Classic 80's Action Movie Plot: Blow up huge things, kill dozens of bad guys, save your daughter, fight the boss, then go home with the beautiful girl with only one scratch on your face after its all said and done.
Most of Arnie's films were great or at least good (besides Jingle All The Way, and Junior) but my favorites will always be Terminator 2 and Pumping Iron.
Its a real classic and it features the 1975 competition of Mr. Olympia which pitted the Hulk himself Lou Ferrigno against the Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Summary: Arnold Schwarzenegger (The Terminator) stars in the exciting "Pumping Iron," the box office blockbuster that elevated body building from freak show to art form and launched Schwarzenegger's mega-superstar career. Schwarzenegger is mesmerizing and ruthless as he psyches out competitors - including Lou "The Hulk" Ferrigno, Franco Columbo and Mike Katz - in his quest for a sixth straight Mr Olympia title. Surprising backstage and off-sight scenes reveal why they muscle warriors are seduced by the sport and how they and their families are consumed with defeating the Champion of Champions, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
