground bodybuilding culture of the 1970s and slyly mock it.
Smarter than it is given credit for, though that is hardly saying much. -
July 27, 2009Quite entertaining & yet inspiring. This is a classic that will make you want to work out. Keep in mind that steroids were legal back then.
