Stay Hungry, starring Jeff Bridges, Sally Field, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and many others youll recognize (including Freddie Krueger) was filmed in Birmingham. The movie opens with exterior shots all around Birmingham as three separate drivers converge on the Bank for Savings Building, which serves as the setting for the Developers office. The Blake Manor is actually a house on Mountain Brook Parkway. The Olympic Gym is set on 2nd Avenue North downtown. Craig walks down 20th Street North with Mary Tate after dinner at Joy Young Restaurant. The party scene takes place at the Country Club of Birmingham and the Mr. Universe competition is staged at Boutwell Auditorium. The final mayhem spreads from Boutwell, down 20th and ends, famously, with bodybuilders posed on the fire escape stairs of the Lyric Theatre.Water ski scenes were filmed at Warrior River... correction, the bodybuilding contest was filmed in theater at Birmingham Southern. . it was a low budget pic and they could never have afforded the extras to fill the Boutwell. The bar scene was shot at Diamond Jims Warehouse on 1st ave. n .any corrections appreciated.
