Footage of the 1955 Le Mans (“luh mawn”) crash is spliced into footage depicting these people in the debut film by the then-20-year-old Werner Herzog. One of these people made up a (-5[1])story about skipping his father’s funeral (-5[1])to tell on camera for a film in which he sings “Happy Birthday” to a colleague while wearing a shirt proclaiming himself as “Numero Uno.” In that film about these people (15[1])partially set (-5[1])in Pretoria, South Africa, an eerie synth plays as the star describes how he’s (*) “coming day and night,” because performing the title (10[1])activity (10[1])is just as “satisfying” as having sex with a (10[1])woman. (10[2])That 1977 documentary about these people follows men like Franco Columbu and Lou Ferrigno (10[1])competing (10[2])to become (10[1])Mr. (10[1])Olympia. (10[4])For 10 points, the documentary Pumping Iron (10[1])brought fame to what sort of athletes, like Arnold Schwarzenegger? ■END■ (10[1])
