Reviews

**Probably the most significant film about bodybuilding ever made.** This film is a masterclass for any documentary filmmaker—though it's more of a docudrama than a traditional documentary. Fiction and reality are cleverly intertwined in a way that helped lay the groundwork for the subsequent bodybuilding and fitness boom. It also introduced the public to a man who would go on to achieve even greater success in many fields, often as a pioneer, and sometimes in situations where no one believed in him: Arnold Schwarzenegger. At his peak as a "bodybuilder," Arnie is portrayed as someone who is sharp and ruthless, willing to sacrifice everything—absolutely everything—for success. Lou Ferrigno, later known for portraying the Hulk in the TV series, plays his rival, a shy and vulnerable individual with a dominant and pushing father. These two opposing forces are used to represent the 1970s U.S. bodybuilding scene and make it accessible to the public.

Playboy: Playmate Playoffs

This 'educational documentary' features 10 gorgeous playmates competing against each other in various athletic activities, all of which involve either skimpy, very revealing bikinis or wet t-shirts. There's watersliding, pie relays, hose downs, rodeo riding and of course an impromptu mud wrestling display at the end. Chuck Woolery does a decent job of hosting it and it's actually quite entertaining aside from the awesome chicks. I'm surpised they didn't make any more of these. Probably has something to do with the fact that two of the girls get injured during the contests. The gals seem a bit of a throwback to the days of the "all-natural" beauty. And seeing the well endowed Roberta Vasquez bouncing in the relay race is a thing of beauty. If you're into hot 80's chicks, I suggest you check this out. IMDB lists this as a documentary.
