Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
Arnold Schwarzenegger works the crowds, plots strategies for defeating multiple opponents, shares his parents' values with the press, and inspires legions of admirers with his resolute optimism about the future. And all of this long before he decided to run for governor of California, in 1977's hit documentary, Pumping Iron. Larger than life, though not necessarily larger than his rivals for the Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia bodybuilding titles (especially a young Lou Ferrigno, hot on Arnold's competitive trail but much less interesting), Schwarzenegger still comes across, at age 28, as a consummate politician, smart, likable, and crafty about exploiting others' psychological weaknesses. The film still feels redundant (there's only so much beefcake the human eye will tolerate), but the emotional dramas--the unrewarded hard work, the unanswered hopes--are compelling. Complete with a revealing 2003 interview with Schwarzenegger and a reunion of the film's bodybuilders and director. --Tom Keogh

- best arnold movie ever
this is an extraordinary movie. it may not be for everyone, but it is unique in my movie-watching experience

if you're interested in arnold schwarzenegger or the early culture of body-building, it's a no-brainer. see it

arnold is charming, hilarious and incredibly intelligent - even when he describes missing his father's funeral because he has to stay focused on his competition in a couple months.. making up a different story for his mother

otherwise: it's an intimate movie about men. how many of those have you seen?

32 years doesn't seem like a huge period in the history of culture, but the movie tells a different story. can you imagine professional athletes hanging out with each other casually, and their parents? allowing intimate and unscripted ... Read More

- steroids!
just s bunch of cheating, juiced up, meatheads lifting weights and talking about it. I could go to a Golds Gym and get the same experience.

- Arnold in Bestform
I'm a very big fan from Arnold Schwarzenegger and I have most of his films. It's a fantastic career he has made. And Pumping Iron is a fantastic review of his Bodybuilding carrer to see him in his bestform.
I can recommend everybody to buy this film who like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

- An early peek at The Ahh-nold, Pre-Governator Model
Long before "Eye vant to pump you up..." became a Hans and Franz Saturday Night Live catchphrase, before the pump was a feature of Reebok running shoes, there was Arnold Schwarzenegger's orgiastic tribute to the sensation of muscular blood-engorgement.

"Pumping Iron" is a late 1970's documentary of bodybuilding subculture and the competitive hothouse leading up to the Mr. Olympia Competition of 1975. Its macro focus is hijacked somewhat by the larger than life muscles and personality of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

At this level, all of the bodybuilders have incredible physiques and are skilled at posing. Arnold has a command of the stage, though, a charisma, a sense of ease bordering on arrogance. His incandescent personality reads the people and situations around him and ... Read More
