About California Hot Bods
Taped in Can-Am's Los Angeles studios, CALIFORNIA HOT BODS is the mat action explosion that occurs when muscles collide. Three down and dirty pro punishment matches pits the unpredictably wild Jungle Stud against big blond bodybuilder Mike Mackey; cocky goodlooking Kelly Atkinson vs young musclehunk Don Michaels; and macho muscleman Antonio Ruiz vs hotbody beachboy Mark Hammer.
Directed by Ron Sexton, California Hot Bods leans on a strong ensemble — Jungle Stud, Mike Mackey, Kelly Atkinson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1997.
