I cant wait to see the movie, I have the tape buy my VCR is all fucked up. I have seen posts about it before...if you do a search you can prob find a place to get it.

You can find VHS copies on E-bay. They went out of production in the 80's I think, so most of these are copies. They do not have it out on DVD, but I hope they will re-issue it on DVD someday.

Peace,

Arnold baught the rights to Pumping Iron and took it out of production. For what reason, it didn't say. The cinemax version was better because they had all the Bodybuilders 25 years later and had all the out takes shown for the first time. Shit I was waiting all month for that to come on so I for sure recorded it. Its by far the best motivating thing for me to hit the gym hard.

I believe I heard he took it out of production because of the scene of him smokin' a fatty after he wins the Olympia. I also heard there is a version you can buy that has that scene removed.


I downloaded the orginal off of Grokster. Pretty funny seein' Arnie smokin' it up at the end.

Yeah, I also heard that he removed pumping iron from produciton do to the joint at the end. But, that doen't make any sense to me because the 25th aniversary addition had the joint (i think) and when they talked about it in some article I read, it stated that Arnold wanted to keep the smoking part of it in because that was a part of who he was, and it was back in the seventies and that is what people did then. He acted like there wasn't anything wrong with it. So, why would he now allow a version with the smoking to be made???

Anyway, pumping iron rocks, i have two copies of it, one now with Raw Iron - The making of pumping iron.

Raw Iron was damn cool though. I had no idea that all those guys were so close and friendly. I wish I had people like that in my gym. It was weird though, to see all these big guys who are now all old and wrinkley.

And whats up with Mike Katz, he looked like crap!
