Product Description:
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a pleasant surprise (Los Angeles Times) in his acting debut opposite Jeff Bridges (Seabiscuit) and Sally Field (Forrest Gump) in this richly comic and sparklingly exuberant (The Wall Street Journal) story of a young businessman who discovers himself in the wild offbeat world of bodybuilding!When entrepreneur Craig Blake (Bridges) buys a small gym he fully expects to demolish the place to make room for a high rise. Instead he finds himself drawn into a world he never knew existed. From a perky gymnast (Field) who wears her heart on her leotard to a philosophizing Mr. Universe hopeful (Schwarzenegger) the freewheeling spirit of the gym touches Craig in a way he never expected and plunges him into a hilarious off-the-wall plot to stop his high rise from ever rising!Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: NR UPC: 027616907233 Manufacturer No: 1006559
Amazon.com:
Quirky is the keyword here--but quirky in a highly entertaining way. Directed by Bob Rafelson, this film stars Jeff Bridges as a not-so-good ol' boy. Wealthy and aimless, he is involved in a real estate deal with a group of high-powered partners--and his only responsibility in the whole shebang is to evict the tenants of one building that needs to be torn down and has a gym filled with body builders. Disconnected from everything in his life, he feels a bond to these outsiders, particularly the surprisingly articulate, fiddle-playing Arnold Schwarzenegger (in one of his first film roles). He also finds himself attracted to the blue-collar gym employee played by Sally Field and so becomes an impediment to his own business partners. Oddly funny and affecting, a sleeper that never had much of a release. --Marshall Fine

Rating:  - Stay Hungry - No Sustenance Here!
I'm sure this movie was written just to showcase 3 great stars: Jeff Bridges, Sally Field, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's a story about a guy trying to save his gym from being taken by the bad guys. Ho hum! It's a riot to see the biggest of the big (Arnold) standing next to the smallest of the small (Sally Field). She's so cute! Nothing much here except 2 great movie stars and early Arnold with packed-on muscles.
Rating: - I stay hungry
Noticing Arnold was in this movie, was what drew my attention to Stay Hungry. The backstory to some of the characters I felt was kind of unnecessary. What I mean was that they could have done better. It was an entertaining movie nonetheless. I just think the title of the movie could have had a little more focus.
Rating:  - Avoid!
The editorial review here on Amazon said "Stay Hungry" never had much of a release. And it may be for a good reason. The movie never decides whether it's a drama or a comedy. Most of the time it's drama and occasionally it switches to farce. Unfortunately neither the drama or the comedy parts are in the least entertaining. The actors do a good job but the script is boring and pointless, except for the one scene, where Scatman Crothers yells at Jeff Bridges. Fans of Bridges, Field or Schwarzenegger ... Read More

Belive it or not arnold won a golden globe for this film. I shows him as well as several top bodybuilder from that era including Franco Columbu,and Ken Waller. See an early film with robert england "freddy Kruger" as Arnold's "grease man" LOL
Rating:  - Stay Hungry
I've been a fan of Arnold's for a long long time and enjoyed following his career as a bodybuilder and actor.
I recently re-read his autobiography "Education Of A Bodybuilder" which is a great look into the life of this interesting and dedicated individual. The movie "Stay Hungry" was mentioned so I figured I'd try to see if I could check it out. Fortunately my library had a copy so I gave it a shot.
My wife and I just finished watching it and all I could say was "That's ... Read More
