I've always thought that casting him in the first "Terminator" film was one of the best casting decisions ever made. He was, of course, incredibly intimidating physically. Then, precisely because he didn't have flamboyant acting chops, he played it straight, with no emotion at all. Then, his "accent" made him sound a little more exotic, at least to American audiences. If you had cast someone who tried to show more range and emotion in that character, it wouldn't have worked nearly as well.

OJ Simpson was also in the running to star in The Terminator. Could you imagine how different the movie would've been if he got the part?

I still want the third Conan movie. An older Conan sitting on the throne, gives it up to journey past the western sea.

Yep

Yes. Pick up where they Ended it, King Conan on The Throne

[@ronblack7870]

i think pumping iron was a breakthrough . it showed his abilities and how smart he was the way he played mind tricks on lou ferrigno and also his humor . i remember seeing a clip for it on the tonight show and i thought that will be a good movie. it's still a classic. it opened the door to conan the barbarian.

I remember that I was so upset when he became governor in my great state. But now I look back at his policies and they were so incredible and now he's still doing incredible things for the environment and California. I love him and I love this story! 💕

[@gregvaldez1269]

Back then I was also not happy either regardless he has accomplished a lot in his long life and inspired billions.

[@mr.doctorcaptain1124]

Lol imagine living in California and being upset about Arnold as governor. How have the politicians in your state been working out for you since then haha

[@mare6851]

I hope he lives forever. He’s a legend.

[@MonkeyspankO]

Arnold was the embodiment of the American dream. You work hard, you risk high, aim high and finally score high if the market deems you worthy. I hope we're not loosing that today.

All movies after Hercules in New York were hugely successful, of course. I enjoyed all of them. But, we can't forget the first movie that started it all, "Hercules in New York". Thank you Arnold for all the sacrifices for your fans, we appreciate you.💛👍😁

[@cullenkehoe5184]

He was already famous after winning Mr. Universe because a popular documentary was made about him training to win Mr. Universe called Pumping Iron in early 70's. He got a cameo on Lucile Ball's variety show in the mid 70's. Got the movie Hercules in NY in mid 70's. He had plenty of exposure...wasn’t a nobody.

[@camq-py7bs]

7 Olympia tittles, huge actor and governor of California. What a life.

[@c.o.n.collectingofnostalgi889]

Why doesn't Arnold ever talk about the movie he did with Kirk Douglas 1979 The Villain ?, he was funny in that movie. It showed he had not only the action star quality with his awesome physical presence but he could be in a comedy which he then proved years later in Kindergarten Cop 🙂

[@jimmynelson9376]

I know Hercules in New York may have not been popular, but I watched it with delight. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be a comedy, but it made me laugh a few times. It was do good.

[@drhkleinert8241]

Everybody i showed that movie had fun and laughter. That whats about. You FEEL how many fun everybody had while filming this...yes, its a pure comedy.

[@jimmyc6686]

Wish he would've done more comedies.

In real life, he's Conan the Bavarian.

He said that about his 1st movie. She may have been asking about by the time he did Conan.

His thick accent is for show. It’s trademark. Look at his earlier movies. It’s reduced. Lol He’s a great showman.

For the German version of Terminator, they had to dub Arnolds voice because his Austrian accent is akin to a country bumpkin in that part of the world. Could you imagine a hillbilly from American saying “I’ll be back darn tootin’” 😆
