Storyline
A syndicate wants to buy a whole district to rebuild it. They've bought every house except the small gym "Olympic", where Mr. Austria Joe Santo prepares for the Mr. Universum championships a month ahead. The rich sunny-boy Craig Blake is brought in by the syndicate as a dummy to buy the gym. But then he starts to like the people and falls in love with Joe's friend Mary Tate.

This movie doesn't really make a lot of sense...
But Jeff Bridges and Sally Field still give it their all and act pretty well with a silly story.
It's also fun to see a bunch of people (Robert Englund, Arnold, Ed Begley etc) who went on to decent and/or great things.
Plus Sally Field looks pretty hot in the film...
All in all, it is weird but it manages to stay together until the end.
Most of its value is as a super-early Schwarzenegger film and a bit of a glimpse into 70s bodybuilding culture.
And yeah, Sally Field doesn't wear much...
