It was good to see a Hercules film, GLADIATOR, win the Academy Award for best movie. Even better for Aussie "macho man" Russell Crowe to win best male actor as well. We don't sell videos such as Gladiator, but we do have available old Hercules movies from 30 or more years ago featuring the muscle men actors of the past. If you are interested in the old Hercules movies please let us know. ******************************************************************** This year there will be a few new faces in the Mr. Olympia such as Shari King Kamali, Craig Titus, Melvin Anthony, Claude Groulx and J.D. Dawodu. More could still qualify as the Olympia is still 6 months away. Talking about CLAUDE GROULX of Canada, a customer recently asked me whether we had any videos on him. A check of our records shows that we have him in 3 great contests as follows: V-092 1996 IRONMAN PRO INVITATIONAL
GMV-310 1998 IFBB FINNISH GP
V-168 2000 IRONMAN PRO INVITATIONAL ******************************************************************** For the HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX Results, click here. Dennis James won this time, which is probably why Chris Cormier came in so hard for the Australian Grand Prix. If anyone out there has photos or a video of this event, we would love to talk to you. ******************************************************************** FIBO 2001 In a couple of days time we will be busy taping FIBO in Essen Germany from April 26th to 29th. This is about the 10th year we have done this event and prior to that we edited the video of this fantastic bodybuilding Expo. To celebrate this 10th anniversary for our 2 camera teams we plan to release 2 VIDEOS from FIBO being 1 each for men and women. Please give us your feed back on this idea as you may or may not like this innovation. We know that many of you prefer to see just men or just women in your videos so let us know what you think. Please email me at my personal email address of wayne@gmv.com.au We never know just who will be posing at FIBO till we get there but I am informed 2 of the stars will be Günter Schlierkamp and Francisco 'Paco' Bautista. There will also be a men's bench press challenge with one of the organizers being our old friend and helper Thomas Klose. Barbell supplier will be Tom Lincir's IVANKO Barbell Company from San Pedro. ******************************************************************** Two of the world's hottest professionals are good customers of GMV Productions. This month's quiz is to see if you can name these 2 men who will be in the 2001 Olympia. The first correct entry will get 1 free video of their choice. Please just one entry per person as it is not too hard to work it out. ******************************************************************** SEARCH MODE It was our plan when we remade our web site to make up special sections listing all the videos of say Arnold Schwarzenegger or Mike Mentzer etc. Instead we linked our data base to the search engine so that any name you put in to SEARCH will list for you with links to each video, all the videos we have for that bodybuilder. To take this a step further we are busy keying in every name of every bodybuilder in our contest videos, a huge task as we have filmed about 10,000 physiques over the last 32 years. You can then enter the name of someone who perhaps only competed once in the 1990 Mr. Australia or the 1970 Mr. Universe and SEARCH will tell you what video or videos this person is in. ******************************************************************** REVIEWS There are 2 guys who are doing some fantastic reviews on GMV videos. Mike Emery in USA is doing reviews on our men's videos and you can see his reviews at in our Reviews Section.. Brett DeHann of Canada is doing reviews of some of our women's tapes with more coming up shortly. (See his review on Andrulla Blanchette in our Reviews Section. I met Brett at the Arnold Classic and he is a fine young man. ******************************************************************** |
