Case Number 15243: Small Claims CourtAmerican Gladiators: Ultimate Workout
Lionsgate // 2008 // 89 Minutes // Not Rated Judge David Johnson's American Gladiator name was "Rash." The ChargeGet in the ultimate shape of your life. The CaseHey, weakling. You want to eliminate fat and shape muscle? (Their words.) Six muscle-bound freaks of nature from a failing game show beckon you to whip your pathetic behind into something even remotely resembling the human body. And they have just the workouts to make you scream for mercy. Seriously, if these blocks of granite with hair are wheezing during these routines, there's an excellent chance you'll be finishing the workout in the ICU. Fine, I'll be finishing the workout in the ICU. The program is broken up into three routines: • Muscle Madness Strength 1 • Muscle Makeover Strength 2 • Cardio Crusade When starting up the disc you can choose which programs you want to add—go either one or two or all three, depending on how much trauma you want to apply to your soft tissue. The workouts are well-staged and the Gladiators are amiable, though the choreography isn't the most precise you'll see—most of the time the backups are out of sync with the lead. The back-and-forth banter can be corny, which might be the reason Lionsgate threw in a somewhat awkward option to go through all the routines with only the music audible. Bottom line: you get a lot of bang for your fitness buck. The 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer is clean and the 2.0 stereo blasts out that nondescript accompaniment music. Three bonus workouts are included on the disc: Glute Gauntlets, Ab Quake and Arm Assault. Not guilty. Similar Decisions
