Plot
Richard Hatch stars as Nick Demec, a get-rich-quick schemer who stages a bodybuilding competition at Muscle Beach in Venice, California. The film included performances by several professional bodybuilders, including Franco Columbu and Frank Zane, and also co-starred Kay Lenz and Jeanette Nolan.[2]
The film was conceived as a pilot for a television series, but the concept never developed beyond this production.[3]

gollark: Saying "you cannot understand" and "ignore this" to people a lot is not really reminiscent of the "open-mindedness" thing you talk about a lot.
gollark: I mean, I can get somewhat scared just because of thinking about things a lot, or reading some SCP wiki entries, which aren't strictly actual environmental changes.
gollark: That sounds like what people might call "sad".
gollark: Well, yes, that is basically a synonym.
gollark: Anyway, you seem to be treating emotions as... actual physical properties of some sort. They're *not*. They're emergent behavior in people's brains, they're not subject to conservation laws or something any more than the amount of blue on my computer screen is.
