On this episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha put on their old Gold's Gym shirts and short shorts to revisit 1978's PUMPING IRON starring ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, FRANCO COLUMBO, and LOU FERRIGNO. This groundbreaking documentary launched the world of bodybuilding and fitness into the mainstream and began the Austrian Oak's ascendancy to superstardom with Lou Ferrigno also landing the role of the Hulk in THE INCREDIBLE HULK series. Steve and John discuss the influence the film had on them as young men, if the documentary holds up, the sadistic genius of Schwarzenegger and separate fact from fiction in this episode of The Cine-Files!
