Raw Iron
For the film's 25th anniversary, filmmakers David and Scott McVeigh tracked down the participants in Pumping Iron to follow up on their lives and see how the film's success had affected them personally and professionally. The resultant film, Raw Iron, also served to document the making of Pumping Iron, exploring the difficulties that Butler had in producing the film and the narrative choices he made. The film originally aired on Starz, and was later featured as an extra on the DVD of Pumping Iron.

“Wilmer Cook: Keep on riding me, they’re gonna be picking iron out of your liver.
Sam Spade: The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter.”
