There are 18 adults, one child, and a dog on that plank-why is is bending UPWARDS?
If everyone averaged 100#, that would be 2000# total, no fucking way!

I am sure most of you know who Sandow was...famous strong man...billed himself as strongest in the world...but he was not. Much of what he did was entertainment and not based on reality

1. it looks like a poster for a circus or summat. look at the hairy boy etc.
2. its only a poster for gods sake.
3. it doesnt bend upwards its the shape of the stone.
4. its only a poster

Hmm. I think the lad is in blackface. And Sandow was with Flo Ziegfeld (the ent. empresario) for years, so I would assume the others are also in this troupe and this is just a publicity shot.
/i could be dead wrong, tho

He big boss. He big genius. He design your mind, your brain.

Unfortunately, Sandow passed away from what was reportedly syphilis...although others have tried to romanticize his death by avering that he died shortly after lifting a car out of a ditch.
He lived a lonely and loveless life to the end...and his family refused to erect a headstone at his burial site.

The peolpe back then were made of some anti-gravity material. Scientists still aren't sure.

Isn't that what bodybuilding is? Chick always states that it isn't how much you lift but how much you look like you can lift.

"What's a tortoise?" :P
Interestingly, Ford and Scott hated one another and fought daily about the direction the film should take. It's one of Ford's few roles that could have been better served by another actor IMO. Daryll Hannah, as usual, should be seen and not heard. Hauer totally stole the show. The only man ever to out-spooky Walken (and again in The Hitcher). My only real complaint is that they never answered whether robots do, in fact, dream of electric sheep.
Who's the actress? What's her story doc?

This could be a Back-Lift photo, one of those odd lifts one doesn't see all that much anymore. Basically, a platform is built across a few saw-horses, then it is loaded with baby elephants, safes, people.... Anything that is interesting, and will make a good show.
The lifter then gets under the platform and tries to lift and support the weight using his full body.
If you look at old records, you'll all types of crazy poundages being lifted in this lift(3000-4000lbs) regularly. Noted strength historian Dave Willoughby believed that a practiced strength man should have a back lift atleast 13 times his shoulder press.

Hmm. The new, new 'director's' cut of the movie has a 3-hour documentary on the movie. A fan like me found it fascinating. The actress is Sean Young, in a still taken from the Deckard/Rachael interview at the beginning of the movie. Amazing what they can do with cgi these days, but everything in BR was done without such technology and it's dystopian world still holds up today. An Art sci-fi movie; not many of those around.
