* ''Film/PumpingIron'' is not an entirely factual documentary, some subplots and details were made up to add more drama to the film. For instance, while Ferrigno was an amazing bodybuilder, it was widely accepted that he did not have a serious shot at beating Arnold for Mr. Olympia. Arnold and the producers also added the bit about the missing towel to make Arnold come off as more of a ManipulativeBastard; they just took some footage of a bodybuilder who misplaced his towel and then added a ConfessionCam where Arnold (falsely) claims that he will use such methods to {{gaslight|ing}} his competition.
