Red Heat (1988)
A tough Russian policeman is forced to partner up with a cocky Chicago police detective when he is sent to Chicago to apprehend a Georgian drug lord who killed his partner and fled the country (www.imdb.com/title/tt0095963/).
Een Schwarzeneggerfilm uit de eighties... Ik wist niet dat hij bier dronk, maar als ik even google blijkt het nog erger. Er is een quote van hem en een reclame voor Bud Light?
Schwarzenegger drinkt bier en maakt ook reclame ervoor:
That's why he was paid $3m! Arnold Schwarzenegger wears blond wig and tiny shorts in absurd Bud Light Super Bowl ad (www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2542820/Arnold-Schwarzenegger-wears-blonde-wig-tiny-shorts-absurd-3m-Bud-Light-Super-Bowl-ad.html) A source told the New York Post: 'Arnold has shot a series of ads in Japan but pretty much hasn't done anything in the US.
'Persuading him to promote a beer is a big coup for Bud Light.' (www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2541428/Arnold-Schwarzenegger-earn-3million-star-Superbowl-ad-Bud-Light.html). Schwarzenegger, 66, agreed to star in Bud Light’s new humorous ad campaign, “The Perfect Beer for Whatever Happens,” (https://sdyankeereport.wordpress.com/2014/01/19/arnold-schwarzenegger-drinks-bud-light-for-3m-in-new-super-bowl-ad/).
A Case for the Inclusion of Beer in Your Clean Diet
Beer has been a part of the human diet for almost all of recorded history; some of the earliest records are beer recipes. Beer was the wholesome and safe choice. It has been considered a food group, and has provided valuable nutrition for countless humans through the ages. Yet over the past 150 years our culture’s relationship with fermented beverages has undergone a drastic shift. As a society we began binge drinking and/or demonizing fermented beverages.
I somehow suspect you are reading this blog because of the title, and in hopes that it will justify the beers you drank this past weekend with your friends. I’m sorry to disappoint; there are numerous studies about the ill effects of over consumption of beer and alcohol. From an athletic standpoint there are many studies examining the excessive alcohol consumption of student athletes and the ill effects their binge drinking has on their performance. But one thing these studies have in common is their cultural assumption that drinking beer is a matter of drinking alcohol for the purposes of becoming intoxicated. ***(I am not trying to argue that drinking in excess is good. Drinking too much alcohol is bad for you. Unfortunately the majority of literature available seems to only be interested in addressing this point).
...
Beer made in a traditional way can be a hearty, rich, and nutrient dense food. Beer that is produced traditionally has undergone several natural processes that convert simple starches and sugars into nutrients our bodies need.
...
I think of beer like the other fermented foods in my diet: yogurt, kimchi, charcuterie, cheese. Not the main source of calories in my diet but regular supplements that provide vital nutrients, live cultures, and delicious flavor.
I like to enjoy beer regularly, preferably unfiltered and unpasteurized beer, complete with trace amounts of gluten and sugar despite my generally primal lifestyle. For me a beer a day with plenty of water works. I get nutrients I wouldn’t get elsewhere and I get to drink something really tasty. The best part is after a particularly tough workout not only does the beer taste exceptionally good, I find, the combination of low doses of alcohol and sugar paired with lots of water help my muscles recover quicker.
...
Just remember the wise (and somewhat out of context) words of the sage Arnold Schwarzenegger: “When you grow up you have to drink beer.” (http://crossfitjeffersonpark.com/beer-is-good-for-you/).
Milk is for babies. When you grow up, you have to drink beer. So maybe Pumping Iron, the 1977 documentary following Arnold Schwarzenegger’s historic sixth straight Mr. Olympia win, isn’t the best source of nutritional advice, but I’ll be damned if it isn’t an interesting, informative, motivating, and entertaining bit of cinema.
...
Filmed during 1975, the movie helped propel bodybuilding from an obscure, misunderstood sport into the spotlight. Thanks much to the charms of Arnold Schwarzenegger the movie was a success and while it wasn’t his first appearance in media, the documentary helped really launch the Austrian’s career a few years later as Conan The Barbarian.
Pumping Iron is perhaps better described as a docudrama, as pretty much everyone involved admits to there being a bit of staging and tweaking to heighten the drama. ....At its heart though, Pumping Iron is a character study of Arnold Schwarzenegger, his life philosophies, and the secretive world that surrounded bodybuilding at a time when it’s proponents and fans were viewed as outsiders (www.fitandfurious.com/2012/01/20/fit-film-friday-pumping-iron/).
Arnold Schwarzenegger started bodybuilding at the age of 15 and won his first Mr Universe Amateur title in 1967 at the age of 20. His goal was to become the greatest bodybuilder in the world, which meant becoming Mr. Olympia. His first attempt was in 1969, when he lost to three-time champion Sergio Oliva. However, Schwarzenegger came back in 1970 and won the competition, making him the youngest ever Mr. Olympia at the age of 23, a record he still holds to this day.

Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger (/ˈʃwɔrtsənɛɡər/; German: [ˈaɐnɔlt ˈalɔʏs ˈʃvaɐtsənɛɡɐ]; born July 30, 1947) is an Austrian-born American actor, producer, activist, businessman, investor, writer, philanthropist, former professional bodybuilder, and politician. Schwarzenegger served two terms as the 38th Governor of California from 2003 until 2011.
Schwarzenegger was born in Thal, Austria, a village bordering the Styrian capital Graz,..According to Schwarzenegger, both of his parents were very strict: "Back then in Austria it was a very different world, if we did something bad or we disobeyed our parents, the rod was not spared."[10] He grew up in a Roman Catholic family who attended Mass every Sunday....During a speech in 2001, he said, "My own plan formed when I was 14 years old. My father had wanted me to be a police officer like he was. My mother wanted me to go to trade school." Schwarzenegger took to visiting a gym in Graz, where he also frequented the local movie theaters to see bodybuilding idols such as Reg Park, Steve Reeves, and Johnny Weissmuller on the big screen
Schwarzenegger served in the Austrian Army in 1965 to fulfill the one year of service required at the time of all 18-year-old Austrian males. During his army service, he won the Junior Mr. Europe contest. He went AWOL during basic training so he could take part in the competition and spent a week in military prison: "Participating in the competition meant so much to me that I didn't carefully think through the consequences." He won another bodybuilding contest in Graz, at Steirer Hof Hotel (where he had placed second). He was voted best built man of Europe, which made him famous. "The Mr. Universe title was my ticket to America – the land of opportunity, where I could become a star and get rich...Schwarzenegger, who dreamed of moving to the U.S. since the age of 10, and saw bodybuilding as the avenue through which to do so, realized his dream by moving to the United States in September 1968 at the age of 21, speaking little English...
Immigration law firm Siskind & Susser have stated that Schwarzenegger may have been an illegal immigrant at some point in the late 1960s or early 1970s because of violations in the terms of his visa. LA Weekly would later say in 2002 that Schwarzenegger is the most famous immigrant in America, who "overcame a thick Austrian accent and transcended the unlikely background of bodybuilding to become the biggest movie star in the world in the 1990s"
Schwarzenegger began weight training at the age of 15. He won the Mr. Universe title at age 20 and went on to win the Mr. Olympia contest seven times. Schwarzenegger has remained a prominent presence in bodybuilding and has written many books and articles on the sport.
Schwarzenegger won the title for the sixth consecutive time, beating Franco Columbu. After the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest, Schwarzenegger announced his retirement from professional bodybuilding.
Schwarzenegger came out of retirement, however, to compete in the 1980 Mr. Olympia. Schwarzenegger was training for his role in Conan, and he got into such good shape because of the running, horseback riding and sword training, that he decided he wanted to win the Mr. Olympia contest one last time. He kept this plan a secret, in the event that a training accident would prevent his entry and cause him to lose face. Schwarzenegger had been hired to provide color commentary for network television, when he announced at the eleventh hour that while he was there: "Why not compete?" Schwarzenegger ended up winning the event with only seven weeks of preparation. After being declared Mr. Olympia for a seventh time, Schwarzenegger then officially retired from competition.
Schwarzenegger wanted to move from bodybuilding into acting, finally achieving it when he was chosen to play the role of Hercules in 1970's Hercules in New York. Credited under the name "Arnold Strong," his accent in the film was so thick that his lines were dubbed after production.His second film appearance was as a deaf mute hit-man for the mob in director Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye (1973), which was followed by a much more significant part in the film Stay Hungry (1976), for which he was awarded a Golden Globe for New Male Star of the Year. Schwarzenegger has discussed his early struggles in developing his acting career. "It was very difficult for me in the beginning – I was told by agents and casting people that my body was 'too weird', that I had a funny accent, and that my name was too long. You name it, and they told me I had to change it. Basically, everywhere I turned, I was told that I had no chance."
Schwarzenegger drew attention and boosted his profile in the bodybuilding film Pumping Iron (1977), elements of which were dramatized; in 1991, he purchased the rights to the film, its outtakes, and associated still photography
Schwarzenegger gained worldwide fame as a Hollywood action film icon. Schwarzenegger's breakthrough film was the sword-and-sorcery epic Conan the Barbarian in 1982, which was a box-office hit and resulted in a sequel. Schwarzenegger's breakthrough film was the sword-and-sorcery epic Conan the Barbarian in 1982, which was a box-office hit.[2] This was followed by a sequel, Conan the Destroyer, in 1984, although it was not as successful as its predecessor.[38] In 1983, Schwarzenegger starred in the promotional video, Carnival in Rio. In 1984, he made his first appearance as the eponymous character, and what some would say was his acting career's signature role, in James Cameron's science fiction thriller film The Terminator. He made a number of successful films, such as Commando (1985), Raw Deal (1986), The Running Man (1987), Predator (1987), and Red Heat (1988).
In 1984, he appeared in James Cameron's science-fiction thriller film The Terminator, which was a massive critical and box-office success. Schwarzenegger subsequently reprised the Terminator character in the franchise's later installments in 1991, 2003, and 2015 in a fifth Terminator movie Terminator Genisys (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Schwarzenegger).
Red Heat is a 1988 American buddy cop action film directed by Walter Hill. The film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, as Moscow narc Ivan Danko, and James Belushi, as Chicago detective Art Ridzik. Finding themselves on the same case, Danko and Ridzik work as partners to catch a cunning and deadly Soviet Georgian drug kingpin, Viktor Rostavili (Ed O'Ross), who also happens to be the killer of Danko's previous partner back in Soviet Russia. The film was released with the tagline "Moscow's toughest detective. Chicago's craziest cop. There's only one thing more dangerous than making them mad: making them partners." It was the first American film given permission to shoot in Moscow's Red Square - however, most of the scenes set in the USSR (with the exceptions of the establishing shots under the main titles and the final lengthy shot in Red Square behind the end credits) were actually shot in Hungary.
Captain Ivan Danko of the Moscow Police sets a trap for Viktor Rostavili, a Georgian drug kingpin and crime lord. The ambush severely backfires; Viktor flees the Soviet Union and comes to the USA, after gunning down several other Moscow cops, including Danko's partner.
Loudmouthed Chicago Police Department Detective-Sergeant Art Ridzik, investigates several local murders committed by Viktor's cartel. When Viktor is arrested in Chicago, Danko is dispatched to escort him back to Moscow to face justice in the Soviet Union. Unexpectedly, Danko and Ridzik find themselves partnered together when Viktor escapes custody, gunning down Ridzik's partner in the process. Danko is frustrated when his lack of a diplomatic license prohibits him from carrying a weapon. He shares his candid observations with Ridzik: "This Chicago is very strange city. Your crime is organized, but your police is not." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Heat)
Notoriously vigilant Soviet Police Captain Ivan Danko (Arnold Schwarzenegger) sets an ambush for a notoriously vicious Georgian drug dealer named Viktor Rostavili (Ed O'Ross). Viktor escapes the trap, and in the scuffle murders Danko’s partner. The vengeful Danko follows his prey to the United States, where he joins forces with Chicago Art Ridžić (James Belushi), a sloppy but effective police detective investigating Viktor’s gang’s local shootouts. The unlikely duo bickers throughout the investigation, but eventually finds a common ground, and take down the Georgian drug dealing menace. Oh, spoiler alert.
Red Heat opens with a flesh show that practically defines the era—homoerotic, tough guy posturing set to the creepiest electronic score this side of a John Carpenter flick. Unfortunately, the rest of the film isn’t nearly as over-the-top in its depiction of sex and violence, it’s mostly a less funny replay of the buddy action movie conventions Hill created with 48 Hours. The film features a much more common mid-‘80s action style than Hill’s best work, which often recalls Sam Peckinpah’s balletic violence (and predates John Woo’s most famous work). In this respect Hill fails to separate himself from the rather generic ‘80s studio action pack like John McTiernan or Paul Verhoven....The surprise element is Schwarzenegger, who’s eternally amusing without even trying. The script demands Arnold speaks with a Russian accent, and his inability to do so with any consistency is an utter joy, as are his deadpan responses to Belushi’s inane jokes (www.dvdactive.com/reviews/dvd/red-heat.html).
