Pumping Iron

Pumping Iron is a docu-movie filmed back in 1977 and it’s inspired by a book of the same name written by Butler and Charles Gaines. It’s a story about bodybuilding and centers on the competition between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mr. Olympia, Lou Ferrigno.

Rocky

We are sure that there are no humans in this world who has never heard about Rocky Balboa. Also made in the 70s, more precisely in 1978, it tells us a story about a small-time boxer and his adventures. Sylvester Stallone was the bomb in this movie!

300

An American period action film made in 2006 tells us a story about 300 Spartans who went to war against a much larger army. This movie made Gerald Butler’s abs so popular.

Warrior

A story about two estranged brothers whose entrance into an MMA tournament makes them come to terms with their lives and each other. Tom Hardy becomes a real beast for his role.

A short scene from Warrior not posted often but it's so worth looking at. You see the moment when Tommy spots Brendan and while you don't know at this point exactly what went wrong between the two brothers, you can feel the raw emotions across the room. . 🎬 Warrior (2011) Director: Gavin O'Connor Cast: Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton, Nick Nolte, Jennifer Morrison, Frank Grillo DoP: Masanobu Takayanagi Plot outline: Paddy Conlon (Nick Nolte) spent years drinking and abusing his wife and two boys, Tommy (Tom Hardy) and Brendan (Joel Edgerton). Brendan stuck with his father and married his high-school sweetheart, while Tommy left with his mother and ended up a U.S. Marine. After returning from Iraq years later, Tommy, now suffering through PTSD, finds his father sober and still in occasional contact with Brendan. Paddy agrees to train Tommy to compete in an mma tournament without knowing that Brendan is doing the same to make some extra cash. The boys have not seen each other for years, and Tommy hates Brendan for abandoning him as a child. . *Note: no dialogue here so I added a track from the movie – 'About Today' / The National #tomhardy #warrior #gavinoconnor #joeledgerton @joeledgerton #tommyconlon #brendanconlon #warriormovie #mma #mixedmartialarts #sports #action #fightmovie #fighting #martialarts #drama #brothers #sportsmovie #greatacting @lionsgatemovies
