2076 Olympiad (1977)
Funny satirical farce
25 March 2006 - 4 out of 4 users found this review helpful.
I saw this movie at a preview in Chicago and it was a funny spoof on coverage of the Olympics and television in general. Even Sex had become a sport in 2076. It was like watching 90 minutes of TV coverage of the Olympics in 2076 complete with commercials. If it were released today it would do better then it did in the late 70's. I would still like to get a copy of the film. The writer/director has made a number of feature length documentaries since then under the name of Jim Martin. Including Wrappped In Steel, about the SE side of Chicago, 90 minutes, won Best Network Documenary at the Chicago Film Festival, and Fired-Up, about Public Housing won an Emmy. Both aired on PBS.
