1982 Mr Olympia - The Battle of Champions
This historic DVD is a completely different version than any previously offered. It is the hardcore bodybuilding version of the '82 Olympia, now on DVD.
This exciting video covering the greatest physiques in the world, brings you all the drama, blood, sweat and tension of Chris Dickerson's epic victory in the 1982 Mr Olympia contest held in London. Shot on Super 8 sound film. This then became the first ever GMV coded release.
Although all 16 men are shown, this video concentrates on the top eight champions as they do battle through each of the three rounds of judging and on to the evening show and final presentation.
We take a different view point being that of combat by comparison, showing you the all important side by side judging comparisons and pose downs between these top men as they strive for victory. You can judge and compare your placings of the top men with the opinions of the official judges, and the comments you will hear from the audience.
However, anything can happen during the free posing round and the atmosphere was electric. Highlights for me included the immaculate and totally professional stage presentations of Chris Dickerson and Mohamed Makkawy, the best ever condition, shape and proportion of Samir, the massive and rock hard muscle of Viator, and the sheer size of Bertil Fox.
Tom Platz was huge and in fact the biggest I have ever seen him, and no professional boby builder has more stage charisma than Tom who it seems is a probable winner in the future. His massive legs are still years ahead of those to be found supporting any other body builder. For Tom's many fans, this video has all the Platz footage, both judging and final.
For Zane's fans he had a completely new routine which included his own unique poses he has made famous such as the vacuum and hands over head poses. He almost stole the title from Dickerson and in many people's eyes was a winner. Al Beckles went into this contest as one of the hot favourites and he too looked absolutely fantastic, as did Lance Dreher. Dreher had probably the biggest arms, in the famous Larry Scott posing style.
However, there can only be one winner, and CHRIS DICKERSON was a well deserving and popular winner in this his final contest. Chris was superb in all areas - symmetry, cuts, presentation, charisma, condition and muscle density. He had it all together on the day in a totally professional manner that showed class, experience and attention to fine detail. A fitting triumph to climax the competitive career of on the the world's greatest body builders. In his victory speech Chris thanked the great Bill Pearl for all the assistance he had given him.
