How you not put hugh Jackman as Wolverine? That changed everything!
Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. There's even a video where Michael B. Jordan (himself a bona-fide Buff Dude) has talked about how Hugh set the blueprint for superhero physiques in Hollywood
Nope
Hugh should've been renamed as Hugh Jacked-Up cause he was the absolute peak of perfection in the second wolverine film.
@@GhostDog8"Huge Jacked Man'
That frankly seems ridiculous. Jackman is an amazing actor, seems like a swell guy, nothing but respect for his jawdropping transformation, but in the fitness world he's mostly known for his bad genetics. By the time he made his infamous emergence from the tank in Origins, there had been all sorts of inhumanly buff physiques on display in movies for decades; the era of twink tarzans and fat supermans was long over. In particular, to take just one example, as that movie came out people were still talking constantly about a certain years-old other one, a small indie flick called 300. This one, you may have heard, had dozens upon dozens of bodies that (like that of the "Jackman-type" leading man, another handsome, good natured older guy with an accent) actually looked aesthetic and were often more muscular than Jackman's, if a bit less ripped. I think Mr. Jordan just personally liked and respected (and who wouldn't?) Jackman and wanted to pay him tribute.
I think the critical aspect is superhero films. I remember growing up with Michael Keatons rubber nipples. Batman.
A good one is Captain America: The First Avenger. When they reveal Steve's transformed physique.
That's a good one!
Cap 2 where Chris Evans bicep curls a flying helicopter.
@@Michael-mo6gxhell yeah brother! 💪 🔥
@@Michael-mo6gx That was Civil War - but yeah, epic moment.
When I first watched that movie as a kid I thought pre-serum Steve Rogers was the actor’s real physique and the all the rest of the movie was special effects, I was too dumb.
Even when Brad Pitt hits the gym he wants the Brad Pitt body from Fight Club.
Guys I just wanna say, as a 10+ year follower, how you guys manage to keep it always cool, interesting and classy.
Thank you! And thank you for sticking with us!
I would also include one of Jean Claude Van Damme’s movies “kickboxer”! Without a question all Rocky - Rambo movie series and Arnie’s Conan and Commando! Lou Ferrigno’s representation of Hercules was culturally epic!! Also Dolph Lundgren’s He-Man was an epic cult portrayal of a super hero!! Honorable mentions: Brad Pitt’s Achilles, Chris Hemsworh’s Thor, Henry Cavill’s Superman 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Brad Pitt’s Achilles body is way mote better than of his body in Fight Club!!
Not a really well known film, but Showdown in Little Tokyo has Dolph Lundgren at his absolutely hugest and most jacked ever. Plus it has Brandon Lee in it too.
love that movie, the one liners are killer
Great movie
Dolph was at his biggest in He-Man and it wasn't even close. (Though leaner in Rocky and pretty impressive there too.) In Little Tokyo he was mostly back to normal.
Dolph was my physique inspiration as a little kid. I couldn't believe any man could actually look that beautiful and wanted to grow up to look just like him. Of course at 5'3" and brown colored I seem to have somewhat bungled that aspiration but I like what I ended up getting quite a bit! He doesn't seem very huge to me anymore but his aesthetics are breathtaking for a tall man, who normally don't look anything like that. He has as aesthetic a chest as any man on the Olympia stage has ever had; it is utterly perfect. Stallone worked so hard to look great for Rocky IV; it is a testament to his humility and dedication to his art that he was very excited to have someone distinctly looking even better than him to properly portray the nearly superhuman Drago.
In 2016 at 18 years old, that same Batman training scene was the spark that fired up my love for training. Fast forward to '23 and MANY Buffdudes videos later, ya boi standing at 220 strong.
Dude that's awesome, congrats!
@@buffdudes My thanks to you ❤️
Brad Pitt kinda had the same physique in Guy Ritchie's movie "Snatch". He was pretty ripped in that one and played a hilarious character as well.
Snatch is an excellent film.
Snatch was right after Fight Club I believe so that maybe why, he just relaxed a bit because he said that Fight Club physique wasn’t really manageable. Personally I think his best physique was in Troy as Achilles
Ryan Reynolds in Blade 3 changed my life. I didn't understand how people became muscular until i saw him transform for Van Wilder to Hannibal King. There was a magazine article on how he trained and behind the scenes stuff on the dvd that opened my eyes. Up to then, i thought people were born muscular, like tall or short. I didn't know what protein was either. I learned so much from his diet and it really set me on my path as a Fitness Instructor and my local leisure centre.
That was big for me too! I enjoyed Ryan Reynold breaking down what he had to do in order to achieve his physique. If I remember right, he broke his diet and workout routine in pretty good detail. -Hudson
definitely with his extra curricular drug usage
He looked so good in that movie and it was a pretty big inspiring moment for me too, although I don't remember seeing his workout info. That Prison Break dude looked pretty good too for that matter iirc.
My dad is also a huge Steve Reeves fan, so I distinctly remember watching Hercules and Hercules Unchained. Reeves was a physique for the ages.
I really enjoyed this video! I love your choices. Even though there are no sequences of Christopher Reeve training in Superman, it has always inspired me to train hard because he transformed his body to play the role of Superman. I also greatly admire the way that he dealt with his disability after he was paralyzed. I have a disability myself, cerebral palsy, so the idea of Superman has always appealed to me. Thank you so much for continuing to educate, inspire and entertain us with your videos.
As a UK kid growing up in the seventies i agree Christopher Reeve was, and will always be Superman, he was a good man, with morals and empathy for others, i wish he was still around today in this crazy world we live in, there don't seem to be many role models nowadays.
Christian Bale in American Psycho , Equilibrium and Batman Begins was impressive. Taking into account how much weight he lost for The Machinist and a few months later he was Batman .
Fun fact (Aside from seeing all those films and a few that weren't covered and loving all of them) : In Predator, Jean Claude Van Damme was initially cast as the Predator before abandoning the role and giving it to Hall. As a final note, Bloodsport was one of my favorite martial arts films, mainly because Van Damme was jacked and that started my fitness journey.
We forgot to mention that!! Would have been a completely different movie if he would've stayed.
JCVD was fired from Predator. He was a nobody at the time. Shit happens. I’m glad he was, as he would not have made a good Predator.
The suit JCVD was wearing for predator looked like Barney the dinosaur, the movie would not have been an all time classic if they went with that. So pleased they changed it, I like JCVD but nothing can beat the way predator looked. One of my favourite films ever.
Somewhat surprised you guys didn't mention Pain & Gain! Not necessarily an old or classic movie, but definitely involved muscleheads and I personally loved it.
maybe the buff dudes didn't like sex toys
I loved Tom Hardy as Bane. Those delts and traps? That's a peak power look.
Yeah! In overall it’s far from an attractive body but for Bane role it’s perfect. It resembles the Bane from the comicbook series
Tom hardy in warrior was the one for me. Less mass but more defined.
300 was the movie that got me into fitness so many years ago. The trainer mark twight is an incredible inspiration in his approach to training for purpose. I ended up working as a PT and finished a degree in sport and exercise science and i believe that this movie was the thing that initially inspired me. Watching 300 spartans that lived, ate and breathed training to physical perfection to become the ultimate soldiers was incredible.
Bloodsport! That movie got me to the gym so many times. Jean Claude Van Damme always had the best training montages. Loved the Buff Dudes list, seen them all! 💪
Surprised you didn't mention the Rambo films. Those had (and still have) an impact on me.
Really enjoyed this type of video, maybe do some more similar, perhaps taking a look at workout and diet routines of actors for movie roles
The bizarre thing you have to realize about Brad Pitt in Fight Club: He was almost 35 years old. When he had his breakout role in Thelma & Louise he was 27.
You guys put together the perfect list. The entire Rocky series still inspires me to this day. If I am struggling with a workout, I hit the Rocky IV soundtrack to get through it. Works every single time.
I always marveled at the bodies of McConaughey and Bale in "Reign of Fire"
Batman v superman was definetely the most influential on my fitness journey
Amazing Stallone impression, and a great list. Liw comment numbers, but I live the format. You guys are having so much fun, perfect hangout video!
i just watched Predator recently. Still one of my favorites.
Bloodsport and Kickboxer with Jean Claude to me were an inspiration.
Personally, I prefer the era where body builders acted rather than today, where actors are built for the movie.
Oh they are the best bro! Jean has really inspired me.fxcking legend
Man love all of these movies and moments y’all chose! It’s like you looked into my childhood and picked almost everything that inspired me to hit the weights. I agree with Hudson, Predator will always be my favorite 🙌🏼 love you guys
Matthew McConaughey in Two for the Money has been my inspiration. First saw that when I was just getting into exercising and watching him in that movie was amazing.
I've always wanted to be ripped than jacked, that's why it's Brad Pitt's physique in SNATCH for me, more than his in Fight Club (though I'm closer to this one lol). Then you got Ryan Reynolds's physique in Blade Trinity, Scott Adkins' in the Undisputed films, Cam Gigandet's in Never Back Down, and Alexander Skarsgard's in The Legend of Tarzan. Those are my target physiques.
My first two thoughts were the rocky franchise and Predator. Carle Weathers was jacked in both of those.
Chris Pratt transformation is pretty incredible too
My first real motivation as a kid who got bullied a lot, was Goku from Dragon Ball Z !!! Im 34, and im in the best shape of my life, its been almost 20 years since I started the fitness path! And when I need a little bit of motivation... I come here to watch your greatvideo ! Thanks guys
Although not from a movie Stephen Amell's Green Arrow training montages could also be a good reference/ motivation. Especially every time he does the salmon ladder.
Yeah that was sick
Cam Gigandet in Never Back Down was the one that motivated me the most.
Hell yeah ! That physique is just sick
Mine is Wall-E. When i saw the amorphous blobs loosely resembling humans, I knew there was a physique i could commit to.
You don't see it much, but Brandon Lee had a good physique in "The Crow", there's some shirtless scenes after he returns from the dead & before he dons the outfit and facepaint. Brandon didn't really show himself off too much. Was re-watching his dad in "The Way Of The Dragon" & there's a scene where he's just stretching and flexing, showing how jacked he really was at the time.
Amazing list, guys! I would top it off with Conan the Barbarian. It's one of the most complete movies in the action genre.
YEAH! Conan is the real man.
I find that Conan adaptation really good as a comic book reader
Wolverine in X-2 really did it for me. Dude was such a badass.
Hercules was the first movie I saw in a theater as a teeny little girl (it was probably the 2nd one Hercules Unchained) and Steve Reeves was my first movie crush. Not only the perfect build, but he also had the most beautiful blue eyes. Thanks for reminding us just how incredible he was.
Really cool concept for a video.
Hey Dudes! These movies inspired me to become a trainer myself too and i love them all. I would add Bloodsport too to your list cause Van Damme is peak at this movie and also inspired Mortal Kombat!
Fantastic list ! For me it was the Jean Claude Vandamme movies at first and then Fight Club, Troy and 300.
Loved this. Just watching this was motivational!
When I first started working out, my goal was focused on getting Ryan Reynolds' Blade Trinity look and though i never fully achieved it, it made me fall in love with weight lifting and have been going ever since. Now i shoot for the Henry Cavill in Man of Steel look, or Geralt if I'm getting bulkier
2 favorites: Bloodsport with a shredded JVD. And the russian guy chasing Gerard Butler in rockinrolla. That guy was jacked.
Lol The way you guys described first seeing Predator in segments censored on TV is how most of us who grew up then saw it. I remember seeing terminator 2 on TV as a kid and they cut out the scene where he cuts the skin on his arm off in front of Dyson , and it just cut to them having a freaked out reaction to it.. made no sense.
One of the Christopher Nolan Batman films showed Bruce Wayne falling to the floor to push-ups. This featured Christian Bale who played Patrick Bateman in American Psycho.
Conan the Barbarian? I’ve lifted every set since seeing that film for CROM. The robert e howard books as well…what a rad series.
A memorable scene with Steve Reeves in an old 1960's movie 'Morgan the Pirate' always stuck in my mind. The villain challenges Steve Reeves to a sword fight and confidently starts to take his shirt off... to show he means business. As he's doing so he looks over his arms and see's Steve Reeves also taking off his top. When he sees Steve's physique he thinks, nah maybe not.... i think i'll keep my shirt on. 🤣
I am a fan of Clint Walker. There is a video on UA-cam about his 1960’s workout. Also Clint Eastwood’s early lean physique. But, one of my most favorite physique Arnold’s in Predator.
Such a good list! I grew up watching Predator almost every weekend it felt like at times. 300 came out during my high school years and I think all of us just rushed to the high school weight room after watching that one. And yes I agree, Blade Trinity was a terrible movie, but Ryan Reynolds shirtless on his knees had me doing sit ups every night for like a month lol In case there is a part 2 coming in the future, I'd offer up Terminator. Has a slimmed up but still jacked Schwarzeneggar getting bullets removed from his back or the blue t-shirt while removing the skin from his arm is a classic physique. Also, Charlie Hunnam in Green Street Hooligans was pretty inspiring as well.
I can’t believe you did not mention Never back down, the original of course, that was pure motivation in my high school era.
The buff dudes still going strong, you love to see it!
Might as well have played the Rocky 4 soundtrack to the Bruce training montage.
For me it was Jean Claude van Damme movies. He looked like a Schwarzenegger/Stallone Hybrid and he also wasn't as lean but still looked good.
Great list! For me i would add "never back down" to that list. 😁👍
A mention would have been Alan ritchson from the jack reacher series who’s also in fast x
If testosterone were a movie, the original Predator would be it. One of my top 5 favorite films of all time.
Nice pick! I thougroughly enjoyed some of those movies!
By the way, I saw Clint Walker in Dirty dozen in the initian part, talking about insane genetics!
Stallone's physique in RAMBO 3 is a must mention here....😎
I saw Clint Walker in the begining of your vid! He was very cool!💪👊
Yes, he was! We included Dirty Dozen on the list but for some reason my editing program was having a hard time processing the clips so we had to cut that portion out of the video.
American history X. The body of Edward Norton was insane!!!
Great list!
More of this please!
Hahh, "I want the Brad Pitt body in Fight Club"
To be honest that's exactly what I'd say to a personal trainer as well...
Great list!
I heard this today.
I think Ryan Reynolds was more jacked in the remake of Amityville Horror.
Hello I would like to ask you a question...what protein powder do you use?
I really like these guys. My buddy lives in bend oregon, I’ll visit him soon and I hope I’ll see buddy dudes around there
I remember my grandad showing me Predator when i was 5 because i liked monsters 😂 my mum was NOT happy, but its still my favourite to this day (im 32) and Conan!
Another Brad pitt inspiration movíe is Troy, his physic is amazing in that movie
Had the exact same thought. Dude was jacked in that movie
Finally new video , protect Duke for me he is a real treasure
Tom Hardy in Warrior is also great example, got buff and learned the moves
that batman movie is iconic, I still see people hyping it up to this day. Henry Cavill as Superman was the thing that inspired me to start lifting
PItt himself said he went through absolute Hell to get in his Fight Club shape, and wouldn't have been able to do it were it not for his age and his trainers. It's NOT an easily obtainable physique particularly if you're not already skinny to begin with.
It's fine to admire these physiques but please understand there are A LOT of dudes with body dysmorphic disorder who are killing themselves trying to obtain that which they physiologically cannot.
Although not shredded in the vintage uniform. It was the fictional MAN OF STEEL SUPERMAN played by Christopher Reeeves that got me and my peers young in Jamaica to start working out. I literally wanted to be the man of steel. It was a thing then to punch someone in the stomach to see how tough they are. Also the Hulk by Lou Ferrigno'
Great list guys! Only one I’d add(and this just my personal pick) is Chris pratts scene in the first guardians. Not as jacked or huge as a lot of these guys, but you wanna talk about inspiration? Never have I ever been so inspired to go from bigger, bulky and basically chubby lol, to wanting to lean out and actually look good! Which is literally what he did. From chubby Andy on parks and Rec to badass marvel hero.
Stay buff 💪🏽
Can you do more videos like this reacting to movies and tv shows of characters who are “fit”
7:26 There's something that a lot of people dont understand. When you really look at it, Brad Pitt's fight club body is really just low body fat with some muscle. You could just follow a calisthenics routine and a calorie deficit for a couple years and it'd get you there. The only reason it looks so good and its so iconic, its because that's Brad Pitt, nobody else really can look that good that way
Getting low body fat is actually hard too. It takes discipline in what you eat. Don't undermine that.
There are scenes of batman training in Batman begins. It's not like crossfit/strength training like batman v superman, but he does some calisthenics and other martial arts training. For me, Batman Begins was the movie that inspired me to get into fitness.
So i may have asked this question, but i'm gonna ask it again.
i've been working out now since January 2023. (from 280 down to 220 or so?) and i want the body physique of @7:32. how difficult would it be? how many months, how hard, what kind of work out? (i read somewhere that the workout he did to acquire that physique was ridiculous) i work out 4-5 days a week anywhere between 15m, to 1h. (1h M,T,W,F, and 15TH) so i have a ways to go, but is it do-able? is that a healthy physique?
1991 Max Cady in Cape Fear. DeNiro was 48 years old in that role and did his scary transformation without the benefits of 30 years of knowledge we have today.
@5:47 appreciate the commando reference gents.
We want more funny buff dude reviews😂😂
I’m Hans.
I’m Franz,
And we’re gonna “pump your up.”!
Great video, dudes!
Toby Maguire in the first Spiderman film when he wakes up buff.
Brandon Lee in The Crow
Matthew McConaughey in Reign of Fire
Christian Bale in Batman Begins when he gets out of bed and does push-ups after chugging his shake.
...and many more.
Also Henry Cavill in Superman - shirtless in fisherman’s village.
How about Michael Jai White in Blood And Bone? A bit of an obscure movie, but the guy's jacked to the max in it.
Hey Guy’s your content is great. Keep it up! Those are defintely solid choices, BUT I was wondering if you would do a follow up of your fav BUFF LADIES from movies. Give them some love AND show how hot they can be! Thanks Guys
When I saw Rocky training on old equipment while the Russian dude was getting shots, I guffawed. Like Stallone didn't get shots for that film.
What does the abbreviation "T.R" mean in the Buff dude 12-week plan logbook section, "total reps" ?
Yep! Total Reps
Hugh Jackman Wolverine, Tobie Maguire Spider-Man body, Chris Evans Captain America transformation. A lot of good ones that stick in my head
I lost it at the "Alien Sylvester Stallone" bit haha 😂😂
As someone who just binged 5 Rocky movies and dont know what to do with myself anymore, this video dropped at the perfect time
Have a favorite?

Seeing the striations in Stallone's biceps in Rocky 3 fascinated me! I was like wtf!
Should do a list for best MMA or boxing montage movies
Don't know how you missed off Hugh Jackman as Wolverine !!!
Tom Hardy in Warrior. That's what got me into weightlifting and still motivates me to this day
There was a book that showed Bruce Lee's workouts called The Art of Expressing the Human Body. I bought it when I was 19. I did karate at the time and bought it to learn how to lift weights to supplement my training.
