Arnold always said he loved how powerful franco was for his size. I personally think franco looked fantastic, but something about arnold is just so perfect, you couldnt change a thing on him to make it better. Katz and Waller look like the walking dead now, hell Katz should have been cast as a zombie in land of the dead he wouldnt have even needed makeup.

To everyone against Franco, what are you guys talking about?! Franco could have easily won. It was clear he had more definition and was more muscular. Even Arnold's lats couldn't compare to Franco. And Franco had insane separation between the upper and lower pecs. I think Arnold won it because of his character. He had a better stage presence. Of course, Franco's height was an issue, but pound for pound Franco looked a lot better. Lou Ferrigno definitely should not have placed 1st or 2nd though. He was placed where he was belong.

youll never drink alone.
ARNIE deserved first place cause overall he was the best....his physique was polished and defined like Serge Nubret but he had the size to compete with Lou. Franco's physique although he had everything too, there is an old saying in BB...a good big man will always beat a good short man...So Arnie remains KING>

I'm not a body building afficionado but I think Pumping Iron is an absolute classic.
As for Arnold, surely he took bodybuilding to a new level. No matter how many contests Haney, Yates, Coleman or whoever else wins, there will always pre and post Arnold.
Partly it was good genes. Look how long his limbs are and how fine his joints are. He was obviously a perfectionist, able to work every inch out of his musculature. By comparison his competition looked underdone even if they were bigger (Lou), more muscular (Franco) or more psycho (Katz).

Arnold owned them all easily. Lou looked like an armature, smooth and no ability to pose at all. Franco was awesome also, to even rip on Franco or Arnold shows that a person has no knowledge about bodybuilding. Serge Nubert also looked great and made Lou look like a fat baby.
It is a great DVD and the special features are unforgettable.
