Question about the upcoming Pumping Iron - 25th Year Anniversary DVD

Does it have a history of being censored, or are you just worried that Schwarzenegger will somehow get certain footage removed? If it's the latter, I doubt the film will be censored on DVD.

I"m just not sure if this is the original version, however. I guess it aired on Cinemax last year and it wasn't the same cut.

I dont think anything was edited, I think they added the additional footage that exists that was not in the original cut. This is a longer version of the film, presumably with more Arnie goodness. I'd like it if it contained both cuts, or a seemless branching option, but if not I'll just hold on to my VHS for posterity (and for insurance, just in case they do pull a fast one and take out something).

The VHS has the smoking scene in it. I've heard that two other scenes that might be censored are the scene where Arnold compares the feeling of being pumped to cumming. He says something to the effect that he's cumming all the time. Also, there is a scene where Arnold says, in order to show dedication to his traing, that he did not go home to his father's funeral because he was in training for a bodybuilding contest. Both of these scenes might be harmful to someone seeking public office. Of course all of this is fictional and was put in the movie for effect.

Okay let me see if I can clear it up the best I can...
I owned the original VHS (Original Cut). At some point in time Arnold bought ALL the rights to this film and burried it, for unknown and widely speculated reasons.
Last year (supervised by Arnold) a Restored Anniversary Cut was aired on Cinemax. Nothing was cut from the original, they added more footage to it.
And now they are releasing the DVD which will be the Cinemax version with apparently more footage as an Extra. I'm not sure if they'll have the Original Cut as an option or not, but on the other hand we won't be loosing any footage either.
Hope this helps.

As far as the editing:
There should be no editing because the movie has no damaging or bad content. Arnold said it himself, "I did not live my life to be a politician," so if people are goiung to keep him out of office for performing a vooch lock, grabbing a woman's breasts or smoking pot, it'll be their loss!

Haven't had a chance to watch the extras yet - will probably do that this weekend.
