Biceps of Steel

About This Movie

Biceps of Steel (1980) takes a wild swing at the classic Samson and Delilah tale, draping it in a rock and roll vibe that's both playful and absurd. The pacing is a bit uneven, mirroring the chaotic energy of the music scene it depicts. Our hero, a super roadie with a heart of gold, navigates a world filled with over-the-top bouncers and an equally outrageous femme fatale who, let’s be honest, plays her role with a certain campy charm. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add to the film's quirky allure. It’s the kind of film that makes you appreciate the oddball subgenres of the era, straddling comedy and drama while delivering a unique slice of musical storytelling. Definitely a curiosity in the collector’s realm.
