This semi-documentary highlights the determination and vanity of the professional bodybuilder. As well as bringing Arnold Schwarzenegger to the attention of the world, the film also features Lou Ferrigno who went on to portray The Incredible Hulk in the 1970s/80s TV series.

Arnold's tactics are downright evil. An entertaining look at the world of bodybuilding that goes by nicely and you kind of understand why.

Arnold is simply one of a kind, just like this documentary. I'm not a bodybuilding fan by any means, but I found this intriguing and appealing. 95%

Another excellent documentary I've seen recently. It's not as powerful as, say, a documentary about Kurt Cobain, or rather not as innovative in terms of form, but it's still an excellent look behind the scenes of the Mr. Olympia competition, which Arnold Schwarzenegger again took part in 1975. But it's not just about him, which is what I like about the documentary. Lou Ferrigno and Franco Columbu also get plenty of space.
