Arnold - The Early Years

**  Approximately 109 minutes of Arnold's Bodybuilding History **

GMV's award winning documentary on Arnold's early career in bodybuilding.

      IFBB Arnold Classic USA on DVD & Download - Men & Women.

Apart from the 73 minutes of early contest and outdoor posing footage of Arnold and Franco, the bonus material from this collector's DVD includes more recent out-takes, on-stage and behind the scenes video from the Arnold Classic.                                                                                     

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER PHOTO GALLERY.

Firstly we see Arnold on stage in England aged 19 on the 28th of January 1967, doing curls and then guest posing. Next aged 20 while outdoors in a garden he pumps up with DB curls before posing. This includes closeups of his amazing arms and is the earliest Arnold colour footage we know of.
 
In 1970 you see Arnold as he wins his final NABBA Universe in the Pro class. Also seen briefly are Draper, Zane, Columbu, Coe, Beckles and more. This is followed by brief highlights from the 1970 Mr Olympia. The Olympia footage is poorly lit but included in the DVD as it is so rare. See Joe present the trophy to Arnold at this event.

(SPECIAL NOTE: At the time this DVD was edited, my footage of the 1971 Mr. Olympia could not be located. It was subsequently found and used in V-214DVD MR. OLYMPIA - THE GOLDEN YEARS.
When this Arnold DVD is revised and updated one day, we will add this footage as follows:  
1971 Mr Olympia - Arnold + Franco Columbu guest posing 2.5 mins and Sergio Oliva also guest posing  1 min.)
 
A real highlight is Arnold guest posing aged 23 in USA along with Franco posing at the same event. 
 
1972 poolside on the Gold Coast in sunny Australia, Arnold and Franco pump and pose both individually and duo in a superb in-depth segment including more great closeups of Arnold's huge arms. Shot at the Chevron Hotel, Surfers Paradise, Qld. by Wayne Gallasch on Sunday 6th February, 1972.

(SPECIAL NOTE: My footage of Arnold Guest Posing at this 1972 Southern Hemisphere Mr. Universe in Surfers Paradise could not be located when this DVD was edited. It will subsequently be included in this DVD at the next update. It is presently only seen in the contest DVD, V-099DVD.)

No other similar outdoor poolside posing footage of Arnold was ever recorded in his career. This footage was shot by Wayne Gallasch of GMV Productions and is his most well known footage from his long career in bodybuilding video and DVD productions. Wayne's still photographer that day was Robert Nailon.
See Robert's photo of the occasion below. Paul Graham is shown in the centre.

1972 was a very big year for Arnold as we see him defeat Sergio at the 72 Mr Olympia in Essen, Germany. This segment runs around 10 minutes and is the only known footage of the 1972 Mr Olympia event. Posing also by Serge Nubret, Franco Columbu and Arnold plus posedown and award for his 3rd Olympia crown. Please click here to see the Score Card from the 1972 Mr. Olympia.

In 1975 it was back to Melbourne Australia again for more guest posing, this time at the IFBB Mr Australia contest, promoted by Frank Burwash, also including posing by the winner, Roger Walker. In 1980 Roger placed 6th in the Mr Olympia.

Next we see Arnold posing at the 1975 Mr Olympia in South Africa, plus posing by Lou Ferrigno and Serge Nubret - the posedown and final award again to Arnold.
 
In 1980 Arnold made his comeback in Australia at the Mr Olympia contest held at the Sydney Opera House. It was to be Olympia victory # 7. See his solo posing, many comparisons, compulsory poses and more as Arnold once again stands victorious. Includes scenes of many of his closest rivals from Mentzer to Zane etc. A tour de force with Arnold, since voted the most popular bodybuilder of all time.

Mr. Olympia – The Golden Years: 1971, 1974, 1975, 1979 Mr. Olympia – The Golden Years: 1971, 1974, 1975, 1979  

In this historic Olympia DVD presentation, we have gathered together our rare and mostly previously unseen Olympia segments that were shot on super 8 film in the Golden 70s. As each segment seemed too short to release at the time, nothing happened till we obtained the wonderful and fantastic quality 20 minute film from the 1979 Mr. Olympia. This shows Frank Zane in his all time best condition defeating Mike Mentzer to win the Overall 1979 Mr. Olympia crown in Columbus Ohio. These are not complete Olympias but consists of the only known footage shot on film at these famous contests. All of the 3 1979 contests are exceptional quality.

 (CUSTOMER REVIEW)

 Hey guys,  Just a quick note to thank you for the fantastic Arnie DVD!  I am enjoying this DVD   greatly.  It is wonderful and worth the "price of admission." 
 Too bad something like this didn't exist 20 years ago when I was 15 . . .  Thanks again for the great product and best wishes. 

 Regards,  Eddie F.
