The Strongest Man in the World [VHS]

All good

“The Strongest Man in the World” is a fun movie but not as entertaining its predecessor “The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes” and “Now You See Him, Now You Don’t.” It is definitely worth watching but it is a bit slow and could have been better. You get the idea that the characters are getting a bit tired by their third movie together. They just did not seem up to the task. It would also be nice if Dexter Riley would stop changing girlfriends. These films are not about that aspect of college life, but it is a bit distracting to have these unexplained cast changes.

What an incredible documentary about this amazing young man! I had no idea such talented people exist! Clean and jerk of 1,100 pounds is no small feat; Steve Austin and Jaime Sommers are the only other people I know of capable of this feat. Of course Popeye could do it with a can of spinach, but that's fiction.I'm so glad Dexter was able to get a cereal endorsement for his efforts, too many times these days world class athletes are chewed up and spit out by the show biz machine.I'd like to see Dexter matched up with Andre the Giant if he were still alive today.This documentary and Pumping Iron are two of my favorites, but I think this is a bit more entertaining since Dexter does not have the heavy accent that Arnold Schwartz 'n egger had, making it easier to understand.

These old Disney Kurt Russell movies are refreshing to watch during these times of hate, anger, and violence that is all we see on tv.

Funny movie

Movies today are filled with agendas and ignorant messages. It’s good to go back and watch “MOVIES”.

so much fun to watch the old disney classic films. worth the time to check it out.

This movie is typical of the live-action Disney fare from the 60s and 70s. Harmless fun based on a silly premise. Kurt Russell was always so fun to watch in his Disney movies. This is the type of movie that was on Sunday nights when I was a kid and afterwards on various local stations and finally on the Disney Channel before they started original programming and adding other shows of a dubious (but more "hip") nature. If you like silly fun for the whole family, check out this title or any other family movie that features Kurt Russell, Tommy Kirk, Fred MacMurray, Joe Flynn, Ken Berry, Keenan Wynn & Ed Wynn, Hayley Mills, Jim Dale, Dean Jones, Tim Conway, Don Knotts, Robert Morse, Phil Silvers, or Mickey Rooney. You won't be disappointed!!!

i liked joe flynn getting to be the center of attention for awhile but no formula could make anyone that strong. i didn't like the hypnotizing of scuyler with chinese accupunture. besides that it was ok.

Medfield College science major Dexter Riley (Kurt Russell) and his classmates have been working on a new vitamin compound when a lab accident creates a supercharged mix that ends up in Dexter's cereal box! After breakfast the next morning, Dexter is transformed, possessing a superhuman strength that levels lampposts and destroys doorknobs. The powerful formula comes to the attention of the college dean and two rival cereal companies, touching off a hilarious chain of events. Ultimate control of the moneymaking formula rides on a weight lifting match between the pitifully small Medfield team and the superior State challengers. It's a mixture of fun, comedy, and adventure that will have everyone exploding with laughter!Funny movie especially for kids.

Ein Typischer sehr guter Walt Disney Film. Witzig, Spannend und sehr Unterhaltsam. Aber leider nicht auf Deutsch obwohl er im Deutschen Fernsehen schon kam. Eine Hand voll Studenten (Einer von ihnen Kurt Russell mit zartem 20 Jahren) in einer kleinen Amerikanischen verschuldetem Universität Experimentiert in einem Labor mit einer sehr Dünnem Kuh um ein Mittel zu Finden das einem mehr Apettit auf Essen macht. Aber durch ein Missgeschick wo Chemikalien umgeworfen werden entsteht ein Mittel das einem unvorstellbare Kräfte gibt, King Kong kräfte ohne das die Studenten was davon merken. Dieses Mittel kommt irgendwie in die Frühstücksflocken von Dexter Riley (Kurt Russell) der die Haferflocken mit Nachhause nimmt. Als er was Davon Isst hat er Kräfte wie King Kong. Er kann Autos Hoch heben Laternen maßte umknicken, und 20 Meter Hoch Springen. Durch diese Erfindung ist die Universität gerettet. Mit dieser Erfindung nehmen sie an einem Gewichtheber Wettbewerb teil wo sie gegen Lauter Schwarzeneggers antreten müssen. Und am Ende von diesem Wettbewerb Gewinnen die Studenten. Aber ist es kein Wunder. Wenn man so eine Erfindung gemacht hat kann man ja auch nicht verlieren, oder?Ein sehr Witziger Phantastischer Walt Disney Film den man unbedingt haben muss. Ihr werdet euch Kapputt lachen versprochen Also unbedingt kaufen. Schnell.......

Very funny and cute show ! I would recommend this for the whole family !

a classic from the70's a favorite as a kid
