This part documentary, part scripted film covers the epic battle between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno for the 1975 Mr. Olympia title. Directors George Butler and Robert Fiore craft a film that covers the 4 month buildup as bodybuilders throughout the world prepared for the finals. From Venice Beach, CA to Pretoria, South Africa we see the hard work and spectacle that are the bodybuilding championships. While everyone in the movie is built, somehow Arnold appears bigger and better than everyone else. This is a fascinating documentary that you might have missed!
