Matt Brouse Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I remember hearing talks a while back of a movie called "Pulling John". What ever came of this? Is it still in the works? Hmm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 It is still being shot now. There is a site devoted to it. http://www.pullingjohn.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jad Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I emailed them as well and they pretty much told me the same thing they told Kyle. I got one of their T-shirts for my birthday. It's the one with Cleve Dean and Johnny Walker pulling on the front. I get some funny looks when I wear it but I could care less. Anybody have this movie: Livin' to Pull It looks pretty good but I'd never heard of it and wasn't sure if it was a ripoff or what. Any comments would be appreciated. http://www.livintopull.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Brouse Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 I might have to find a way to check that "living to pull" out. It cant possiblly be bad...I mean...armwrestling is intense any way you put it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florian Kellersmann Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Any updates on that? Are they still working on this movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I guess they are. And with Brzenk winning every tourney he's entering, they have more and more material. I guess it would suck if they complete the movie, and a few months after Brzenk does something amazing, and it will be left out. That might be why they don't release it yet.

Florian Kellersmann Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I found a similar thread in the northeastboard, where John Brzenk answered himself: http://teammaine.proboards107.com/index.cg...9166&page=1 The movie should be complete in spring 2007. I can't wait to see it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florian Kellersmann Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Good news: http://www.pullingjohn.com/news.html 12/19/06 - THE MOMENT WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR IS FINALLY APPROACHING. After a hiatus, PULLING JOHN is moving full speed ahead for a MARCH 2007 Deadline. Release Date will follow. Bessie and Sevan have teamed up with Navid Khonsari, known for projects like the videogame Grand Theft Auto and Chris Fiore, whose masterful editing skills have cut everyone from Jay Z to Christy Turlington while winning awards like Grand Jury Prize at Sundance with the movie, "John Henrik Clarke: A Great and Mighty Walk." Pulling John, the epic movie on armwrestling, will soon wow movie-going audiences everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifesnotfair Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Ditto! It took forever already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Man Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 (edited) Ditto! It took forever already! The question is will the end be anticlimactic? It will be if John pulls Rustam. I would like to see John pull Voevoda again with Voevoda at 280 and as strong or stronger than in 2004. Looking at the videos of John pulling recently, I don't think even Voevoda will have a chance but it would sure as heck make it interesting: the best this hemisphere ever produced against the best ever on the other side of the world. No disrespect meant towards Rustam, but I would hate to see this entire project end with John at 187 man-handling a guy half his strength.

lifesnotfair Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Well, doesn't John lose some strength going from 209 to 187? So maybe he wont win THAT easy... ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florian Kellersmann Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Gerrit, I totally agree. A fight with Alexey Voevoda would be a better end. But who know, when they will pull? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Man Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Well, doesn't John lose some strength going from 209 to 187? So maybe he wont win THAT easy... ??? Usually that is the case: when you drop weight, it seems you lose some power. When John dropped from 234 to 209, I hardly noticed a change, as is evident here.

Florian Kellersmann Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 This is a message from Gary Roberts posted in the northeastboard: I can't say much but....I got some word today that something is coming soon... There is a good chance we will be asking you to make a trek to a film festival to help support the debut in the next few xxxxx..(can't say when yet) CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??? AWESOME!!! Could you imagine the entire armwrestling community storming a music festival and knocking down the walls?? It could be a revolution!!!

blt7791 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hey everyone, I just went to see if there was any updates to the Pulling John movie. There's a what seems to be the poster for the movie on it now. Says site wil be updated in June. Kind of a bummer though that you don't get to watch the matches or profiles like before. There's only the Contact Us link. But atleast it's a change which means they haven't forgotten about us yet!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbrown Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I think the movie is closer to being done than people think. As far as when we will be able to see it is another question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
