Arnold Schwarzenegger: Carnival in Rio "Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in this this short travel log of the night life of Rio de Janeiro during the annual Carnival." Watch this all the way through. I laughed so hard I cried.

William Goldman tells a great story about Ahnohld and Andre the Giant in the 70's; it goes something like this:
Andre liked to take his friends and acquaintances out to dinner. even if he didn't initiate the eating experience, he always insisted on paying. one time, somewhere in Mexico, he and Ahnohld were enjoying a nice meal. Andre got up to use the bathroom, and when he came out he saw Ahnohld over at the cashier paying the tab. he lumbered over, grabbed Ahnohld by the shoulders and picked him up from behind. he turned and set a helpless Ahnohld aside saying, "I always pay for dinner."
apologies to the fore-teller for the shoddy retelling.

Yeah, Ahnuldt looks big and he is sorta big -- at 6' 2", bigger than yours truly, although that's not much of a distinction -- but an awful lot of it is camera angles and the rest came out of bottles and jars as well as weightlifting. He'd look like a little boy compared to some guys I've seen who weren't cut, ripped and vee-shaped but were simply freakin' 4XL armoire-sized individuals. Andre, though, was arguably a special case.
