Il documentario è stato co- diretto da Robert Fiore e George Butler . Era basato sul libro omonimo di Charles Gaines e George Butler ( Simon and Schuster , 1974) .
Pumping Iron è un film che documenta quello che viene comunemente definito come " The Golden Age " di bodybuilding , un momento in cui la massa e le dimensioni contava meno , e la simmetria e la definizione del corpo è stato preferito . Il documentario segue le due gare di bodybuilding principali , la IFBB Mr. Universe ( per i dilettanti ) e il Mr. Olympia ( per i professionisti ) a Pretoria , in Sud Africa . Anche se il documentario si concentra su Schwarzenegger , molti bodybuilder importanti fanno apparizioni , tra cui Lou Ferrigno , Franco Columbu , Mike Mentzer , Robby Robinson , Mike Katz , Albert Beckles , Ken Waller , Frank Zane , Paul Grant, Ed Corney , Serge Nubret e Danny Padilla - tutti i campioni di talento nei loro diritti .

Franco Columbu sarebbe andato a vincere la Olympia nel 1976 e nel 1981 , e alla fine divenne un chiropratico pratica , e attore . Lou Ferrigno anche continuato a molto successo : se non ha mai vinto il titolo Olympia , riuscì a televisione e film , interpretato come protagonista nella serie TV The Incredible Hulk .
Un sequel , Pumping Iron II : The Women (1985) , focalizzata sul bodybuilding femminile .
Una 25 ° edizione anniversario di Pumping Iron commenti da Arnold e George Butler , ammettendo che parti del film sono state organizzate per rendere il film più interessante . In un primo momento Butler aveva cercato di fare un semplice documentario mettendo in evidenza il lato umano di culturisti , ma in qualche modo non ha fatto abbastanza "lavoro" . Ha scelto invece di prendere un buon approccio ragazzo / cattivo . Arnold e Ken Waller erano i cattivi scelti. Ad un certo punto del film Arnold afferma che si è rifiutato di partecipare al funerale di suo padre, in Austria perché stava allenando per una gara ; nel commento nega mai capitato , ricordare che ha preso la storia da un bodybuilder francese che una volta incontrato . Tuttavia, ci sono molte fonti affermano che egli non aveva effettivamente partecipato al funerale del padre . La scena in cui Waller discute il suo piano per rubare T -shirt di Katz con Robby Robinson e Roger Callard mentre lanciando un pallone da calcio è stato girato dopo la gara . Nella sezione bonus del DVD , Waller sostiene che ha fatto nascondere la camicia pensando che non sarebbe stato un grosso problema nel film . Egli ha anche rivelato che spesso ha ricevuto fischi dalla folla a causa dell'incidente T -shirt . Butler ha tuttavia precisato che la decisione di colpa Waller per la t -shirt mancanti venuto da filmati in cui Katz afferma che ha scommesso Waller prese . Ciò ha indotto le riprese della scena calcistica dopo.

La prima parte del documentario presenta i contendenti Mr. Universo e inizia con un profilo di Mike Katz , che ha intenzione di vincere il Mr. Universo . Competere contro Katz è Ken Waller . I due sono opposti : dove Katz è umile e senza pretese , Waller è arrogante e sporco ( si nasconde deliberatamente cose di Katz al Mr. Universo di rompere la sua messa a fuoco prima di salire sul palco ) . Dopo una posa -down , Waller , a causa della sua definizione e le proporzioni superiori , alla fine vince il Mr. Universo con Katz venire un 4 ° posto lontano. Va notato che Katz è considerato da alcuni di avere la più grande cassa di tutti i tempi , di misura ad un certo punto un enorme 60 pollici (152 cm) , una prodezza eguagliato solo da Lou Ferrigno . Tuttavia, grande come Katz è stato il momento più umanizzante si è verificato quando dopo aver scoperto che non ce l'ha fatta al posedown ( la fase finale nel determinare il vincitore) , si vede tranquillamente combattere le lacrime dietro le quinte . Noi , il pubblico , siamo di apprendere che non aveva ancora vinto Mr Universe dopo troppi tentativi .
La seconda parte del film segue le contendenti Olympia , Arnold Schwarzenegger , Lou Ferrigno e Franco
Columbu . Il padre di Ferrigno in una piccola palestra del centro allena Lou Ferrigno , un operaio di acciaio . Ferrigno è umile e si allena duro , mentre Arnold allena nella lussuosa palestra Gold , affiancato da donne compie il suo vitello solleva . Franco e Arnold sia in treno insieme alla palestra all'aperto , Muscle Beach , dove gli spettatori sono in grado di guardare , contrastanti le condizioni Ferrigno è la formazione sotto . E 'stato , infatti , Ed Corney che era compagno di allenamento di Arnold per la preparazione per il 1975 Olympia . La spiegazione non è misterioso . Columbu era spesso impegnato con la sua educazione chiropratica e il suo programma di allenamento è stato difficile coordinare con Arnold . I produttori di film girati dei filmati "copertura" di Corney come hanno fatto di Columbu , sulla base della loro convinzione che c'era una buona possibilità di Corney prendere il meno di 200 pound titolo in Sud Africa . Tuttavia, quando Corney preso il secondo posto a Pretoria , il film è stato necessariamente modificato per mettere più drammatico attenzione per Columbu . Franco Columbu è documentato anche in una scena memorabile quando soffia aria in una bottiglia di acqua calda fino a quando non esplode .
Prima della gara Olympia il documentario rivela anche meno noti comportamenti e pratiche ingannevoli di Schwarzenegger quando si tratta di suoi colleghi concorrenti . Arnold commenta che se i suoi concorrenti sono davvero meglio di lui che otterrà una stanza con loro la notte prima della gara e semplicemente parlare in perdita .
Il documentario prende poi via a Pretoria , Sud Africa, per il build-up al concorso . I concorrenti tutti prendono parte alle gare di pre - giudicare . La classe sotto 200 £ ( 91 kg) è giudicato in primo luogo , e Franco Columbu è dichiarato vincitore . Il prossimo ad essere giudicati sono i tre finalisti di oltre £ 200 classi ( 91 kg) , Lou Ferrigno , Arnold , e Serge Nubret . Arnold viene dichiarato vincitore e deve andare per una posa -down con Franco Columbu per il titolo assoluto Olympia . Arnold per la 6 ° volta viene incoronato Mr. Olympia ; dopo la sua vittoria annuncia il suo ritiro dalle competizioni . Egli è mostrato celebrare la sua vittoria fumando marijuana , mangiare pollo fritto e torta di compleanno ; potenzialmente la combinazione più tabù in Bodybuilding . Il documentario si conclude con tutti coloro che hanno partecipato partire per l'aeroporto su un autobus .


Growing up in a small, isolated village in Austria, he turned to bodybuilding as his ticket to a better life. Prior to that he served a mandatory one year in the Austrian military (beginning in 1965). After conquering the world as arguably the greatest bodybuilder who ever lived, he went to America to make his name in motion pictures. Hampered by his impossible name and thick accent, success eluded him for many years. It wasn't until he found the tailor-made role of Conan that he truly came into his own as a performer. A succession of over-the-top action films made him an international box office star. By alternating violent action films with lighter, comedic fare, he has solidified his position as one of the most popular - if not the most popular - movie stars in the world. After his long, and successful movie career, he ran in the California recall. He is now the Governor of California, yet another celebrity to be elected to the position. With an almost unpronounceable surname and a thick Austrian accent, who would have ever believed that a brash, quick talking bodybuilder from a small European village would become one of Hollywood's biggest stars, marry into the prestigious Kennedy family, amass a fortune via shrewd investments and one day be the Governor of California! The amazing story of uber-star Arnold Schwarzenegger is a true "rags to riches" story of the penniless immigrant making it in the land of opportunity, the United States of America. Arnold was born on July 30th, 1947 in the town of Thal, Austria and, from a young age, he took a keen interest in physical fitness and bodybuilding, going on to compete in several minor contests in Europe. However, it was when he emigrated to the United States in 1968 at the tender age of 21 that his star began to rise. Up until the early 1970's, bodybuilding had been viewed as a rather oddball sport, or even a mis-understood "freak show" by the general public, however two entrepreneurial Canadian brothers Ben Weiderand Joe Weider set about broadening the appeal of "pumping iron" and getting the sport respect, and what better poster boy could they have to lead the charge, then the incredible "Austrian Oak", Arnold Schwarzenegger. Over roughly the next decade, beginning in 1970, Schwarzenegger dominated the sport of competitive bodybuilding winning five Mr. Universe titles and seven Mr. Olympia titles and, with it, he made himself a major sports icon, he generated a new international audience for bodybuilding, gym memberships worldwide swelled by the tens of thousands and the Weider sports business empire flourished beyond belief and reached out to all corners of the globe. However, Schwarzenegger's horizons were bigger than just the landscape of bodybuilding and he debuted on screen as "Arnold Strong" in the low budget Hercules in New York (1970), then director Bob Rafelson cast Arnold in Stay Hungry (1976) alongside Jeff Bridges and Sally Field, for which Arnold won a Golden Globe Award for "Best Acting Debut in a Motion Picture". The mesmerizing Pumping Iron (1977) covering the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest in South Africa has since gone on to become one of the key sports documentaries of the 20th century, plus Arnold landed other acting roles in the comedy The Villain (1979) opposite Kirk Douglas, and he portrayed Mickey Hargitay in the well- received TV movie The Jayne Mansfield Story (1980) (TV). But, what Arnold really needed was a super hero / warrior style role in a lavish production that utilized his chiseled physique, and gave him room to show off his growing acting talents and quirky humor. Conan the Barbarian (1982) was just that role. Inspired by the Robert E. Howard short stories of the "Hyborean Age" and directed by gung ho director John Milius, and with a largely unknown cast, save Max von Sydow and James Earl Jones, "Conan" was a smash hit worldwide and an inferior, although still enjoyable sequel titled Conan the Destroyer (1984) quickly followed. If "Conan" was the kick start to Arnold's movie career, then his next role was to put the pedal to the floor and accelerate his star status into overdrive. Director James Cameron had until that time only previously directed one earlier feature film titled Piranha Part Two: The Spawning (1981), - which stank of rotten fish from start to finish - however Cameron had penned a fast paced, science fiction themed film script that called for an actor to play an unstoppable, ruthless predator - The Terminator (1984). Made on a relatively modest budget, the high voltage action / science fiction thriller The Terminator was incredibly successful worldwide, and began one of the most profitable film franchises in history. The dead pan phrase "I'll be back" quickly became part of popular culture across the globe. Schwarzenegger was in vogue with action movie fans, and the next few years were to see Arnold reap box office gold in roles portraying tough, no-nonsense individuals who used their fists, guns and witty one-liners to get the job done. The testosterone laden Commando (1985), Raw Deal (1986), Predator (1987), The Running Man (1987) and Red Heat (1988) were all box office hits and Arnold could seemingly could no wrong when it came to picking winning scripts. The tongue-in-cheek comedy Twins (1988/I) with co-star Danny De Vito was a smash and won Arnold new fans who saw a more comedic side to the muscle-bound actor once described by Australian author / TV host Clive James as "a condom stuffed with walnuts". The spectacular Total Recall (1990) and "feel good" Kindergarten Cop (1990) were both solid box office performers for Arnold, plus he was about to return to familiar territory with director James Cameron in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). The second time around for the futuristic robot, the production budget had grown from the initial film's $6.5 million to an alleged $100 million for the sequel, and it clearly showed as the stunning sequel bristled with amazing special effects, bone-crunching chases & stunt sequences, plus state of the art computer-generated imagery. Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) was arguably the zenith of Arnold's film career to date and he was voted "International Star of the Decade" by the National Association of Theatre Owners. Remarkably, his next film Last Action Hero (1993) brought Arnold back to Earth with a hard thud as the self-satirizing, but confusing plot line of a young boy entering into a mythical Hollywood action film confused movie fans even more and they stayed away in droves making the film an initial financial disaster. Arnold turned back to good friend, director James Cameron and the chemistry was definitely still there as the "James Bond" style spy thriller True Lies (1994) co-starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Tom Arnoldwas the surprise hit of 1994! Following the broad audience appeal of True Lies, Schwarzenegger decided to lean towards more family-themed entertainment with Junior (1994) and Jingle All the Way (1996), but he still found time to satisfy his hard-core fan base with Eraser (1996), as the chilling "Mr. Freeze" in Batman & Robin (1997) and battling dark forces in the supernatural action of End of Days (1999). The science fiction / conspiracy tale The 6th Day (2000) played to only mediocre fan interest, and Collateral Damage (2002) had it's theatrical release held over for nearly a year after the tragic events of Sept 11th 2001, but it still only received a lukewarm reception. It was time again to resurrect Arnold's most successful franchise and, in 2003, Schwarzenegger pulled on the biker leathers for the third time for Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003). Unfortunately, directorial duties passed from James Cameron to Jonathan Mostow and the deletion of the character of "Sarah Connor" aka Linda Hamilton and a change in the actor playing "John Connor" - Nick Stahl took over from Edward Furlong - making the third entry in the "Terminator" series the weakest to date. Schwarzenegger contributed cameo roles to The Rundown (2003), Around the World in 80 Days (2004) and The Kid & I (2005) and took political office in 2003 as the Governor of California, effectively suspending his film career for the foreseeable future. Schwarzenegger married TV journalist Maria Shriver in April, 1986 and the couple have four children.

Evidenzio
Pumping Iron is a 1977 documentary film about the run-up to the 1975 Mr. Olympia bodybuilding competition. The film focuses on Arnold Schwarzenegger and his competitors, Lou Ferrigno and Franco Columbu. The documentary was co-directed by Robert Fiore and George Butler. It was based on the book of the same name by Charles Gaines and George Butler (Simon and Schuster, 1974).
Pumping Iron is a movie documenting what is commonly referred to as "The Golden Age" of bodybuilding, a time when mass and size mattered less, and symmetry and definition of the body was preferred. The documentary follows the two main bodybuilding competitions, the IFBB Mr. Universe (for amateurs) and the Mr. Olympia (for professionals) in Pretoria, South Africa. Though the documentary focuses on Schwarzenegger, many notable bodybuilders make appearances, including Lou Ferrigno, Franco Columbu, Mike Mentzer, Robby Robinson, Mike Katz, Albert Beckles, Ken Waller, Frank Zane, Paul Grant, Ed Corney, Serge Nubret and Danny Padilla — all talented champions in their own rights.[citation needed] Ed Corney appeared on the front dust jacket of the hardcover edition of the book and the front of the softcover version, as well as on the poster for the movie.
The film was re-released on DVD in 2003 for the 25th Anniversary of the original. The DVD featured behind the scenes footage and recent interviews with the cast.

In addition to popularizing bodybuilding, Pumping Iron was the world's introduction to Arnold Schwarzenegger and was a contributing factor to his acting career. Franco Columbu would go on to win the Olympia in 1976 and 1981, and eventually became a practicing chiropractor, and actor. Lou Ferrigno also went on to much success: though he never won the Olympia title, he succeeded in television and movies, starring as the title character in the TV series The Incredible Hulk.
A sequel, Pumping Iron II: The Women (1985), focused on female bodybuilding.
A 25th anniversary edition of Pumping Iron included comments from Arnold and George Butler, admitting that parts of the movie were staged to make the film more interesting. At first Butler had tried to make a simple documentary highlighting the human side of bodybuilders, but somehow it didn't quite "work". He chose instead to take a good guy/bad guy approach. Arnold and Ken Waller were the chosen bad guys. At one point in the movie Arnold mentions that he refused to attend his father's funeral in Austria because he was training for a contest; in the commentary he denies this ever happened, mentioning that he took the story from a French bodybuilder he once met. However, there are many sources stating that he did indeed not attend his father's funeral. The scene where Waller discusses his plan to steal Katz's T-shirt with Robby Robinson and Roger Callard while tossing a football was filmed after the competition. In the bonus section of the DVD, Waller claims that he did hide the shirt thinking that it was not going to be a big deal in the movie. He also revealed that he often received boos from crowds due to the T-shirt incident. Butler however has stated that the decision to blame Waller for the missing t-shirt came from footage where Katz states that he bet Waller took it. This prompted the filming of the football scene afterwards.

The first part of the documentary features the Mr. Universe contenders and begins with a profile of Mike Katz who is intending to win the Mr. Universe. Competing against Katz is Ken Waller. The two are polar opposites: where Katz is humble and unassuming, Waller is arrogant and dirty (he deliberately hides Katz's belongings at the Mr. Universe to break his focus before going on stage). After a pose-down, Waller, due to his superior definition and proportions, eventually wins the Mr. Universe with Katz coming a distant 4th place. It should be noted that Katz is considered by some to have the greatest chest of all time, measuring at one point a huge 60 inches (152 cm), a feat only equaled by Lou Ferrigno. Nevertheless, big as Katz was, the most humanizing moment occurred when after finding out he did not make it to the posedown (the final round in determining the winner), is seen quietly fighting off tears backstage. We, the audience, are to learn that he still had not won Mr Universe after too many tries.
The second part of the film follows the Olympia contenders, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno and Franco Columbu. Ferrigno's father in a small downtown gym trains Lou Ferrigno, a steel worker. Ferrigno is humble and trains hard, whereas Arnold trains in the luxurious Gold's Gym, flanked by women as he performs his calf raises. Franco and Arnold both train together at the outdoor gym, Muscle Beach, where spectators are able to watch, contrasting the conditions Ferrigno is training under. It was, in fact, Ed Corney who was Arnold's training partner for the preparation for the 1975 Olympia. The explanation is not mysterious. Columbu was often busy with his chiropractic education and his training schedule was difficult to coordinate with Arnold's. The film makers shot as much "coverage" footage of Corney as they did of Columbu, based on their belief that there was a good possibility of Corney taking the under 200 pound title in South Africa. However, when Corney took second place in Pretoria, the film was necessarily edited to put more dramatic focus on Columbu. Franco Columbu is also documented in a memorable scene when he blows air into a hot water bottle until it explodes.
Prior to the Olympia competition the documentary also reveals Schwarzenegger's lesser-known deceptive behavior and practices when it comes to his fellow competitors. Arnold comments that if his competitors are indeed better than him that he will get a room with them the night prior to the competition and simply talk them into losing.
The documentary then takes off to Pretoria, South Africa, to the build-up to the competition. The competitors all take part in the Pre-Judging rounds. The under 200 pounds (91 kg) class is judged first, and Franco Columbu is declared the winner. The next to be judged are the three finalists from the over 200 pounds (91 kg) class, Lou Ferrigno, Arnold, and Serge Nubret. Arnold is declared the winner and must go for a pose-down with Franco Columbu for the overall Olympia title. Arnold for the 6th time is crowned Mr. Olympia; after his win he announces his retirement from competition. He is shown celebrating his victory by smoking marijuana, eating fried chicken and birthday cake; potentially the most taboo combination in Bodybuilding. The documentary ends with all who took part leaving for the airport on a bus.
