@@dkupkeWhere did he say this? All of the “dramatic” scenes in this movie were faked to sell the film to a broader audience. This was said by Arnold himself many years ago.
@@ovichggat according to ferrigno; the drama was lasted up heavily, yes. But at the time his father did try to act as his spokesman. During that contest, his father did get wrapped up in it all and dud pressure him. Lou was already under pressure enough for the stakes, so it was the last thing he needed.
Arnold continued to play mind games with people. On the set of Predator - Jesse Ventura was delighted to find out from the wardrobe department that his arms were one inch bigger than Arnold Schwarzenegger's. He suggested to Schwarzenegger that they measure arms, with the winner getting a bottle of champagne. Ventura lost, because Schwarzenegger had told the wardrobe department to tell Ventura that his arms were bigger.
Nothing beats Arnold tricking Stallone into starring in the bad movie "Stop, Or My Mum Will Shoot". There was a rumour in Hollywood that Arnold wanted to star in it, leading Stallone to claim the role immediately due to the two's strong rivalry in the 90s. Turns out Arnold started the rumour himself as a prank.
Arnold's best trained asset was his brain incredibly sharp tactful witty the reading of situations and having top level discipline to go with it, not to mention English being his second language and him still being ultra confident in himself
@@oscartovar5908 It's taking steroids what a real alpha male would do? I think they wouldn't need to, they should already have enough testosterone on their own
hnljojoilbvtgfyvgub if you’re being paid for bodybuilding, I don’t see why taking steroids would make you any less alpha lmao. only a very select few people on earth can say they’ve accomplished the magnitude of things Arnold has
My favorite thing about Arnold is how extremely serious and knowledgeable he was about body building while never appearing to take himself too serious and always having a good time. That’s not an easy feat at that age, with that much success..
He appears not to take him self seriously in order to manipulate and intimidate those around him, in reality he is the only thing he takes seriously at this point in his life
You could tell he loved Lou. Even the guy asking him about Lou, he expected him to be real competitive or have a competitive answer but Arnold wanted a nice message back to Lou. Most of the later scenes are with Lou and Lou’s family.
Lou was initially casted as the villain for Pumping Iron but it was not working out because of Lou's underdog background and nice guy personality, so Arnie stepped up to take the arrogant pseudo-villain role to make the movie dynamic and dramatic as the original idea intended, even if for his career being the good guy would have been a better fit. This made the audience root for Lou as the underdog good guy challenging the arrogant champion. Arnold was ready to put the success of the movie and his respect for Lou before his own acting career interests in this case, and it paid off.

Mike2014 dude no one cares. Arnold succeeded and is a good guy overall, and this movie is a great example of how sheer determination and competitiveness in everything you do, even when talking to people, and taking advantage of every opportunity builds success. Few people have lived life to the extent he has. Sounds like your just jealous and easily offended.
I hadn’t appreciated how much Schwarzenegger trolled Ferigno and the others - it is nuts. Makes José Mourinho look like the fucking child he is. Just constant goading and barracking all the time isn’t it. Fantastic.
My favorite is when he say " I called my mother yesterday and told her I won. She said congratulations Arnold." The arrogance this guy had was hilarious.
Takes a hell of a lot more than 3 given that only 1 person out of millions could do any of the things he did. Only 1 in millions could become the highest paid actor in the world. Same with winning 7 Mr. Olympias and same with becoming governor of California. Each one independently is a one in millions thing. The odds of a single person accomplishing everything arnold did is one in many billions
Vitor Fogaco He didn't give up. When he lost to Arnold for the first time his parents disowned him. Lou was always treated like crap by his family and when they gave up on him like that it hit him hard. I honestly feel bad for the guy.
High Light ... No even as bad as the end in the car when he’s talking to Lou AND his dad telling them, basically, that he’s going to have Lou’s mom cook for him then he’s going to bang his sister...and the dad heard that his wife is going to cook the spaghetti and meatballs with cheesecake and then his daughter is getting nailed, lmao. Brutal!!!
@@dr.stevebrule4029 arnold didn't had a supportive family but he was smart unlike lou after he got disowned he was hurt deeply by it instead of thinking and winning the next year prior to 1975 that's why he said lou had a losers mentality but only for a short period of time
+CheetosVikings Hell yeah, He is DAMN alpha at the breakfast table. Frame control, lives in his own world, interrupts and doesnt seem to listen really, dominant, funny, smiling, got everybodys attention, lous father sucking up to him, his mom show the classical attraction smile and laugh that submissive females do to many real alpha males. A natural. Ive read mens health magazine or something like that that said arnold got a ton of females when he was young and they was drawn to him a mosquitos to a light bulb. I would not be suprised. Many says arnold wasnt so good looking when young, friends and even though he do and has very masculine facial charstericts, its not about that, its about this manly charestericts that matters the most and self confidence. And its not about being an mean asshole at all. Arnold is not mean he is friendly and has a smile.
B4You Edited Music & Videos No, they were playing it up for hype to make it seem like lou and arnold were bitter rivals. They even stated it in the behind the scenes of filming pumping iron.
This cool to watch Arnold Schwarzenegger (Hercules) and Lou Ferrignos(Incredible Hulk).sit and work out in the same room and travel together was a treat.Lou seems like a real good person that take his craft very seriously.
These times during the 70s seem to had been very nice when people had no social media, smartphones, etc, and yet, they were able to gather with friends and enjoy great meaningful conversations. People looked so naturally healthy back then. I envy that in a way. Arnold was by all means, the best at this bodybuilding lifestyle. He was passionate about it and his body was perfect for it. Lou was funny making noises while lifting, but he was fortunate to share a lifestyle with the best and therefore became one of the best.
Idk man like he seemed intimidated by Lou..Lou seemed to be getting some spotlight and Arnold wasn't digging it since Lou was bigger..idk that's what I was catching on here
It wasn't, it was before. Arnold was basically saying he had already won. That's why he made the joke about calling his mom and telling her he had won already, and why he told Lou's dad to calm him down before the show.
I enjoy Pumping Iron so much and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno , Franco Colombu and other bodybuilders were Gods and idols people looked up to 🙂😁. The golden era of bodybuilding and the old fashioned muscular physique was unique back then ! 😁💪🏻
Like him or hate him, you can't deny Arnold is a very remarkable man. He is one of those people who can say he really has seen it all, done it all. Self made millionaire, one of the greatest bodybuilding champions of all time and helped bring lifting weights for exercise into the mainstream, at one time one of the biggest names in Hollywood, built his own political brand and achieved national office. His only real mistake in life was not being able to keep it in his pants.
+Adrijana Radosevic I have to admit, I did chuckle at that part. Arnold didn't put up any legal fight at first because he thought his ex wouldn't go after his money since, after all, she is a wealthy individual herself. But she took him for all she could, an even if he is not destitute, you could tell how much it surprised him. Hell hath no fury, after all.
Some lady was the first one to yell speech. This was post competition and Arnold already announced his retirement so there was no need to get in his head
The scenes of arnold having breakfast with lou and his parents was brutal , savagely talked down to him right in his face and his parents face "should of waited one more year , your still not ready , no where near in shape , but okay lets do it"
Herakles can't learn confidence. You are born with it or not. If you're not born with it then most of the times you'll just be cocky who is secretly insecure
lol no, confidence is based on experiences and subjective to everything. You can be confident in one thing and inconfident in another. Confidence is just like intelligence the more you work hard to obtain your goal the sooner you will get what you want. Anyone can be smart and anyone can be confident.
Arnold had moments where his confidence faltered and it cost him. But he learned. And even if was sometimes just an act, he never let that image go again.
Lou Ferrigno was a mountain and could have easily won mr Olympia. Arnold proves to us how much confidence can change any situation. Unfortunately Lou was psyched out by Arnold and lost something he could have easily won.
I’ve never seen this before. By the time I was old enough to know who he is, he was already a mega movie star. After seeing this I now know why he became such a star...I never knew he was so naturally charismatic and witty.
First Last this film isn’t how these body builders used to act. A lot of it is overly dramatic. Arnold came out with interviews saying that they wanted him to play the role of the villain while lou is the victim. They were scared a documentary about guys just lifting weights wouldn’t sell good so they made drama around it. Sorry but most of it is fake ruclips.net/video/mNHy8OrjhaY/видео.html
Arnold was by far the smartest of the lot, he just got in their heads and played them all like fools. A big reason he often beat them. There was more to it than just getting into shape physically.
Imagine going to a forgien country, learning a new language, getting famous for lifting weights, becoming the highest paid movie star, then becoming governor of the biggest state in that country. Arnold is a god amongst men (Stolen Bill Burr quote, give or take)
Uh California is definitely not the biggest state nor is it the 2nd. You kids are uneducated nowadays I worry about the world because all you have to do is simply google it before you type it and go public with it lol
@@patrickdadon5794 it's undeniable that he made it mainstream. He launched the lifestyle into the stratosphere more than every other popular bodybuilder combined. It is simply a fact.
nobody has followed in his footsteps look at these jokers nowadays step into any gym: wannabe alpha males with neck tats lookin like they are prison ex cons pathetic
I like how they were still playing mind games after the competition in the bus scene. Arnold was saying how he was going to go to Lou’s house and his mom was going to make him dinner (he didn’t ask, he just said it was going to happen) and how he was gone get with his sister. Lou then tried to psych Arnold out by taking off his jacket, but obviously it didn’t work 😂

Arnold succeeded and is a good guy overall, and this movie is a great example of how sheer determination and competitiveness in everything you do, even when talking to people, and taking advantage of every opportunity builds success. Few people have lived life to the extent he has. Sounds like your just jealous and easily offended.
"What did you say, Louie? You make too much noise." Holy smoke, Arnold really understood psychological warfare.
The definition of focus and drive...with a wink and a laugh...arnold was special
“Franco is pretty smart but franco is a child and when it comes to the day of the contest I am his father” 🍼
Not hard for me to give him the wrong advices 😆
I think he'd regret this one if he saw it again
What a cut throat and dirty thing to say about your friend
@@mtmatt8958 He's putting on a show for the documentary mate. There's a reason why we're still watching clips decades later.
@@Esperandoteband Franco didn't speak the best English. It wouldn't of been impossible for Arnold to relay the wrong advices...
The breakfast scene is insane Arnold just dominating the table with ease 😂 like a king talking to peasants.
I truly respect theses bodybuilders they dont look like freaks like today's bodybuilders
Geez tell me about it
Yeah, they do look pretty normal.
Yeah they just look like they peaked make performance
they looked freak back then
Bodybuilder did not take that much steroid back than. There mainly took it stop there muscle from breaking down(catabolic state) when cutting down.
I feel this is where "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" came from

Anthony Monaghan spinal tap, now you my friend know the good stuff. DO STONEHENGE!

Wolf on the hill is not as hungry as the wolf climbing the hill -Arnold Schwarzenegger .
Never knew he quoted it around Lou Ferrigno.
"The king of the hill can only go down....."
"or stay up"
That was probably my favorite part. LOL
@Francois Suissae And that's why he goes down. He's fat and lazy.
Arnold was years ahead of everyone in terms of his mindset, unbreakable.
Absolutely love this doco, it's the best inspiration ,big louie
I like how they all just hung out, even if they're all competitors. They're also all bros lol
Yea looks like it was fun times in there
I hadn’t appreciated how much Schwarzenegger trolled Ferigno and the others - it is nuts. Makes José Mourinho look like the fucking child he is. Just constant goading and barracking all the time isn’t it. Fantastic.
A lot of the top guys also worked out at the same gym. So they were both competitors and training partners.
It was a friendly rivalry.
Yeah definitely one of the nicer aspects of the video.
Arnolds physique was truly a work of art not a grotesque mountain of muscle like today’s freaks.
Stan Gable exactly
Greek body
Well yes
No doubt bro.
Rhoden and Jackson ain't that Freaky 😂 that's just Ramy, Heath, Cutler and guys like that lmao
This is great footage. I felt like caming the whole time.
Impressive CV that’s unmatched.Legend.
My favorite is when he say " I called my mother yesterday and told her I won. She said congratulations Arnold." The arrogance this guy had was hilarious.
+booby b you can´t hate arnold and his jovial smile =)
***** I'm just saying he is hilarious and arrogant. No need to call me a fool.
tell us more bro
Didn't he say that before the competion?😂
@@Benaddicted11trkfbal why is it arrogant to tell your mom you wom

And didn't even inhale.
@@Bobba8590 he did
@@viiksters but clearly in the video, he did not. Not in this but in another.
What Arnold has achieved typically takes 3 lifetimes - he is the GOAT, hands down!
Takes a hell of a lot more than 3 given that only 1 person out of millions could do any of the things he did. Only 1 in millions could become the highest paid actor in the world. Same with winning 7 Mr. Olympias and same with becoming governor of California. Each one independently is a one in millions thing. The odds of a single person accomplishing everything arnold did is one in many billions
I like how these journalists are actually
doing unbiased unpolitical journalism on an interesting man and sport that is up and coming.
“The man has been in the zone for over 40 years” (bill burr)

Did really good for himself for a guy who should have been unloading trucks and Transylvania😂😂😂
Arnold at breakfast, the master of trash talk. 'Can you imagine the feeling of winning 6 times' lol poor Lou never stood a chance.
High Light agree He was still a kid at the time...got pretty insecure so fast
High Light Lou would win 76 and keep winning after that, but deep down, he was a loser, because he gave up
Vitor Fogaco
He didn't give up. When he lost to Arnold for the first time his parents disowned him. Lou was always treated like crap by his family and when they gave up on him like that it hit him hard. I honestly feel bad for the guy.
High Light ... No even as bad as the end in the car when he’s talking to Lou AND his dad telling them, basically, that he’s going to have Lou’s mom cook for him then he’s going to bang his sister...and the dad heard that his wife is going to cook the spaghetti and meatballs with cheesecake and then his daughter is getting nailed, lmao. Brutal!!!
@@dr.stevebrule4029 arnold didn't had a supportive family but he was smart unlike lou after he got disowned he was hurt deeply by it instead of thinking and winning the next year prior to 1975 that's why he said lou had a losers mentality but only for a short period of time
Bodybuilder, Actor,Bussinessman,Politician,Author...Arnold can do no wrong..
He turned trash talking into art... damn is this guy smart... always had an answer/comeback ready. Amazing.
Damn Arnold was smart as hell, nobody stood a chance
Thomas Just alllllllllllot of blood flow was going to the brain 🧠
It’s true too , that helps out tremendously!!!
Look into it and get it
Arnold is so fucking alpha even Lou's mom is choosing him over her family LOL
+CheetosVikings Hell yeah, He is DAMN alpha at the breakfast table. Frame control, lives in his own world, interrupts and doesnt seem to listen really, dominant, funny, smiling, got everybodys attention, lous father sucking up to him, his mom show the classical attraction smile and laugh that submissive females do to many real alpha males. A natural. Ive read mens health magazine or something like that that said arnold got a ton of females when he was young and they was drawn to him a mosquitos to a light bulb. I would not be suprised. Many says arnold wasnt so good looking when young, friends and even though he do and has very masculine facial charstericts, its not about that, its about this manly charestericts that matters the most and self confidence. And its not about being an mean asshole at all. Arnold is not mean he is friendly and has a smile.
Kalle Kula exactly it's not always about looks or money..
CheetosVikings 😂
She was totally giving him googly eyes. Lol
+Kalle Kula, well said, exactly. These traits are not very nice though, he had like zero humility.
"Franco is pretty smart but Franco is a child, and when it comes to the day of the contest, I am his father" - SAVAGE!!!
"What did you say Lou" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can tell Lou was aggravated and mad at that breakfast
I also think he was mad at his dad. Embarrassed by his dads comments.
B4You Edited Music & Videos
No, they were playing it up for hype to make it seem like lou and arnold were bitter rivals. They even stated it in the behind the scenes of filming pumping iron.
Lou’s dad was such a douchebag. You can tell he was never really getting attention from his dad until this movie began filming
Say what you want.... nobody realizes that Arnold was cumming during breakfast
7:40 Lou's face
Thats true.. but when he wants the food, its there.
Love that line
LiveLoveLift92 such great lines
Yeah was scrolling through the comments for this line
Such a great retort. Genius really.
Alpha af
This cool to watch Arnold Schwarzenegger (Hercules) and Lou Ferrignos(Incredible Hulk).sit and work out in the same room and travel together was a treat.Lou seems like a real good person that take his craft very seriously.
These times during the 70s seem to had been very nice when people had no social media, smartphones, etc, and yet, they were able to gather with friends and enjoy great meaningful conversations. People looked so naturally healthy back then. I envy that in a way. Arnold was by all means, the best at this bodybuilding lifestyle. He was passionate about it and his body was perfect for it. Lou was funny making noises while lifting, but he was fortunate to share a lifestyle with the best and therefore became one of the best.
Tbh, All I did when watching this was dream about the 1970’s.
It seemed like a magical time…
The wolf at the top of the hill may not be hungry but when he is, the food is there.
Haha good one Arnold
A-game on the spot witt
Arnold used to out-pysche everyone around him who he considered a threat. It'd very evident with Lou.
yes, this is true. and he did it well.
He still does till this day
It was an act for the documentary. They were good friends. And looking at them it was no contest. Arnold was FLAWLESS.
Legend says arnold has not stop coming to this day.
This guy was destined for greatness
Arnold's funny AF, but Lou's doing his best to tolerate him and not lose it.
El Lobo èriixdddrèè re try yet I ii I’m
the terminator and the hulk having breakfast
I wonder how Arnold had so much confidence and self-belief. I’ve struggled heavily with it my entire life.
He just the best, especially confidence and sense of humor ❤
Arnold: What did you say Louie?
Lou: I'm training Arnold!
Arnold: You make too much noise, you gotta be quiet in here like in a church LMAO
Dude fulls of jokes...almost everything he says is witty
That is my favorite part. I was watching it on Facebook but came here to find that clip. Arnold was a joker, still is.
Idk man like he seemed intimidated by Lou..Lou seemed to be getting some spotlight and Arnold wasn't digging it since Lou was bigger..idk that's what I was catching on here
Yeah of course! He was a possible threat to him in a way. He was big. So he had to do what he had to do, lot of mind games to break his spirit.
The power of is cockyness/confidence is solidified in 8:36.
Hasn't even won YET and already said 'six times Mr. Olympia'
haha, king
No...that breakfast was afterhe won his 6 title
It wasn't, it was before. Arnold was basically saying he had already won. That's why he made the joke about calling his mom and telling her he had won already, and why he told Lou's dad to calm him down before the show.
Looking back on this he was arrogant, but most of us are when were young, this is why we get old, God brings us back to reality for a reason
He def strikes me as a person who broke into Hollywood by doing porn :/.
I enjoy Pumping Iron so much and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno , Franco Colombu and other bodybuilders were Gods and idols people looked up to 🙂😁. The golden era of bodybuilding and the old fashioned muscular physique was unique back then ! 😁💪🏻
he was ahead of the game in every way possible.. no internet , social media be showed the way!
Like him or hate him, you can't deny Arnold is a very remarkable man. He is one of those people who can say he really has seen it all, done it all. Self made millionaire, one of the greatest bodybuilding champions of all time and helped bring lifting weights for exercise into the mainstream, at one time one of the biggest names in Hollywood, built his own political brand and achieved national office. His only real mistake in life was not being able to keep it in his pants.
Give the guy a break, he had to create the perfect heir before retiring his seed. Have you seen his illegitimate son? Spitting image of the guy.
GreatIntellect13 That's not his son. That's his clone. I'm sure of it.
+Adrijana Radosevic Ask Arnold's bank account
Lou was a mammoth, I didn't realize how big that dude was.
+Adrijana Radosevic I have to admit, I did chuckle at that part. Arnold didn't put up any legal fight at first because he thought his ex wouldn't go after his money since, after all, she is a wealthy individual herself. But she took him for all she could, an even if he is not destitute, you could tell how much it surprised him. Hell hath no fury, after all.
11:35 Arnold yells "speech" because he knows Lou is shy... damn Arny you're mean dude!
Tryna get in his head
Arnhold had a rep for getting inside of competitor's heads
Did him dirty lol 💀💀
Some lady was the first one to yell speech. This was post competition and Arnold already announced his retirement so there was no need to get in his head
And Lou was like “ I got nothing to say I wanna eat my cake”
The scenes of arnold having breakfast with lou and his parents was brutal , savagely talked down to him right in his face and his parents face "should of waited one more year , your still not ready , no where near in shape , but okay lets do it"
The Incredible Hulk was so shy and quiet when Arnold was trolling him lol so funny 😂
He kinda looks like that guy from the terminator
I know right?
Weird
the terminator looks like him
ikr
Not really sure he was being sarcastic😬 But he is correct lol
This is how confidence works man I need to watch this over and over confidence is key to all
Herakles can't learn confidence. You are born with it or not. If you're not born with it then most of the times you'll just be cocky who is secretly insecure
lol no, confidence is based on experiences and subjective to everything. You can be confident in one thing and inconfident in another. Confidence is just like intelligence the more you work hard to obtain your goal the sooner you will get what you want. Anyone can be smart and anyone can be confident.
Herakles must be pretty easy for him looking like that.
Arnold had moments where his confidence faltered and it cost him. But he learned. And even if was sometimes just an act, he never let that image go again.
Herakl
It's so cool to see these guys just joking around at the gym while lifting some weights and having the most impressive human physiques ever.
Lou Ferrigno was a mountain and could have easily won mr Olympia. Arnold proves to us how much confidence can change any situation. Unfortunately Lou was psyched out by Arnold and lost something he could have easily won.
Probably also helped that he was Weider's golden boy & Weider had the ears of those who counted
To this day... Arnold’s physic is one of the most aesthetically pleasing and perfect of all time. Proportions and overall looks. Austrian Oak
Bruh you‘re delusional. Frank Zane exists you know, he’s the aesthetic god. Literally the most symmetrical and eye pleasing physique of all time.

@@drinkthekoolaidkids even though Sergio oliva was way better built than him.
@@fathel9221 you are correct , but Sergio wasnt the chosen one
First Last this film isn’t how these body builders used to act. A lot of it is overly dramatic. Arnold came out with interviews saying that they wanted him to play the role of the villain while lou is the victim. They were scared a documentary about guys just lifting weights wouldn’t sell good so they made drama around it. Sorry but most of it is fake ruclips.net/video/mNHy8OrjhaY/видео.html
Crazy man I just said the same thing, I thought his personality was like the terminator for whatever reason lol.
Thank you for including me in this
Arnold was by far the smartest of the lot, he just got in their heads and played them all like fools. A big reason he often beat them. There was more to it than just getting into shape physically.
Imagine going to a forgien country, learning a new language, getting famous for lifting weights, becoming the highest paid movie star, then becoming governor of the biggest state in that country. Arnold is a god amongst men

pathetic
I like how they were still playing mind games after the competition in the bus scene. Arnold was saying how he was going to go to Lou’s house and his mom was going to make him dinner (he didn’t ask, he just said it was going to happen) and how he was gone get with his sister. Lou then tried to psych Arnold out by taking off his jacket, but obviously it didn’t work 😂
competitiors but they all loved each other at heart. sometimes rivalaries build the best friendships
