Phil came off as a dick that can't run. 
Branch came off as a short retard.
Kai came off as a creepy loner.

So yeah, great movie

Exactly they needed  characters like lee Priest, while not competing for the O (who cares) is more interesting to see on the screen than those mentioned above 



WoooSSHHHHHHHH

If only they did this movie back in the day with these people:

it is just for ilustration, 90s BBS were simply best and had personality.

[Oblique]

It was no Pumping Iron, that's for sure.

Agreed.

[Papper]

It was not even Total Rebuild

The problem about making a BBing movie is that you cant make something stupid and boring into something fun and exciting.

THIS.

You can take 2 or three CHARISMATIC/POPULAR bodybuilders and make an interesting story around them while they train for a particular contest....






WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Well not with flat and medioker personalities

At the end of the day there wont be a fight or a match to "settle the drama".

Just some guys standing next to each other in a thong.

So that kind of limits the interest and excitement the phenomenom of BBing can generate.

If something is wrong it is not the competitors or the moviemakers but rather bodybuilding itself.

All four had "personality".

Haha - Philosophers say it best.

What do you mean? They "go to war" in the gym and then they enter the stage to "do battle" and "assert their dominance" like they say about Phil when he acts aggressive.  Sometimes they even push each others elbows around when doing a back double biceps pose!!

The movie was a piece of shit, I knew it would be even before I saw it but finally agreed to watch it with a friend.

There were a few mildly funny parts. Like when Roelly said, "I don't want that string in my ass... it's not my style, maan". And grandma saying Roelly is on the internet all night and then is all tired the next day. "It's not ok during contest period."
"They called him a bad word in the Netherlands... they called him a lazy negro"

Dennis Wolf doing his casting dialogue or whatever you call it. Terrible, LOL.

Branch getting thrown off the horse just after saying he only got injured outside the gym since 2003. Was lucky he didn't tear something.

Kai saying some people think he is gay... wow, no reason think that.

[Papper]

I think the key is to take a light hearted, self ironic almost comedic look at the sport and the people who do it. The older generations seemed a little more "loose" than today.

Phil Kai Branch etc all act like they're doing some heroic feats by going to the gym on drugs   and take themselves waaay too seriously.

I like Roelly in this aspect, he seems to not give many fucks all the while working hard. But he can't speak english, they could have subbed him.

How was Jay's role in the movie?

How was Jay's role in the movie?

Less than 2 mins.



WoooSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Before "Pumping Iron" was a film, it was a book.  And like the film that was born of it, the book had Arnold. 

Not Ronnie.  Not Jay.  Not Heath.  And definitely not Kai.

Give the sad state of bodybuilding today the title would have to be changed to "Pumping Oil" or something even worse.  Few  people really give a hoot about today's bodybuilding and outside schmoes I can't really think of anyone that does because there is nothing and no one to care about.

Ronnie - Bumbling drug bloated buffoon.  Jay - Misguided drug bloated buffoon.  Heath - The gift that doesn't give and needs returning and yet another drug  bloated balloon.   Kai - Disgusting piece of fly encrusted dung with a Master(baters) degree in perversion. Oh yeah, and nostrils the size of the English Chunnel. 


Contrast those gems with the originals.  Arnold - Need we say more?  Franco -  Except for heeding the wrong advices, strong in every way. Zane -  A Masters degree.  Lou - Got your $20 ready?  A great build and more likely than not, a good guy that gets piled  on more than he deserves.  Padilla - Robbed of not only an Olympia in '81, but also screen time in Pumping Iron as well as his shot at the '75 Mr. Universe. 

"Generation Iron"?  Nah.  More like "Generation Schmoe".  No thanks.

so I got round to watching generation iron and in summary:-

• phil heath is an arrogant  douche bag
• kai greene is good peoples
• dennis wolf will never be an actor
• branch warren is dillusional

best part of the film is branch acting cocky then falling off the horse
