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 (-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 activity is just as “satisfying” as having sex with a woman. That 1977 documentary about these people follows men like Franco Columbu and Lou Ferrigno competing (10[1])to become Mr. Olympia. For 10 points, the documentary Pumping Iron (10[1])brought fame to what sort of athletes, like Arnold Schwarzenegger? ■END■
