Customer Reviews of Pumping Iron (25th Anniversary Special Edition)
Muscles or what? This doco-movie is a great one to watch, involving a young Arnold Schwrzenegger. Wacthing him train and pump is body is mind boggling. And then there is the young Bill bixby who is also traing to compete against Arnie and is incredibly deaf. The images of him pumping iron with his Father watching and training him is great stuff. The dedication that these men put into their training is amazing and makes for a fascinating watch. Even if you are not a huge fan of the body building industry, it is still a great doco to watch, and you won't help but feel admiration for what they do to their bodies.

DVD got to my house very quickly in great condition, still in the wrapper. Actually purchased for my boyfriend, he loves Arnold so I knew I couldn't go wrong. He loves this movie.....
Ripple (Ripped) Effects
Now thirty years after it was released, 'Pumping Iron,' a breakthrough documentary, has changed much in our culture with ripple effects that are still pumping through today. Seeming an obscure project, the film put bodybuilding on the map and made it respectable. The format of the film is used in documentaries and "reality tv" even today. The focal point is the Mr. Olympia title, the pinnacle achievement for male bodybuilders, but the drama captures Arnold Schwarzenegger just before he plans retirement. Add to that a rising rival in Lou Ferringo, and you have yourself a contest. Interviewing the participants and unveiling their motivations and thoughts gives the whole presentation more meat and development. 'Pumping Iron' made bodybuilding into a mainstream and formidable franchise.

>Featuring grueling training sessions, and the indespensible interviews by key players, the whole spectacle has much more meaning. Knowing that mental aspects are crucial to success in sports, Schwarzenegger proves that it is no less removed from bodybuilding than from any other sport. Seeing supporting roles by dedicated players like Mike Katz gives the whole enterprise a greater scope and respectability. (It is doubtful that the repurcussions of health clubs, and, Arnold's reign at the box office and over a state described as the "fifth largest world economy" would be possible--to name but a few influencial developments.)
