AWESOME!

Awesome movie now im only 16 but this movie is really inspiring and when i got it in the first few days i watched it 3 times. The fact that they made Ken Waller look like the bad guy was funny and the scene with Mike Katz with his son and daughter was funny comparing his son to him now. Great movie and very accurate to a point. =) July 16, 2008

Entertaining!

I enjoyed this movie very much. It gives you an idea of how the body builders of that era got ready for comp by training, eating, posing practices, etc. Even if you arent a future body builder, it is worth the watch. The infamous scenes of Arnold smoking pot, and claiming that the "pump" is better than "cumming" are classic. May 27, 2008

Absolute Gem!

What can I say, its an Arnie classic!!! The additional material is great as well, gives a really good insight into the movie and the time it was made. April 7, 2008

Tons of great stuff

This is a very entertaining "documentary" for anyone in the bodybuilding community, and probably fairly entertaining for anyone else.
The special features have some great clips and insight to the movie that are definitely worth seeing.
You are missing out if you do not watch them. March 31, 2008

Pumping Iron - A Classic For Anyone Competing in Sports

I remember having seen this when it first came out. Of course I was much younger then, and who would have ever guessed that Arnold would go on to become not only an action movie mega-star (Conan, Predator, Commando, True Lies with hottie Jamie Lee Curtis! , etc.) but the Governor of California no less! The movie has the qualities of a documentary, but the main reason I bought it is that my 17-year old son has been lifting weights for about one year and is really getting into it. After seeing this movie, he's more "pumped up" than ever! And so am I!! I've been working out for about 7 weeks quite intensively, and now I want to work out even harder. This is a must see for anyone who can use that extra dose of motivation. February 15, 2008
