Product Description
CLASSIC CONTESTS - 1977 Mr. America, 1977 Mr. U.S.A.
'77 AAU Mr. America - See the full posing routines of the top 9 men, just as the judges saw them. You'll see: Jeff King, Don Peterson, Tom Platz, Ron Teufel, Dave Johns, Doug Beaver, C.F. Smith, Clint Beyerle, Pete Grymkowski and Manuel Perry. Includes some compulsories from the Prejudging.
There are fantastic posedowns of all the top men from each class, and intense "side-by-side" muscle battles. DAVE JOHNS won the title and later went on to win the NABBA Amateur Mr Universe crown. MAE WEST presented the trophy to Dave Johns in what was we believe her final public appearance. What a shame we were not able to record her priceless comments to Dave and the other placegetters.
This segment runs for 40 mins.
'77 AAU Mr. U.S.A. - You'll see these stars of the 70s: Rod Koontz, Billy Arlen, Richard Baldwin, Joe Means, Floyd Odom, Pat Neve and C.F. Smith. This was an intense battle, with Smith being disqualified by the judges for continual posing during the "stand relaxed" instruction from the judges. It was a most controversial decision as SMITH was exceedingly popular with the huge crowd who felt cheated by his harsh exclusion. ROD KOONTZ won the title which possibly may have gone to Smith if it had not been for this incident! Draw your own conclusions from the
RESULTS below.
C.F. Smith was a Medical Doctor, see photo below.
This amazing segment runs approx 15 mins.
TRT of this DVD is 55 minutes of Class Contest Muscle Flexing Action!
