The Comeback

The 1980 Mr. Olympia held at the Sydney Opera House...As it Happened.
 
NEW - DIGITALLY REMASTERED SPECIAL EDITION
 
In one of the greatest comebacks of all time, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER returns to the world bodybuilding arena after five years away as a Hollywood movie star.
 
See how the multi-million dollar film superstar and 6 times Mr. Olympia, Arnold Schwarzenegger makes his comeback to the world bodybuilding stage at the Sydney Opera House in an attempt to win the title for a 7th time.
 
Normally bodybuilders spend years preparing for this ultimate competition - the Mr. Olympia. Can Arnold prepare in only 8 weeks when the other competitors have taken years to get ready for the greatest competition ever?
 
This is the story of one of the greatest comebacks of all time. Also starring with Arnold are Tom Platz plus appearances by a number of the Mr. Olympia contenders - Frank Zane, Boyer Coe, Dennis Tinerino, Mike Mentzer, Chris Dickerson, Samir Bannout, Roy Callendar and Roger Walker.
 
Includes scenes of Arnold training in the gym in Sydney, plus contest pump room scenes, interviews, and contest posing by some of the other competitors.


 
See the complete posing routines of Arnold, Platz and Zane, plus the incredible posedown.  
This is a slice of Aussie history from the golden age of bodybuilding in a special new DVD edition of The Comeback.
 
The contest was staged and promoted by Paul Graham. This was only the second time that the Mr. Olympia has been held in the Southern Hemisphere.
