We are sure this was straight from Arnold's mouth-I can tell by the way you falsley stated Frank made comments to Bob Beatty-the comment was only one-and it was made to Arnold.
Since Conan debted over 2 years after the 1980 Olympia-there is NO way the publicity could have affected the movie anymore than the 1975 competition could have.
First of all assclown, I'm talking about Arnold Fewer, my next door neighbor and training partner. And ( hey we all know your old school and the man ) I have a 1 1/14 inch ( first generation ) VCR tape from 1979 of Frank Zane on the Wide World of Sports airing of the 1979 Mr. Olympia contest making the comment. Bob interview Frank all three years the moment he walked through the curtains after his win. I have all three tapes. It was aired in November of that year ( never re-broadcast like the 77 & 78 Olympia ) and is some of the only video out there. Check GMV.
You saying it was made first hand, shows exactly how little we can now trust any " statement of fact " you make. With respect to when the film was released, that means FUUCK ALL, IT'S A FACT!
By the way, this system does have a spell check.
Your out of your league in this area, son.
The Beef Curtain.
And oh yeah if you want the particulars of these statements just PM me so you don't make a fool of yourself on the main board. FUUCKEN DICK!
