Round 4: Tossup 6

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 story about skipping his father’s funeral 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 partially set in Pretoria, South Africa, an eerie synth plays as the star describes how he’s (*) “coming day and night,” because performing the title activity (10[1])is just as “satisfying” as having sex with a woman. (10[1])That 1977 documentary about these people follows men like Franco Columbu and Lou Ferrigno competing to become Mr. Olympia.
