Film Review: Rock’s Winning Workout Without Weights (1990, dir. ???)


IMG_8834

This is probably the weirdest thing I have ever written about. This is what appears to be a really bizarre unreleased amateur workout video from 1990. A guy named Rock is going to guide the audience through exercises that don’t involve weights with the help of what appears to be a homeless guy named Zar, two surfer friends, and an old man named Dorral Silverthorn.

It begins with Zar doing some exercises including crunches and jumping. Then it cuts to Dorral Silverthorn.

He goes off. He’s angry about what he calls the “two-faced” hypocritical government. He complains about Prohibition being repealed. He says my new catch phrase: “Booze is a loser. And a loser is a boozer.” He briefly talks about how the government is spending a lot of money to curtail drugs coming into the country, but not enough on homegrown ones. Then it’s back to the workout.

This is the first of the two surfer dudes. I believe they refer to him as big Zaddi. He then has a foot race with Zar after Zar tries to jump so high that his head hits the ceiling.

Now we meet the next surfer dude named John who takes us through a few more exercises.

We see Zar ride a bike and then it’s goodbye to the audience.

The movie ends with Zar chilling in a pool.

Oh, and during this whole thing some really depressing piano music plays.

This may be the strangest thing I have ever written about. I don’t normally do this because things get taken down off of YouTube all the time, but here’s the full video if you want to see it. It’s really short.
