Audience Rating: R (Restricted)Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 9786304411469 Format: Closed-captioned, Color, NTSC ISBN: 6304411464 Label: MGM (Video & DVD) Languages: Manufacturer: MGM (Video & DVD) Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: MGM (Video & DVD) Release Date: June 19, 1997 Running Time: 103 minutes Studio: MGM (Video & DVD) Theatrical Release Date: April 23, 1976 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Quirky is the keyword here--but quirky in a highly entertaining way. Directed by Bob Rafelson, this film stars Jeff Bridges as a not-so-good ol' boy. Wealthy and aimless, he is involved in a real estate deal with a group of high-powered partners--and his only responsibility in the whole shebang is to evict the tenants of one building that needs to be torn down and has a gym filled with body builders. Disconnected from everything in his life, he feels a bond to these outsiders, particularly the surprisingly articulate, fiddle-playing Arnold Schwarzenegger (in one of his first film roles). He also finds himself attracted to the blue-collar gym employee played by Sally Field and so becomes an impediment to his own business partners. Oddly funny and affecting, a sleeper that never had much of a release. --Marshall Fine Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Avoid!The editorial review here on Amazon said "Stay Hungry" never had much of a release. And it may be for a good reason. The movie never decides whether it's a drama or a comedy. Most of the time it's drama and occasionally it switches to farce. Unfortunately neither the drama or the comedy parts are in the least entertaining. The actors do a good job but the script is boring and pointless, except for the one scene, where Scatman Crothers yells at Jeff Bridges. Fans of Bridges, Field or Schwarzenegger ...

See an early film with robert england "freddy Kruger" as Arnold's "grease man" LOL Rating:  - Stay HungryI've been a fan of Arnold's for a long long time and enjoyed following his career as a bodybuilder and actor. I recently re-read his autobiography "Education Of A Bodybuilder" which is a great look into the life of this interesting and dedicated individual. The movie "Stay Hungry" was mentioned so I figured I'd try to see if I could check it out. Fortunately my library had a copy so I gave it a shot. My wife and I just finished watching it and all I could say was "That's ... Read More Rating: - Before They Were Stars (or Govenor)Stay Hungry is a film about the new south trying to preserve the old south. This was the turning point for all of the stars. The film takes place in Birmingham, Alabama. The Blake's have been part of Birmingham society forever. Craig (Jeff Bridges) recently lost his parents and are at odds with himself. He has fallen in with some shady real estate developers. Craig has been given the assignment to buy the last piece of property for a development. This building is a gym. The ... Read More Rating: - Deceptive Marketing of FilmIf you were to take the packaging of "Stay Hungry" at face value you would think that the film is primarily a body-building film and that Arnold Schwarzenegger is the film's star. Nothing could be further from the truth. The film's main focus is about a recently orphaned rich kid(Jeff Bridges)from Birmingham,Alabama who along with his business partners is trying to buy a gym so they can tear it down and build apartments. These plans fall along the wayside when he falls for the gym's cute gymnast(Sally Field) ... Read More |
