[180][210] Pig iron - Steel and beyond
[240][309] 2002. Prilisa. Arnold Schwarzenegger starts filming Terminator 3: The Machines.
[310][377]The Terminator sequel is one of the most expensive films of all time.
[380][419] 55-year-old Arnold is one of the highest-paid Hollywood movie stars,
[420][459]but its influence on films goes beyond the numbers.
[460][508]� Undoubtedly, it changed the image of the action film genre.
[520][539] SMITH
[540][559] WESSON
[556][580] and n.
[590][629]Today's audience expects characters to be larger than life.
[630][669] But Arnold was big and in some ways bigger.
[670][689]Shall we start strengthening? !
[690][699]Make lying columns.
[700][735]Watch how he does the layups.
[740][759]You are doing very well, very well.
[760][816]He earned a prominent place, himself, as the father of the body research wave.
[820][869]His face appeared in thousands of magazines in hundreds of languages ​​around the world.
[870][919] He almost introduced the muscles to mass culture by the force of his personality.
[920][949]He knew how to enchant people.
[950][989] It is interesting that he changed the culture with this.
[990][1042]Arnold is an icon who always wins.
[1110][1169]But despite the fact that he gained great fame and fortune, it is easy to forget that it all started with an independent documentary film
[1170][1222] in 1977, entitled "Ac�lizom".
[1230][1299]The film presents a character that commands respect in every respect, like the Terminator or Conan, which he will later become.
[1300][1352]This character was Arnold Schwarzenegger himself.
[1354][1385] What we did created the story of the body examination.
[1390][1465] and we were given the opportunity to explore this subculture and present it in its true form.
[1470][1529]Before "Ac�lizom", body research had its own image problems.
[1530][1569] They didn't take the bodyguards seriously, they only depicted them in comics.
[1570][1619]"... haven't had biceps like this since Popey finished the last box of pancakes. .."
[1620][1699]They were branded as such dangerous guys who manage their complexes in dark corners.
[1700][1739]In other words... they are strange and old.
[1760][1799] But the director George Butler challenged the outdated stereotypes.
[1800][1839] and instead of them, he gave something to the study of the body - personalities.
[1840][1879]Of course, she didn't know yet that she was born to a star like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
[1880][1939]I remember watching movies when I was a child and thinking - I love this funny accent, incredibly big guy.
[1940][2009]I saw him compete and saw these incredible people playing psychological games with each other - it was overwhelming.
[2010][2046] I'm watching you, I'm watching you too.
[2070][2099] I am not nervous at all.
[2100][2139] Naturally, this was due to the Air Force and Arnold's personal charm.
[2140][2179]Can you imagine the feeling of being a 6-time Mr. Olympia?
[2180][2249]In the past, everyone believed that the perfect body was just - muscle, muscle and muscle.
[2250][2312]But "Ac�lizom" showed that these people are charismatic and entertaining.
[2330][2369]Just as boxing had a Muhammad Ali and bodybuilding had an Arnold.
[2370][2389] It was controversial.
[2390][2439]For me, the ring is like sex with a woman and orgasm.
[2440][2459]It was charming.
[2460][2479]What do you think?
[2480][2509]Can you do it?
[2510][2579] and as Ali used to say, he sold not only his physique, but also his personality.
[2580][2609]Do you train every day?
[2610][2649]I train 6 times a week with shorts, and I run 3 times a week.
[2650][2718]I also do other exercises that I don't talk about in front of people.
[2720][2734]You like...
[2740][2809]But "Ac�lizom" did more than popularize bodybuilding, it was the main driving force of the Fitness revolution.
[2810][2829]At the end of the 70s, at the beginning of the 80s
[2830][2909]those Americans who were intrigued by the muscles seen in "Ac�lisom" started going to gyms.
[2910][2959]The gym became the first meeting place for friends.
[2960][3019] But it was the last year where they could meet the other wives.
[3020][3039] This had never happened before, but now it happened.
[3040][3125] The guys said - maybe it's good, I'll spend my time here, it's very good, the men get in shape and then show their strength.
[3140][3189]But when America started going to the gym, Arnold disappeared.
[3190][3209]He came up with an unexpected plan.
[3210][3259]He gets out of prison and goes to famous Hollywood.
[3260][3309]I like to play, who knows, and maybe I can start a career as a woman.
[3310][3329]This was a bold move.
[3330][3399]He had huge muscles, which helped him win bodybuilding competitions, but which had nothing to do with the typical Hollywood look.
[3400][3479]CONVERSATION WITH THE WOMAN (1976): This is interesting, because I see you are not the kind of guy who would appear in a TV show.
[3480][3534]The fact is that you are limited by your body.
[3540][3579]Before that, the public knew that the horse was big and strong,
[3580][3606]because the script said so.
[3610][3649]I remember when I started my female career in the 50s.
[3650][3701]Not many actors trained, if at all.
[3710][3769]They shaped their own image by how they walked, killed the horse, etc...
[3770][3860]In the 1950s and 1960s, men could avoid death because they knew that Superman had muscles and so on. are.
[3910][3949]When Arnold was thinking about how to make it to Hollywood,
[3950][4019]Director John Milius wondered how he could bring Conan to life using a body image.
[4020][4049]For Arnold, the opportunity came at the best time.
[4050][4102]If we didn't have Arnold, we would have to create him.
[4120][4169]Arnold suddenly appeared as a star in a big-budget Hollywood movie.
[4170][4199]But that big muscle was not enough.
[4200][4249]He had to go to vocational school, learn to ride a horse, and take fencing and pronunciation lessons.
[4250][4268]3333 �s 1/3
[4288][4308]The best wine is from the wine.
[4310][4362]He did not doubt many things.
[4430][4439]How can I get there?
[4440][4479]We will get there if we climb the mountain.
[4500][4549]Conan the Barbarian was a huge success and the women understood it.
[4550][4640] He certainly didn't look like a bodybuilding champion, but he wanted to keep in shape.
[4656][4690]Arnold was in great shape and set the bar higher and higher.
[4700][4779]We tried to think of films, costumes, and clothes that could suit such a big man.
[4780][4799]YET BACK!
[4800][4859]The point was that a measure had to be set if we wanted to present something on the screen.
[4860][4908]That had to be difficult without the help of a stuntman.
[4910][4959] Before the performance and after, the belly no longer had to tuck in the belly.
[4960][4990]Let's start playing.
[5010][5069]In the 1980s, many movies were made about muscular men.
[5070][5115]Women grew up in the 70s, when looks didn't matter.
[5130][5189]We were action heroes of a new era, showing everyone our well-developed bodies.
[5190][5259]I liked their appearance, as I could appreciate the effort that went into making them look that way.
[5280][5309]People want to see a big movie with fast action.
[5310][5379]When we just look at him and say wow, he uses his strength for fighting and other things.
[5380][5419]I think there were films that glorified masculinity.
[5420][5439]I know it is definitely inspired.
[5440][5487]Because there was a guy there who kicked ass.
[5490][5529]First of all, it was the Predator monster.
[5530][5539]Especially at the end of the scene.
[5540][5569]Come on, kill me, I'm here, kill me, do it!
[5570][5599]"... let's meet, I'm here..."
[5600][5629]That was fantastic.
[5680][5729]Being strong and muscular now was not only good, but great.
[5730][5789]Being a tough guy has become trendy among the younger generation who grew up on action movies.
[5790][5819]We are strong, and you are a loser!
[5820][5859]I think people were overwhelmed by the movie that featured tough guys.
[5880][5909]Hey Arnold, check this out!
[5910][5929]Or this!
[5930][5959]Boy, if I look there, I have to cry.
[5960][5996]This is what must be done!
[6010][6039]One day, everyone is in shape.
[6040][6069]Suddenly a woman in her early 70s from a shabby gym
[6070][6099]It became a multi-billion business.
[6100][6157]The simple common man wanted to be as if he had been carved out of secret.
[6170][6219]The muscle mass was studied in fitness centers filled with chrome-plated machines.
[6220][6279]Muscle growth and physical condition have become important.
[6280][6299]It was important for them to be proud of their bodies.
[6300][6359]A lot of people wanted to be as muscular as Arnold Schwarzenegger, but they didn't want to be Mr. Olympia.
[6360][6409]They just wanted to get out and started going to the gym.
[6410][6447]They wanted to be in shape.
[6460][6489]and not only the men were strong.
[6490][6539]Muscular women also started appearing in action movies.
[6540][6589]People appeared in fashion magazines more and more often in their white clothes.
[6590][6649]Musical icons began to emerge, their trainers wanted them to be thin and elaborate.
[6650][6699] Those athletes who have trained their muscles for many years appeared in a better light,
[6700][6754]because they became stronger and better.
[6760][6829]The body therapists trained several boxers, as well as tennis, basketball and even golfers.
[6830][6869]The Olympic team also employed professional bodybuilding coaches.
[6870][6919]More than one athlete thought that it was not recommended for older people to lift their hips, because they could get a heart attack.
[6920][6929]Finally,
[6930][6999] that strength training strengthens the heart and bones, increases flexibility and balance.
[7000][7039]It also helps diabetics and those suffering from depression.
[7033][7115]How many people wanted training programs, effective strength training and aerobic exercise or other diets.
[7120][7159]Arnold used these things already in the 60s and 70s.
[7160][7209] Body research, which was initially the culture of the aliens, suddenly became part of our culture.
[7210][7269]It is almost unbelievable to remember the times when hard training was considered something bizarre.
[7270][7299] made obstacles socially acceptable.
[7300][7339]"Ac�lizom" was a major breakthrough in history.
[7340][7379]I didn't think it would bring such a change, it completely surprised me.
[7380][7429]I could say that I foresaw that this would happen, but that is not true.
[7430][7529]Like now, as I remember the old days when I talked about it, do you think I know how this happened? How did this come true?
[7530][7579]In the next part, I will watch the film that launched Arnold Schwarzenegger's film career.
[7580][7624] and started the fitness revolution.
[7640][7659] AC�LYZOM
[7660][7699]We present the film shooting process,
[7720][7769]with special, never-seen-before scenes.
[7770][7789] with new interviews with the film's cast and crew.
[7790][7839]When I first saw the film, I was in a state of shock.
[7840][7886]� was unassailable in the way he tried 
[7890][7919]find your opponents weakness.
[7920][7939] and then strictly exploited them.
[7940][7959]This may be a mistake.
[7960][7989]and now the documentary that started it all,
[7990][8009]reformed and recorded.
[8010][8043] AC�LYZOM
[8590][8629]More than 100 pieces of material were used to make "Steel Muscle".
[8630][8669]Cinemax had several thousand meters of unused film tape.
[8670][8727] Much of this material has never been published.
[8760][8786]Come on!
[8790][8839] Long before "Ac�lizom" became part of the fitness umbrella,
[8840][8869]it was just a low-budget documentary,
[8870][8899]which became a classic.
[8900][8919]For the 25th anniversary of the film
[8920][8959]Cinemax presents the story of creation.
[8960][9009]The film introduces us to the world of a 28-year-old charismatic world champion bodybuilder,
[9010][9039]who is known as Arnold.
[9040][9079]With scenes never seen in the film.
[9080][9119]The only thing missing is Arnold's gibberish.
[9120][9149] and the commentaries of the film's producers and collaborators
[9150][9179]25 years after the end of the film.
[9180][9219]When I first saw the film, I was in a state of shock.
[9220][9239]This may be a mistake.
[9240][9269]It took a lot of effort to make this film
[9270][9289]�and people laughed at us.
[9290][9329]This movie shows the sweat, the muscle pain and the glory
[9330][9359] in the golden age of body research.
[9360][9406] Raw iron - the story of the creation of "Ac�lizom"
[9480][9509]February, Ohio State, Columbia.
[9510][9539]Arnold Schwarzenegger is coming to town for the Arnold Classic.
[9540][9579]The bodybuilding competition has been held every year since 1989,
[9580][9644] and is a serious competitor for Mr. Olympia.
[9680][9729]Body research has come a long way since the publication of "Ac�lizom" in 1977.
[9730][9749]There is more competition than ever.
[9750][9769]Like silence.
[9770][9819]The Arnold Classic is like a fantastic rock concert
[9820] [9849] and the corporal punishments are like the stars.
[9850][9889]Currently, there are more than 175,000 bodies in the world.
[9890][9929]competes in 169 countries.
[9930][9989] Today, Schwarzenegger will award the winner more than $400,000 in prize money.
[9990][10038]But he also misses his old friends.
[10040][10079]The many real bodybuilders from the "Ac�lizom" era.
[10075][]Bill Grant
[10086][]Ed Corney
[10104][]Mike Katz
[10120][10139]Franco Columbu
[10135][]�s Lou Ferrigno
[10150][10169]Hey, nice to see you, you look great.
[10170][10189]We were brothers.
[10190][10209]we helped each other, we trained together,
[10210][10229]we were like a family.
[10230][10239]Where is your son, Michael?
[10240][10249]It's there.
[10250][10281]Michael, come here.
[10290][10299]How are you? Are you coming?
[10300][10309]As you can see, it is a sign.
[10310][10359]I saw you 25 years ago in "Ac�lizom", when you were 3 years old.
[10360][10379] and he showed you how to poop, do you remember?
[10380][10409]Hey, it's hard, hold the muscle, how hard it is.
[10410][10439]You are still so big, what happened?
[10440][10459]I still have it after 25 years.
[10460][10469]Can you believe this?
[10470][10499]"Ac�lizom" changed my life.
[10500][10539]and will he give him a very bad lesson?
[10540][10579]It is not difficult for me to give him bad advice.
[10580][10609]Now he only gives very good advice.
[10610][10647]It was so fun and energetic.
[10650][10684]Stay with me.
[10710][10719]That was wonderful.
[10720][10774]I remember when you said, how my mother talked about "coming back"
[10780][10789]and now he spoke, only in the training room
[10790][10809]how to get out of this mess
[10810][10839]He couldn't upset me then, just like he can't now.
[10840][10859]So everything is the same, nothing has changed.
[10860][10919]When I think of "Ac�lizom" in 1975, when they started shooting the film
[10920][10957]I miss it.
[10990][11029]Before "Ac�lizom", they were known as Austrian Oak,
[11030][11099]but he was not well known outside of bodybuilding competitions.
[11100][11169]It was a small, modest world with 300 people who came to compete that night,
[11170][11199]but they told me about Arnold Schwarzenegger.
[11200][11219]� was king among 300 people.
[11220][11248] - oh my God!
[11250][11289]But Arnold hasn't charmed the world yet.
[11290][11319]Photographer George Butler and photographer Charles Gaines
[11320][11349]were overwhelmed by the bodies,
[11350][11379] and together they created a book called "Ac�lizom".
[11380][11409]Which presented a young Austrian bodybuilder.
[11410][11429]Butler wanted to shoot a film in it,
[11430][11469]but Arnold wanted to withdraw from the body inspection.
[11470][11489]When Arnold arrived in America in 1968
[11490][11539]For 5 consecutive years he won the biggest bodybuilding title, Mister Olympia
[11540][11559]�and he had enough.
[11560][11579]George Butler came to me and said:
[11580][11629]I have an idea that we could make a movie, but it will only come true if you are in it
[11630][11659]if you stop racing now, you will never finish.
[11660][11689] Butler knew that anatomy is a private world,
[11690][11709]must be presented in its entirety for the film to be impressive.
[11710][11762]But how do we find sponsors? It will be hard...
[11790][11809]Besides, this was still in the 70s
[11810][11849] in the age of the rebels of the cultural revolution.
[11850][11879]The last thing anyone thought about was those muscular people.
[11880][11949]It was a big decision for me to overcome the obstacles that stood in front of Arnold Schwarzenegger
[11950][11989]in an age when the slim figure was in fashion.
[11990][12016]The thinness.
[12030][12049]I knew deep down that
[12050][12119]in history there was at least one athlete who became known throughout the world.
[12120][12179]Eugene Sandow became one of the highest paid people in the entertainment industry at the turn of the century.
[12180][12199]Charles Atlas in the 20s and 30s.
[12200][12249]Steve Reeves in the 50s, whom I also saw in movies.
[12250][12279]After he convinced Arnold to try to win the Mr. Olympia title once more,
[12280][12329]beginning director George Butler started filming his first film.
[12330][12362]Do you have the picture?  J�.
[12370][12399]Only then pay attention to these two here.
[12400][12439]The plan was simple, to present the intensive training before Mister Olympia
[12440][12459]then film the competition itself.
[12460][12489]Just let the story unfold in front of the camera.
[12490][12519]In the beginning, the film was prepared for the supporters.
[12520][12569]This was the first recording of "Ac�lizom".
[12570][12634]Arnold pumps up his muscles before going to the bench to take a nap.
[12650][12679]Arnold, when will you be president?
[12680][12709]When I removed Nixon
[12710][12729]Azt
[12730][12749]The pressure is too much, you know?
[12750][12789]I have been competing for 10 years
[12790][12819]after 10 years I had enough of my feelings
[12820][12849]Opportunity must be given to others
[12850][12869]Simply
[12870][12899]I always win - yes
[12900][12919]Do you think Louie (Ferrgino) can beat you?
[12920][12939]That is not possible
[12940][12971]There is no such possibility
[12980][13025]From 1970 I was invincible for many years
[13030][13069]and there was no hope of being treated.
[13070][13079]There were no opportunities.
[13080][13119]I knew that as soon as I got my title
[13120][13171]no one can take that away from me.
[13180][13199]But if you were sure that Arnold would win
[13200][13219]where is the dramaturgy?
[13220][13239]where is the conflict?
[13240][13279]Each film presents a hero who fights against opponents.
[13280][13309]Butler had to realize this...
[13310][13329]I wanted to find a great opponent for Arnold
[13330][13359]and then Loui Ferrigno appeared from Brooklyn, New York 
[13360][13403]with a height of 194 cm and a weight of 125 kg.
[13410][13471]Joe Wider, the editor of Muscle, has seen it before.
[13480][13519]According to another story, Arnold's competition lost its freshness,
[13520][13549]but the idea that the Mister Olympia title Loui and Arnold will attack
[13550][13569]it was ideal
[13570][13616] and it can have a favorable effect on the circulation of the paper.
[13620][13666]In 1974, he won the Mr. Universe title in Italy.
[13670][13739]When Weider returned, I remember him saying it was as if he had breathed fresh air.
[13737][13758]There is a new champion on the horizon
[13760][13779]I had to motivate him somehow.
[13780][13809]When I went down to the gym, I saw him squatting with 225 kilos.
[13810][13829] and asked: - what does Joe think?
[13830][13859] and I answered: - it might be better.
[13860][13879]He got angry.
[13880][13949]Yes, and he created everything, and I think that was good, because people loved him.
[13950][13979]and this is exactly reflected in "Ac�lizom" as well.
[13980][14039]In those photos not used in "Ac�lizom", Weider and Schwarzenegger discuss the championship
[14040][14079]possibility of losing the title due to the increasingly motivated Ferrigno.
[14080][14109]He saw Lou a few days ago in New York,
[14110][14119]and what did he look like?
[14120][14139]It seems very strong to me.
[14140][14169] was my example in the physical examination.
[14170][14239]Of course, if we have an example like Arnold and we want to beat him, then we have to be in the best shape.
[14240][14269]Look ahead to Africa!
[14270][14279]Great.
[14280][14299]As far as I'm concerned, it's big enough.
[14300][14329]Butler found the opponent.
[14330][14379]No one conquered 1969, so why did you suddenly take my title away?
[14380][14389]I don't know, he trains really hard.
I didn't see it on [14390][14399].
[14400][14419]� big and elaborate, what you.
[14420][14429]No.
[14430][14469]What happens if you lose?
[14490][14529]In order for the filmmakers to proceed according to the script, the conflict had to be "blown up".
[14530][14549]This is Loui for the big kids.
[14550][14619]During a documentary film is overwhelming because I can do something with real people,
[14620][14639]what the Russians imagined.
[14640][14709]By creating dialogue between the characters, the film becomes more and more interesting.
[14710][14749]If this was only about sports, which took 10 minutes to present, then they would have seen everything.
[14750][14799]But if they notice the peculiarities, then we can follow...
[14800][14819]The sale is ready.
[14820][14859]"The Golden King against the Dark Prince".
[14890][14939]At that time I was in a blind spot, as I was training alone in Brooklyn.
[14940][14959]Brooklyn vs Venice California.
[14960][14979]A special beach town.
[14980][15032]Refuge for artists and hippies, loan sharks and strangers.
[15040][15069]From a certain point of view, a successful body search.
[15070][15089]If this sport had any focus,
[15090][15109]then it was the legendary Gold's Gym,
[15110][15129] where the shooting of the film began.
[15130][15139]Do it Franco.
[15140][15169]What is this fart.
[15170][15199]Franco from the side and not from the front.
[15200][15239]Yes, a little change and much better.
[15260][15319] Listen Franco, if you show a side shot, you have to do it so that the front part stands out.
[15320][15362]and if you don't like it, don't show it.
[15390][15409]There was camaraderie, which was wonderful.
[15410][15429]We trained together,
[15430][15459]we went to the Gold gym together at 10 in the morning.
[15460][15499]and the energy created in that 465 square meter training room,
[15500][15529]would be enough to light up Los Angeles.
[15530][15559]This was the Mecca of physical examination.
[15560][15619]When I arrived, it was just a small gym on the beach,
[15620][15639]which was no bigger than the YMCA club where I started.
[15640][15667]It was like a family home.
[15670][15689] and there was only basic training equipment.
[15690][15719]This was the only place for us, it was our house.
[15720][15777]People didn't accept what we did and didn't hurt us,
[15780][15819]that's why we talked about creating "Ac�lizom" so that people can see
[15820][15839]that we are not just big guys with huge muscles.
[15840][15859]We all behaved well.
[15860][15913]We trained together, we ate together, we improvised together.
[15930][15959]We flexed our muscles during the day at Gold's on the beach
[15960][15989]And we rested at night.
[15990][16009]Often in Arnold's apartment in Santa Monica...
[16010][16039]Gentlemen, the most important guest has arrived.
[16040][16059]The camera did not stop.
[16060][16091]Mr.Universe 1975.
[16100][16129]I'm ready for Mr.World,
[16130][16149]Robby Robinson.
[16150][16169]Wait a minute, show them two glasses!
[16170][16199]Biceps fire, directly for the ladies.
[16200][16233]Come on, show me!
[16240][16267]We are curious.
[16320][16349]Okay, where's the champagne?
[16350][16415]Actually, the 70s and 80s were the most beautiful years of my life.
[16420][16449]However, we did not have a fictional story,
[16450][16479]and everyone was wondering what would come out of this.
[16480][16509]Those guys, Butler and Gaines, who made the movie
[16510][16529]they became members of our family.
[16530][16549]We trusted us.
[16550][16579]Day after day, one scene after another. 
[16580][16599]Butler and co-director Robert Fiore
[16600][16639]they shot the material for the films continuously, which had to be edited later.
[16640][16699]I still remember when this group of nobles ordered a noble lunch.
[16700][16759]We went to the hall like ordinary people, like normal boys.
[16760][16799]We sat at the table and people looked at us strangely.
[16800][16819]Who are these guests?
[16820][16829]Oh my God!!!
[16830][16849]Rich steak.
[16850][16869] Scrambled eggs
[16870][16879]6 eggs.
[16880][16917] A steak or two and pancakes.
[16920][16949]Oh my God, look who they are?
[16948][16994]He's eating 3 hamburgers at once, my god, who is this gladi�tor?
[16995][17030]They couldn't find out who we were. I love this scene.
[17030][17049]�and this shocked people.
[17050][17089]Filmmakers sometimes provoked situations because they saw what would happen.
[17090][17119]We tried to do different things.
[17120][17159]They took Schwarzenegger and Mike Katz to the amusement park.
[17160][17199]Hey, there's a statue of Mike.
[17200][17230]You look good Mike.
[17290][17319]Shooting: Arnold in the acupuncture salon.
[17320][17329]What is this?
[17330][17349]Let's work up your muscles.
[17350][17379]Good night then.
[17380][17389]They cut it in the hairdresser's.
[17390][17419]Ask her what kind of clothes she is wearing.
[17420][17439]What kind of clothes do you wear during the competition?
[17440][17459]A little modest jumpsuit.
[17460][17469]Can you tell me something about your goals?
[17470][17489]No.
[17490][17509]Win.
[17510][17529]I'll call you later.
[17530][17559]We even filmed during photography.
[17560][17589]The material that showed Arnold's motivation was collected all the time
[17590][17599] and nature.
[17600][17639]Like the scene that showed the fantasy of his big eyes.
[17640][17689]I have been world champion so many times that now I love...
[17690][17729]You know, we want to be the best at something else.
[17730][17739]For example, in what?
[17740][17769]You want to be loved.
[17770][17809]They said it will take a lot of effort to make the film really good.
[17810][17829] and be interesting.
[17830][17869]Not only for the criminals, but also for ordinary people.
[17870][17899]In order to make this happen and give Butler's film Hollywood dimensions,
[17900][17919] told Bud Cort about his plans.
[17920][17969]For the young movie star who appeared in movies like MASH, Brewster McCloud or Harold �s Maude.
[17970][18009]I have never seen so many big people in my life.
[18010][18039]I also go to the gym to stimulate my blood circulation.
[18040][18089]The only thing I do is drive and yell at the girls.
[18090][18132]you mean ... I want to stimulate my blood circulation.
[18150][18179]The idea was to send Bud together with Arnold to the bodybuilding champions.
[18180][18219]When should you take a break from sitting? When do I get up? Or after?
[18220][18239]I know what this is, but I hate it.
[18240][18249]My neck is cracking.
[18250][18281]When should you breathe?
[18290][18319] and departure, etc.
[18320][18349]He was very funny, but he loved the trainers.
[18350][18409]All you have to do is imagine that you are training hard and your legs start to wear out.
[18410][18439]Don't try to explain this psychological crap to me, don't do this to me.
[18440][18459]Fuck me, I feel like my leg hurts - you hear me!
[18460][18479]But during the rotation of the whole material,
[18480][18519]Bad felt that they were very different from the main line of the film.
[18520][18539]I think this is all bullshit.
Also on [18540][18567]...
[18580][18629]Bad challenged and asked the producers of the film to return the payment to the film.
[18630][18649]So that we can finish it.
[18650][18699]I told him that one day I would buy all the filmed material,
[18700][18719]�and I put it back in the film.
[18720][18759]Now people can finally see...
[18770][18779]I will show you one more exercise.
[18780][18799]OK.
[18800][18829]We recorded a scene from "Izom-skýln".
[18830][18879]This Malibu is in the canyon, at the top of the most beautiful...
[18880][18909]The sun was particularly hot for photography.
[18910][18949]and we went there with the whole team of cameramen.
[18950][18959]In these unused scenes
[18960][19009]Arnold and his colleagues practiced their moves for the upcoming competition in South Africa.
[19010][19029]If Loui is going to come with this...
[19030][19059]Then I will show you this.
[19060][19079]Can we do this?
[19080][19089]Won't Loui downvote this?
[19090][19109]Maybe, but �ed
[19110][19139]Arnold can do that.
[19140][19159]You know what I mean? THEY.
[19160][19209]It is true that none of this made it into the film, but I think it was a fantastic scene,
[19210][19239]when we were all drinking at the same time with my friends.
[19240][19249]J�.
[19250][19269]Not bad, this is great.
[19270][19312]Is no one watching your feet?
[19320][19339]Later I thought why I didn't write that material, it was that...
[19340][19379]When we shot the film, they wanted to impress the big competition.
[19380][19429]This is Arnold's film, and the most important thing is to win over everyone.
[19430][19469] and the reason for it all was the bodybuilding competition
[19470][19505] and the conflict with Lou Ferrigno.
[19520][19539]As long as it is in shape
[19540][19559]it's okay
[19560][19579]I think he is in shape.
[19580][19623]The camera crew traveled to New York.
[19640][19669]For entertainment and fun, close to Gold's Gym,
[19670][19702]Brooklyn was in a prison.
[19710][19759]Lou was filmed in a basement gym in Brooklyn.
[19760][19799]Then we cut to Arnold Schwarzenegger basking in the sun
[19800][19859]on Venice Beach next to the gym, my dreams were swaying in the wind.
[19860][19899]In contrast to the cheerful optimism of Arnold and his friends
[19900][19929]Loui was as serious as a heart attack.
[19930][19959]In New York at that time, people were dressed up.
[19960][19999]Everyone in the gym was at least 3 times smaller than her.
[20000][20019]They were not compared to body banks.
[20020][20079]In one of the scenes, as I pass by, I see a guy raising glasses.
[20080][20109] and my father wanted me to have some motivation.
[20110][20159]One of the motivations was when I printed the skirt I had to shout Arnold's name.
[20160][20189]- Arnold!, Arnold, Arnold!
[20190][20199]I shouted Arnold, Arnold.
[20200][20219]Arnold!
[20220][20249]I really wanted to beat Arnold Schwarzenegger.
[20250][20289]Butler found not only an opponent in Ferrigno,
[20290][20326]but also disability.
[20330][20359]Hearing impaired and under the supervision of a domineering father
[20360][20379]Loui had money to lose.
[20380][20399] But Butler invented...,
[20400][20449] that Matty Ferrigno could help his son in his bodybuilding career.
[20450][20459]Take it fast - come on, come on
[20460][20509]Actually, my father never dealt with anatomy.
[20510][20529]But the filmmakers wanted him to be in the film.
[20530][20549]they thought it would be nice to see father and son.
[20550][20606]In the film, Matty Ferrigno is the best married father.
[20610][20659] and Matty had an exact plan of what Loui should do.
[20660][20679]This was only a role in my eyes.
[20680][20739]My son, when you step on the bench, remember the exhausting workouts in the gym.
[20740][20769]and now you are here, the reward is waiting for you, and you want it too, you certainly deserve it.
[20770][20809]It got into my head that this is my last chance.
[20810][20839]You can see in one of the scenes
[20840][20875]I am lifting a 45-kilogram dumbbell.
[20920][20939]I can't take it anymore.
[20940][20969]At the end my father said: "son, what is this training"
[20970][20999]Son, what is this training.
[21000][21029]Because in a few scenes he raised a knife.
[21030][21039]� He is tired of it.
[21040][21059]Look at your arms, as if they are drowning,
[21060][21079]�and then BOOM!
[21080][21099]As if to say: "Look at this!"
[21100][21129]Something like that, huh? Try it.
[21130][21149]He tried very hard.
[21150][21179]At that time I had a problem with my speech.
[21180][21219] and I was not able to represent myself properly, my father tried to be my voice.
[21220][21295]The close relationship between father and son gave the film unexpected commercial richness.
[21300][21319]When Matty humiliated Arnold
[21320][21339]he also humiliated the boy.
[21340][21369]There is only one thing you can think about, defeating that German.
[21370][21379]You must defeat Arnold.
[21380][21399]He has been on the line for too long.
[21400][21442]9 You've been waiting for this moment. Right?
[21460][21489]Take care, he will use all the tricks.
[21490][21529]When he sees that you look a little better, he starts combining something.
[21530][21569]He tries to look better, - watch his every move.
[21570][21589]Avoid talking to him.
[21590][21609]I often wanted to say:
[21610][21629]"Allow me to stand up for myself"
[21630][21649]"Please allow me to be myself".
[21650][21689]This is not the way I wanted to present it, this is not the way I wanted it to be in the film.
[21690][21699]Look at them!
[21700][21709]Of course.
[21710][21719]This worked for me.
[21720][21739]No, no, look Loui!
[21740][21769]That wasn't me...
[21770][21801]I was disappointed in him.
[21930][21959]When Butler prepared and processed the material,
[21960][21979]combined facts with fictions,
[21980][21999] presented the nature of his cheese,
[22000][22029]expressing himself.
[22060][22089]Charismatic champion
[22090][22109] and the one who failed.
[22110][22139]Butler also introduced the secondary characters.
[22140][22149]The tyrant.
[22150][22169]The married man.
[22170][22179]The master of smoking.
[22180][22199]Arnold's friend, Franco Columbut.
[22200][22239]It was not so easy to determine the winner.
[22240][22309]and in 1975, the team went to visit Franco in his small kingdom of Sardinia to see if anything was going to happen.
[22310][22319]"A lot happened"
[22320][22349]An unforgettable event in the film was interesting.
[22350][22379]There are 2,000 people in my town.
[22380][22399]While everyone is in town.
[22400][22443]and all of a sudden they came to film.
[22450][22459]My ears.
[22460][22519]What could we do in that town, if there was nothing to do in that town, I could only go and drive carts.
[22520][22575]And I did it because I could do it in front of the camera? I pulled out a car by myself.
[22640][22669]My father watched this,
[22670][22716] and he said that this woman is my son and lifts cars.
[22740][22769]Another memorable moment was the cold shirt incident,
[22770][22809]when Ken Waller tried to upset his opponent Mike Katz
[22810][22819]tucking his shirt.
[22820][22859]Haven't you seen a blue sky somewhere?
[22860][22889]It is true that the filmmakers filmed more than what is visible.
[22890][22919]I think about the part in the film,
[22920][22939] the filmmakers needed a good guy and a bad guy,
[22940][22949]for something to happen in the film.
[22950][22989]Do you know what I will do when I get to Africa? I take Katz's shirt and hide it.
[22990][23019]I did the same, tucked the shirt away.
[23020][23069]We saw Waller take Katz's shirt and followed.
[23070][23099]Let's face it, I think this was part of my nature,
[23100][23119]but I always thought it was a joke.
[23120][23159]I knew that Mike was my friend, my old friend, and I didn't want to hurt him.
[23160][23199]At that time, I didn't think that they would make a big deal out of this in the film.
[23200][23219]But you learn from mistakes.
[23220][23271]After the incident, I went up to the bench and got a BOOO....
[23310][23359]and then there was Schwarzenegger himself, who was extremely confident at that time.
[23360][23399]His goal was to highlight his personality in front of the cameras.
[23400][23459]I was like a machine that appeared and no one could stop it.
[23460][23499]I have to forget my feelings and be cold.
[23500][23529]No feelings, no feelings.
[23530][23589]I want to be the best and I am ready to overcome all obstacles.
[23590][23609]To surprise all opponents,
[23610][23649] tried to weaken their confidence with a smile on his face.
[23650][23669]I'm not nervous at all...
[23670][23709]The whole time I tried to look like a...
[23710][23729]great figure.
[23730][23769]Franco is smart, but Franco is still a child.
[23770][23789]For me, this was unimportant.
[23790][23839] It didn't matter to me what he said, if I'm on the bench, I'll show that I'm the best.
[23840][23869] and I still believe that I am as good as Arnold.
[23870][23919]On the bench, on that Mr. Olympia night, it might even be a little better.
[23920][23939]But it doesn't matter if he wins or I win.
[23940][23959]Can I be almost with you?
[23960][23979]� It was great.
[23980][24019]Being perfect is one of the hardest things, right?
[24020][24053]But he had a right to it.
[24060][24079]Of course I competed in many cases,
[24080][24129]when I asked who had the best number
[24130][24169]on the day of the competition, and that's what I did the whole time...
[24170][24219]But now, when I'm older and wiser, I often think
[24220][24249]that I fell into a fever then.
[24250][24289]But you know, I made a decision then, and my way of thinking was,
[24290][24309]and this cannot be undone now.
[24310][24339]and I sometimes regret this.
[24340][24369]To slightly refine the rough image of Arnold Schwarzenegger
[24370][24429]Charles Gaines, the author of the book "Ac�lizom" met him and tried to change his image.
[24430][24459]He wanted to show his skills and weak points.
[24460][24469]But it didn't work.
[24470][24489]This was never included in the film.
[24490][24509]Fear, are you ever afraid?
[24510][24519]Of course, sometimes I'm afraid.
[24520][24556]What, what are you afraid of?
[24560][24569]From the unknown.
[24570][24639]I felt that he could not reach me, as if I were a single person who was away from him.
[24640][24659]It is natural to be an open lover.
[24660][24689]It is delicate and beautiful to be loved,
[24690][24719]because I want to suggest that "I am one with you"
[24720][24749]You know what I think, that what you are doing is wrong.
[24750][24759]No! Yes!
[24760][24799]What was lacking was not that I had no weak points,
[24800][24829]but it's like we're living in a shop window.
[24830][24879]My whole life was when something happened, when I felt pain, or something else,
[24880][24919]I forgot, I overlooked it.
[24920][24979]For some reason, when you take part in a competition, you turn off the unity in yourself.
[24980][25059]You reach far and close the basic relationships between people.
[25060][25069]�so what?
[25070][25079]Don't you blame this? Not.
[25080][25139]Especially in physical examination, we are forced to put other things aside for a while.
[25140][25229]I did it the following way, if I put something aside and it was lying there, I completely forgot where it was.
[25230][25259]For Arnold, the primary goal was always
[25260][25289]which is presented in the next scene of the film.
[25290][25339]Arnold visited his role model, the former bodybuilding champion - Reg Park.
[25340][25369]Arnold planned his career similarly to Park,
[25370][25399] who became a star in the 1960s with her opening role in Herkules.
[25400][25439]I think what happened to me 15-20 years ago is happening to you now.
[25440][25459]I know this is a wonderful thing.
[25460][25469]Yes, this is fantastic.
[25470][25489]As if it were repeating itself.
[25490][25519]I think we are very similar, right from the beginning.
[25520][25549]� there was a child who wanted to follow my successes,
[25550][25589]therefore, this was a great blessing for me, and I accepted it as well.
[25590][25627]I remember a dream because
[25630][25679]I felt that I was sleeping for 8 hours - that is, the whole time.
[25680][25709] and my dream was something like
[25710][25749]I am a king and I stand on top of a mountain,
[25750][25789] and there is no room for another number.
[25790][25799]I'm just here.
[25800][25853]Everything was like a historical victory.
[25860][25869]The time has come.
[25870][25919]The "Ac�lizom" team recorded various scenes of the characters in their own homes.
[25920][25949]Now we had to go where everyone was trying.
[25950][26009]Across the world... for the Mr. Olympia and Mr. Universe competition held in Pretoria, South Africa.
[26010][26049]Here they could not manipulate the competitors or organize the situations.
[26050][26069]The camera crew will now just watch,
[26070][26089]but not to appear.
[26090][26119]The competition is real,
[26120][26139]and everyone tries to win.
[26140][26169]It was an incredible adventure.
[26170][26249]Do you want to fly to Africa and shoot a movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger and his opponents in the South African international competition?
[26250][26269]Then fly to South Africa and do it.
[26270][26307]We did this as well as we could.
[26310][26349]In terms of technology, the revolution today is represented by digital cameras,
[26350][26399]at that time we could only shoot with a 16 mm hand-held camera.
[26400][26419]With the appropriate physical permits
[26420][26472]filmmakers could see the drama unfolding behind the curtain walls.
[26480][26519]I think that the film had a big plus that
[26520][26589]until they could feel the trust in the film crew, the cameras took everything.
[26590][26636]What's more, he captured real emotions and feelings.
[26650][26686]Roger Walker - Australia.
[26690][26742]There is a scene where I am seen on the bench.
[26750][26809]When Joan Churchill waved and I turned the camera...
[26810][26829]Mike Katz up�,
[26830][26896]the moment he went down and we followed him down the stairs with the camera.
[26900][26929]When I look back at this scene, which I have seen many times,
[26930][26997]I think that many of us thought about their families, that they needed them.
[27000][27049] and I know, then I automatically thought about what my son was doing.
[27050][27079]Let's shoot, Katz.
[27080][27149] I usually said to my son: look what's up Michael, and hung a necklace around his neck or put a cup in his room.
[27150][27179]�and now he hasn't been with me for 10 days,
[27180][27209] and I return home with a heavy hand.
[27210][27259]You know, no matter what happens, I will be with me in this sport, my family will always be with me.
[27260][27279]and that's why I'm dying when I return home.
[27280][27339]This was my way to pull myself together and stand up after such a failure.
[27340][27399]Because it was a big disappointment in my life.
[27400][27429]I had to be around my family.
[27430][27459]When Mr. Universe finished,
[27460][27469]Waller was the winner.
[27470][27499]The most important part of the competition followed - the Mr. Olympia,
[27500][27539]Arnold, with Loui and Franco.
[27540][27559]The film crew took the seats.
[27560][27639]When we were in the gym, we noticed that there was going to be a big fight between Arnold and Loui.
[27640][27705]Arnold had the incredible opportunity to do what he set out to do.
[27720][27782]The psychological part of the body examination can be seen in such famous scenes,
[27800][27845]like the ones Arnold did.
[27860][27879]I love you Loui.
[27880][27925]No one can win in those minutes.
[27930][27969]The room where we stayed was no bigger than 6 x 6 meters,
[27970][28009]so it was really a small room.
[28020][28049]�and it was very hot.
[28050][28089]Other than that, there was no possibility to talk or ask for advice between these walls.
[28090][28109]The only thing missing is Arnold's gibberish.
[28110][28129]Expired.
[28130][28149]By the way, Arnold lives up here, do you see?
[28150][28169]�and I don't wear boots.
[28170][28209]Loui, how do you share your chances now?
[28210][28229]Arnold, I admit you are the best. - I'm ready for the floor.
[28230][28259]Please. - I just wanted to make sure.
[28260][28279]Everything is under my control here. - It shines.
[28280][28319]Arnold, you will be king for a long time.
[28320][28365]You will be the king forever. - I'm ready.
[28370][28389]More than 25 years later
[28390][28419]Ferrigno recalls the feelings of that night.
[28420][28449]I stood in front of the furrow,
[28450][28489] and I thought that I would not be second, it was possible that I would be third at most.
[28490][28539] and I looked at the faces in the audience and I saw my father's face, as if he was just saying: "Oh, my God!"
[28540][28559]I saw that he was more disappointed than she was.
[28560][28579]Third place...
[28580][28609]Lou Ferrigno!
[28610][28639]I tell you that what this guy accomplished in one year,
[28640][28659]that's fantastic.
[28660][28669]Our son.
[28670][28713]Just keep going, nice work.
[28720][28749]I saw that Arnold wanted to finish it.
[28750][28789]I would like to officially announce that I am retiring from racing.
[28790][28799]This was my chance.
[28800][28834]But history is history.
[28850][28879]Do you know what I wanted most in the world in South Africa?
[28880][28939]Not the Mr. Olympia title, but to have an open path, a wonderful time, like Arnold.
[28940][28959]This is what I wanted more than anything else.
[28960][28979]This had a great effect on me.
[28980][29009]Who wants to be 2nd, 3rd or 10th in South Africa?
[29010][29049]� he had a pleasant time there, he was surrounded by nice people, everyone wanted to shake his hand.
[29050][29069]I have already achieved all this because I worked on it through many years.
[29070][29099]But then this was my dream,
[29100][29129]when I looked at it from my own point of view, I wanted to be a woman.
[29130][29178]This changed me, I had to work on myself.
[29180][29199]The tape was in boxes,
[29200][29249]but now more than 100 shots had to be edited and processed for the film.
[29250][29269]Unfortunately, Butler had no money.
[29270][29299]He didn't have any money.
[29300][29396]When I returned from Africa, American Express called me every day because they had successfully drained my $35,000 credit limit.
I became the most important boy on [29400][29439], which surprised even me.
[29440][29477]In bankruptcy in 1976
[29500][29549]organized a body art show at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.
[29550][29589]They tried to arouse the interest of potential sponsors.
[29590][29639]Kandy Burgen was asked if she would photograph Arnold.
[29640][29689]Whitney thought that as many as 300 might come, and someone said:
[29690][29719]You see, there is a huge crowd out there!
[29720][29729]Did you see the crowd on the street?
[29730][29739]No...
[29740][29759]Huge.
I went to see it on [29760][29799] and saw that 5,000 people were trying to get in.
[29800][29829]No one should go beyond this line.
[29830][29869]Inside the Museum Arnold, Frank Zane and Ed Corney
[29870][29899]he stood on a rotating pedestal in front of the New York audience.
[29900][29939]They were very excited about this ambitious project.
[29940][29989]This was risky and very, very far from Venice Beach.
[29990][30019] and New York Times critic Vicki Goldberg asked for this.
[30020][30069]Many famous artists gathered from all over the world,
[30070][30089] who came to see the bodies.
[30090][30131]We are talking about an interesting topic,
[30160][30179]which can also be determined,
[30180][30229]as the presentation of the muscular body in artistic form.
[30230][30289]Another bodybuilder who doesn't need to be introduced to most people.
[30290][30319]As I mentioned, the hottest representative of this sport
[30320][30349]- Arnold Schwarzenegger.
[30350][30389]There was a dispute about what...
[30390][30429] anatomy compared to art.
[30430][30479] and like Leonardo da Vinci or Auguste Rodin in their pictures and sculptures,
[30480][30543]these people showed their muscles.
[30560][30609]Whitney couldn't direct the show because there were so many
[30610][30649]that they couldn't even pay at the cash register.
[30650][30699]They were simply forced to pile the money on the ground.
[30700][30739]A 180 cm high dollar column was created.
[30740][30769]and at the end of the day the film was financed,
[30770][30805] and to import the editions.
[30810][30879]The Whitney Museum showed investors that people are interested in body research.
[30880][30934]The time has come to present "Ac�lizom" to the world.
[30960][30989]January 18, 1977
[30990][31045] was the premiere of "Ac�lizom" at the Plaza Theater in New York.
[31050][31079]Arnold and his friends flooded New York.|"Schwarzenegger lit up the film like neon..."|- New York Magazine.
[31080][31129]The audience loved the film and the critics were delighted.
[31130][31159]"This film has a voice, a soul, a character... and most importantly, a lot of muscles..."| - Cosmopolitan
[31160][31169]But for the body banks
[31170][31229] the real experience was that they could see their private, closed world naked and in great danger.
[31230][31269]It was really interesting to see what some of them look like in front of the film.
[31270][31309] I was only a secondary character there, but it seemed to me that everything was fine.
[31310][31329]When I first saw the film, I was very, very disappointed.
[31330][31359]Because I saw some scenes and felt deceived.
[31360][31389]Reassure him and help him.
[31390][31429]I was afraid that people wouldn't like me, that they would look down on me.
[31430][31449]Because they said he came from Brooklyn,
[31450][31459]loud,
[31460][31469]can't speak,
[31470][31489]looks like a monster in the movie.
[31490][31519]I want to say that at that moment I felt like a monster,
[31520][31569]but that was not the case, I noticed that everyone wanted to find me.
[31570][31599]People came up and said: Oh my God, you were amazing in "Ac�lizom", you and Arnold.
[31600][31619]Come on, talk!
[31620][31669]I have nothing to say, I just want to eat my cake.
[31670][31709]When watching the film on the big screen, the most wonderful thing was
[31710][31749]when they were finally sitting at the end of the bus and Arnold was joking with Loui.
[31750][31779]It was as if I made it easier,
[31780][31819]"but, now we have to forgive".
[31830][31849]This was naive in a certain sense.
[31850][31899]What a great opportunity to be together, train together.
[31900][31959]The truth is that we were like a family that is close to each other to this day.
[31960][31979]We did everything together and it made us happy.
[31980][32019]It was a kind of closeness, like a brotherhood.
[32020][32039]This cannot be compared to anything else.
[32040][32079]The best thing is that when I look back, there was nothing better than "Ac�lizom".
[32080][32109]and we celebrated this 25 years later.
[32110][32153]It would be a mistake not to celebrate something.
[32250][32269]How are you feeling today Lori?
[32270][32279]Better.
[32280][32340]Today, Dr. Franco Columbu is a practicing physician in Los Angeles.
[32350][32389]Further producer and director in films shot in Sardinia.
[32390][32438]He is Arnold's best friend to this day.
[32440][32479]Mike Katz is a member of the National Association of Detectives,
[32480][32529] He also owns several gyms in Connecticut, where he trains his future bodybuilders.
[32530][32569]The son, Mike Jr., and his wife recently had a child.
[32570][32604]Mike Katz became a grandfather.
[32610][32619]Ken Waller lives in Los Angeles.
[32620][32688]The small coastal gym, "Gold's", which he manages, became a big hit.
[32710][32749]Now she is mainly concerned with raising her son.
[32750][32789]As a business manager, he works a lot on the sales of Gold's Gym products.
[32790][32839]Furthermore, it also sells cheese fillings.
[32840][32859]Joe Weider and his brother Ben
[32860][32899] continue to promote bodybuilding through their own publishing empire and the IFBB.
[32900][32949]What was then a subculture has now become a multi-million dollar business.
[32950][32999]Ed Corney worked in the fitness industry and is currently dealing with health problems.
[33000][33059]But even today, he confesses that he can beat anyone from the old people even in the races.
[33060][33089]Georg Butler directed the film "Ac�lizom 2: The Woman".
[33090][33149]He recently directed two documentaries about Ernest Shackleton's polar exploration.
[33150][33169]The films received exceptional reviews.
[33170][33229]Lou Ferrigno continued his career in the film industry and on television, his most famous role being the Hulk.
[33230][33259]As well as the trainer of Hollywood stars,
[33260][33289] and is one of the best-known names in the fitness industry.
[33290][33341]Remember, I'm still waiting to eat my cake?
[33350][33379]Matty Ferrigno is resting in Florida,
[33380][33419] and he said that he was very proud of the boy.
[33420][33439]�And what about Arnold Schwarzenegger?
[33440][33485]He earned "a few dollars" in the film industry.
[34020][34059]Every time someone watches "Ac�lism"
[34060][34100]he is enchanted, he will be enthusiastic,
[34120][34159]but at the same time he doubts,
[34160][34196]is this all true?
[34200][34229]How was Arnold really upset with Louio Ferrigno?
[34230][34289]That he really didn't go home for his father's funeral, because it happened shortly before the competition?
[34290][34309]was it really that cold?
[34310][34339]Because he told us to forget that he is dead and alive,
[34340][34369]I won't be nervous because I have to concentrate on the competition.
[34370][34389]Is that true?
[34390][34449]We saw how you wove the joint after the Mr. Olympia,
[34450][34469]Did you really say that?
[34470][34500]and did you really save it?
[34510][34529]Is that true?
[34530][34559]and it is true that someone stole Mike Katz's shirt,
[34560][34609]or in the game of nerves, is what you did with Loui Ferrigno really true?
[34610][34629]So many questions arose.
[34630][34681]and when I traveled the world and popularized the film, which for the 25th anniversary
[34690][34719]shown by HBO
[34720][34729] and Cinemax
[34730][34769]many people told me: oh, I'm seeing this before.
[34770][34789]and I was asked these things.
[34790][34809]That's why I thought it was important to clean it
[34810][34829]a few things in this film,
[34830][34839]that they were true.
[34840][34869]The competitions themselves, the results of the competitions,
[34870][34889]the coaches,
[34890][34929] the pain, the sacrifice,
[34930][34939]the stuff in the gym,
[34940][34959]the supplements we took
[34960][34979]the food we ate
[34980][34999]a lot of heat, etc.,
[35000][35009]that was all true.
[35010][35049]But there were some things that were not true.
[35050][35079] and that's why we didn't call the film just a documentary, but a docu-drama,
[35080][35099]because there were a couple of things that we created,
[35100][35129]to make it more interesting.
[35130][35169]Since it was agreed that this is the only way to finance 
[35170][35203]our film, "Ac�lizmot".
[35202][35229]It had to be dramatic.
[35230][35249]All investors constantly said that
[35250][35274]it's wonderful to watch the coaches, what you're doing is great,
[35275][35314]but if you look at the material where lying presses, squats, etc. they finished
[35315][35330]that's boring.
[35331][35359]For us, this was interesting, but it was boring to watch.
[35360][35388]This is why we created the drama,
[35389][35403] the conflict.
[35404][35427]We created a negative character and created a hero.
[35428][35499]We created a boy who had more confidence and psyche than the others.
[35500][35560]A guy who uses various tricks and tricks to defeat the other bodybuilders in the gym, including 220 kg.
[35561][35607]These are the things we want to see, said the supporters.
[35608][35632] and we started creating such moments.
[35633][35649]We did this together.
[35650][35698] 100 pieces of material for "Ac�lizom".
[35697][35736]Then it had to be reduced to 85-90 minutes.
[35737][35791]We filmed scenes in which, for example, someone distracted others.
I'm watching you on [35792][35803].
You are also on [35804][35841].
[35842][35863]Do you understand?
[35864][35880]During the race.
[35881][35919]It didn't work out as originally planned by Louie Ferrigno 
[35920][35961]to make a brutal 125 kg guy.
[35962][35989]He who trains in a prison in New York,
[35990][36018]Hulk� shaping himself.
[36019][36041] and come to South Africa
[36042][36061]to destroy little Schwarzenegger,
[36062][36075]washed it off the straw bench.
[36076][36092]It really wasn't good.
[36093][36106]Some believed that this happened,
[36107][36123]or theoretically it could have happened.
[36124][36148]But we saw that Loui really believed this.
[36149][36181]He was a delicate, hearing-impaired child,
[36182][36215] who often needed the help of his father.
[36216][36256]It was really big and huge, but it wasn't prepared enough.
[36257][36291]It was made possible for me to be a terrifying figure who came to destroy me.
[36293][36313]and slowly the whole concept started to change.
[36314][36343] were placed as victims,
[36344][36382]and inside me they made a guy who tries different tricks on him,
[36383][36412] and who wins every race.
[36413][36453]The more I got into it, the more I started to compare it to a machine.
[36454][36483]I discovered how to apply the image that I am like a machine,
[36484][36503]who has no emotions,
[36504][36536]who is not interested in the fate of his opponents.
[36537][36583]Or not even my best friend, Franco Columbu, with whom we shared a room.
[36584][36608]I could have easily destroyed him.
[36609][36633]As I mentioned in the film, he is like a child,
[36634][36675]and I will be there as his father on the day of the competition.
[36676][36692]Many of these things are not true.
[36693][36730]The reality was completely different, but I loved Franco and helped him as much as I could.
[36731][36760]Even if it meant that he would win, I would still have helped him.
[36761][36774]� He was my friend, but
[36775][36813]I had to maintain the feeling that I was cold and ruthless,
[36814][36826]like a machine.
[36827][36842]I was just playing a role.
[36843][36873]That was also just one role I did with Loui.
[36874][36908]I had to make it look like I had thrown him out of balance.
[36909][36937]That scene was also planned in advance,
[36938][36962]when we lived together with his father,
[36963][36989]with his mother and Loui Ferrigno.
[36990][37018]We all lived together
[37019][37049] and they started the big psychological attack.
[37050][37080]I told him that I called my mother yesterday,
[37081][37118] and I told him that I won Mr. Olympi 6 times,
[37119][37140] and congratulated me.
[37141][37172]I said this because I will win even if anything happens...
[37173][37225]The fact was that I loved Lou.
[37226][37264] and it didn't happen that I used some psychological trick against him,
[37265][37298]because I knew that I would win that competition 100%.
[37299][37336] has not yet reached the level of that competition.
[37337][37365]He was not yet sufficiently prepared to win the race.
[37366][37383]I had absolutely no reason to worry.
[37384][37411]But we wanted to create the impression that it was dangerous.
[37412][37448]How he can sweep me away by being so big and powerful.
[37449][37495] and that I have to use not only my body, but also psychological tricks
[37496][37558]to kill his father, his mother and Loui Ferrigno.
[37559][37581]During the entire film, the speaker was placed on this,
[37582][37598]for the relationship between us.
[37599][37647]Of course there were other things in which I differed from others.
[37648][37706]If you want to be a champion, you must not be influenced by negative requests.
[37707][37733]I have to forget about my feelings,
[37734][37756]and I must be cold as ice.
[37757][37796]In that recording, we wanted to show that I am very "cold",
[37797][37823]and how much I lack emotions.
[37824][37836]E.g
[37837][37868]I said that I really heard a story
[37869][37921]From a doctor in France who told me a story about 
[37922][37988] that 4 years ago he did not go to his father's funeral immediately before the competition.
[37989][38033]When his father died, he simply ignored it in order to stay focused.
[38034][38069]I have noted this story so that I can use it somewhere in the future...
[38070][38088]People will be amazed.
[38089][38120]People will read about this even before the release of the film,
[38121][38144]this will be the subject of the articles in the newspapers,
[38145][38179] and more tickets can be sold.
[38180][38219]It was the same with
[38220][38242]that I have no feelings.
[38243][38281]If someone were to steal my car in front of my house,
[38282][38298] we just laugh at this,
[38299][38321]and buy myself a new car.
[38322][38345]Of course, afterwards I thought:
[38346][38392]Hey, if someone were to steal my car, I'd be in tears, because it's my treasure.
[38393][38404]That was the truth,
[38405][38429]but I thought I could continue in this spirit
[38430][38477]�and I said that my father is dead
[38478][38540]right before the competition, my mother called me to come to the funeral.
[38541][38557]and I answered him, "What for?"
[38558][38572]� already dead.
[38573][38601]and I think it's really "cold".
[38602][38667]and it really worked, people were really shocked by it.
[38668][38730] and if you ask if this is true or not,
[38731][38755]this never actually happened.
[38756][38784]My father never died before any of my races.
[38785][38832]He died in 1972, 3 months after the competition.
[38833][38859]and I saw him shortly before his death.
[38860][38879]We had a wonderful relationship.
[38880][38937]So what I said, that I have no feelings, that I am not interested in my father's death, is not true.
[38938][38029]I think it is important now that people know the truth about what the truth was.
[39030][39074]Another example when I weave a joint.
[39075][39111]In the last scene of the film, they say marijuana.
[39112][39148]And many people asked me if I really used marihuana in the film?
[39149][39165]Or is it a lie?
[39166][39184]I answer: I really wanted to.
[39185][39194]�s
[39195][39221]yes, I saved it,
[39222][39237]Unlike some people.
[39238][39261]Haven't you seen a blue sky somewhere?
[39262][39269]It was from Waller.
[39270][39276]From Waller?
[39277][39329]Many people asked about Mike Katz's shirt, which he was looking for.
[39330][39360]How did they really do this to him?
[39361][39400]How they took the shirt and pushed him to look for it,
[39401][39431]and thus lose your chances in the competition?
[39432][39468]The truth is that he was looking for that shirt
[39469][39484]but only because he forgot where he put it.
[39485][39503]Nobody put it anywhere.
[39504][39552]But after viewing the material, we held a discussion,
[39553][39570]during which we invented this scene.
[39571][39614]When we met as a physical team, we played a game
[39615][39629]�and then Ken Waller said:
[39630][39653]You know what I'm going to do with Mike Katz?
[39654][39668]I tuck the shirt away.
[39669][39699]or I'll hide everything.
[39700][39737]Hey, do you know what I'm going to do when I get to Africa? I take Katz's shirt and hide it.
[39738][39757]I'm confusing you a bit.
[39758][39792]We actually shot that scene at the beginning.
[39793][39826]Only at the end of the competition,
[39827][39852]when all the material was ready,
[39853][39873]then they created the impression that
[39874][39966]that Mike Katz's shirt was stolen by Ken Waller in order to confuse him and lose the race.
[39967][40004]When you feel pain and tension in your muscles, your muscles start to grow.
[40005][40024]If you can't handle this pain effect,
[40025][40036]then forget it.
[40037][40066]One of the most controversial topics is the question
[40067][40081]were we taking these steroids at that time?
[40082][40118]Or do these drugs have a great effect on sports?
[40119][40142] and the answer is: YES.
[40143][40162]These things were still in their infancy.
[40163][40190]The doctors just started experimenting with them.
[40191][40204]But this was not forbidden then.
[40205][40232]We talked about this very openly.
[40233][40254]If someone asked someone if they were taking these steroids, they answered
[40255][40299]YES, I take 2 or 3 steroids a day, then someone told me to try it too.
[40300][40319]This was not banned.
[40320][40350]Today, when this became a big problem,
[40351][40420]organizations periodically conduct doping tests (unannounced tests).
[40421][40444]You can invite yourself to this at any time,
[40445][40467]and it takes 2 days to analyze the results.
[40468][40501]He doesn't have time to somehow remove it from the organization.
[40502][40515]That's it today.
[40516][40547]The bodies are examined all day.
[40548][40590]To me, this is as relaxing as sex with a woman and orgasm.
[40591][40612]People still ask me
[40613][40630]is that true?
[40631][40649]and to this day they are trying to find out,
[40650][40685]is "cracking" better than orgasm,
[40686][40705]as I said in the movie.
[40706][40741]The truth is that one has nothing to do with the other.
[40742][40787]Being a champion is a good thing, it's wonderful to train and push yourself,
[40788][40807]how can you compare one to the other.
[40808][40816]These are two different things.
[40817][40850]It is best if you have both, the rush and the orgasm.
[40851][40884]Indeed, this is something to think about.
[40885][40927]I felt this was the only way to
[40928][40956]how to attract attention.
[40957][41012]I thought this would raise more awareness.
[41013][41047]The more they deal with it and the more often it will be in the heat,
[41048][41069] and bodybuilding, as a sport, thus rises higher,
[41070][41106] and we present our physical world to the world several times.
[41107][41163]It was all about that.
[41164][41192]We could have made this movie about Arnold Schwarzenegger.
[41193][41207]About my life or something like that
[41208][41236]about my training, my path to victory,
[41237][41258]but that would be boring and they wouldn't pay for it.
[41259][41281]The film became so successful because
[41282][41328]It includes many different body builders who completed it.
[41329][41369]Lou Ferrigno is a specific part of the film,
[41370][41395]and it turned out that people love this character.
[41396][41408]Ed Corney
[41409][41425]Franco Columbu
[41426][41434]Ken Waller
[41435][41451]Mike Katz
[41452][41465]Serge Nubret
[41466][41511]a bunch of guys who made this film more dimensional and complete,
[41512][41531]�and whose relationship was very interesting.
[41532][41603]Some scenes were really real,
[41604][41630]and the woman is fictional.
[41631][41672]But it is true that the film contains many real things:
[41673][41709]real competitions, real training,
[41710][41736]real exhaustion, real failures.
[41737][41759]All these things were true.
[41760][41769]The unique and unrepeatable
[41770][41792]Arnold Schwarzenegger!
[41793][41816]I bring it to many people
[41817][41849] and we say that they were represented by "Ac�lizom".
[41850][41870]I first heard this after the book was published.
[41871][41904]And after the release of the film, at least 10 times more often.
[41905][41934]They said that the training inspired them and changed their lives.
[41935][42018]They told wonderful stories about how much motivation they received and how much they were ready to change their lives.
[42019][42040]Whether in bodybuilding or other sports,
[42041][42057]or whatever in business life
[42058][42088]this film generated a wonderful response.
[42089][42124]I hope that if people watch this film on DVD,
[42125][42193]they will get the same impulse as the thousands and millions of people in the world who saw the film.
[42194][42218]and when you get a reaction from what you see on the screen,
[42219][42233]then he jumps down to the gym,
[42234][42264]to raise your eyebrows and make sure that
[42265][42287]to see if what I said is true,
[42288][42310]that "quick" is better than orgasm.
[42311][42383]No, trust me.
[42384][42422]Cinemax presents an exclusive interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger,
[42423][42447]with the cast of the classic documentary film "Ac�lizom".
[42448][42482]I remember when George Butler brought it there in 1974
[42483][42525] and he said he would like to make a film about bodybuilding.
[42526][42554]To which I replied that the film will be without me because I want to finish the competition.
[42555][42593]To this he said: - I definitely need you,
[42594][42648]you have to compete one more year to make that documentary.
[42649][42669]and I started another year.
[42670][42679]The unique and unrepeatable
[42680][42704]Arnold Schwarzenegger!
[42705][42719]I'm sorry I did this,
[42720][42755]because the film became a huge success.
[42756][42776]"Ac�lizom" became a classic.
[42777][42827]I feel a certain degree of excitement on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the film,
[42828][42870]when I see the old times, the beautiful memories,
[42871][42902]what an amazing time we had in the 70s, 
[42903][42920]the coaches for the world championship,
[42921][42988] the friendships between us.
[42989][43029]and it also amazes me that I had so much perseverance,
[43030][43095] to train 5 times a day and move 50 tons of weight, burning 8-10 thousand calories.
[43096][43138]I did everything to win in the end.
[43139][43179]This film is historical and classic,
[43180][43202]because it really corresponds to the period when
[43203][43266]the autopsy came out of the corner
[43267][43298] and developed a great sport.
[43299][43343]He shows what he expects from people,
[43344][43370]what exercises should be done.
[43371][43399]If you want to grow, I will explain it to you
[43400][43462]How many kilos and tons do you have to lift every day to be the biggest guy.
[43463][43493]Everyone can learn something from this film,
[43494][43525]because it's a really exciting movie,
[43526][43536]and it's about people.
[43537][43561]Not only about sports, but also about people.
[43562][43683]Don't miss the daily edition "Ac�lism".
[43684][43721]"Ac�lizom" returned after 25 years.
[43722][43771]Cinemax invited Arnold Schwarzenegger and other celebrities
[43772][43790]for the presentation of this classic documentary.
[43791][43828]Cinemax presents this film and celebrates with us.
[43829][43854]This is the only day
[43855][43869]the day the film was released,
[43870][43909] is the year when this whole revolution started.
[43910][43955] I saw it for the first time in 1977, when my brother took me to it.
[43956][43976]I met Arnold two months later,
[43977][43998]that's why this film is special to me.
[43999][44044]This is a very independent film,
[44045][44065]I don't think it has ever been possible to shoot something like this.
[44066][44091]Cinemax was there and talked to the actual actors of the film.
[44092][44134]I think it is amazing that 25 years ago I was standing in this exact place when the film was shown.
[44135][44149]My favorite scene from the movie is
[44150][44163]when the bell rings on his arm.
[44164][44185]Yes, the same as now.
[44186][44200]This is an original idea,
[44201][44225]how the physical examination...
[44226][44241]rejuvenates people.
[44242][44269]Look how I look 25 years later,
[44270][44280]I look younger than I did then.
[44281][44310]We also spoke with the current bodybuilding champion.
[44311][44341]I think physical examination has come a long way, like everything else.
[44342][44358]When I first saw "Ac�lism"
[44359][44403]I was 16 years old and I started going to the gym 3 months ago.
[44404][44433]The manager of the gym gave me a videotape to watch.
[44434][44463]My favorite moments in the film are when I am with my friends.
[44464][44478]This is wonderful.
[44479][44511]Later on, all these guys became successful in life.
[44512][44529]Let's support this sport anyway.
[44530][]Don't miss the movie "Ac�lizom" released for the 25th anniversary.
