Buns Of Steel is one of those curious entries from the late '80s that straddles the line between fitness and light-hearted entertainment. It's got this upbeat, almost relentless vibe as it pushes the idea of toning up in a way that's both humorous and earnest. The pacing feels like a workout video mixed with a documentary style, with an emphasis on the physicality of the body. Practical effects? Well, it's really just people exercising, but it sometimes feels like a performance art piece. The performers are enthusiastic, almost over-the-top, which gives it this distinct flavor. It's all about that concept of shedding indulgence, like a fun way to confront the era's obsession with body image.
