I bought this tape to go along with my Pumping Iron DVD. I like it because it shows what it was like for Bev Francis trying to change the way women body building was viewed at the time. I would recommend it just for that part alone.

Pros: Being able to crack jokes through the whole thing
Cons: Read on for those....
These women were truly frightening. There are some things that I have to say about this documentary. Allow me to list them. 1. I find it hard to imagine that these ladies weren't on steroids. Seriously. 2. That whole "illegal" top thing was stupid. Yeah, like one of those chicks would really distract the judges by wearing a padded bikini. 3. One the women who was in the final eight looked very, very masculine. I think it could have been a hermaphrodite. I have no proof, but it is just my personal belief. 4. One of the girls had incredibly heavy make up on. I mean she had bright blue eyeshadow.
