Mr Olympia The Golden Age

Although the photos used on the DVD cover are all classic B&W photos, the DVD is 95% full colour footage. 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. We finally obtained the wonderful and fantastic quality 20 minute film from the 1979 Mr. Olympia. See Frank Zane in his all time best condition defeating Mike Mentzer to win the Overall Olympia crown.

These are not complete Olympias but these segments consist of the only known footage shot on film at these famous contests. All of the three 1979 contests are exceptional quality. The 1971 Olympia footage from Paris is short but includes the 2 guest posers Sergio and Franco. In 1974 see the titanic battle between old rivals Arnold and Lou Ferrigno with Arnold coming out on top. In 1975 in South Africa it was Arnold once again over Serge Nubret with Franco taking out the lighter class. Arnold retired after this contest. 1979 it was back in Columbus where Frank Zane took the overall title from Heavyweight Class winner Mike Mentzer. An absolute feast of posing for Zane fans.

Some of this old film footage has had the colour deteriorate with time. However the bodies we show portray priceless images of our great champions of the sport. This is a "Legends of the Olympias of the 70s" DVD. Shot on super 8 film and digitally transferred to DVD with copyright free music added.
