To me, the greatest part of this movie is that when Kyle Reese was wondering what Sarah was thinking of at that exact moment the picture was taken. Turns out she was thinking of Kyle. Lovers lost beyond time.

[@jjkhawaiian]

She reveals to John through time-captured cellophane that Kyle is his dad. "Otherwise, you could never be." Plus, the fact that John knew this from the time he reviewed those tapes that Kyle was his dad, but he'd have to send hime to his death, alone and naked. One day, I hope we NEVER discover time-travel because everyone's shit would get all fucked up. It would make 2022 look like a carnival.

[@ohedd]

Omg never thought about that 😭

[@dustinherk8124]

@@jjkhawaiian time travel exists, but it only displaces you in time, not in space. and earth is rotating at tremendous speed. plus it orbits the sun at tremendous speed. AND the sun rotates around the galaxy at an even faster speed, and the galaxy itself is hurtling through space towards the andromeda galaxy. so when you go back in time an hour, you end up dying in the vacuum of space, because, again, it only displaces you in time, not in space. to where the planet was, in the universe to where it is going is radically different when you factor in all these variables.

[@centuryrox]

@@josephamoraz7990 T3 is watchable, but in no way anywhere near the first 2 movies. Beyond T3, you're just wasting your time.

[@petemartyn]

"Never a dull moment" is right, this movie works as a sci-fi thriller, as an action movie, as a zombie horror movie, as a dark romance with themes of fate and loss and choice... it's just SO GOOD. The amount of care and detail that went into this is pretty extraordinary to read about (and their early thoughts on casting the Terminator are well worth looking up, trust me.) I think my favorite detail is that Arnold modeled the Terminator's gaze on security cameras. Every time he looks at something, his eyes rotate, lock on, and then his head swivels to match his gaze so he never loses the target. It's so subtle but drives home the robotic deliberateness he does so well.

[@lewisner]

My favourite detail is when you see the Endoskeleton from behind its shoulder blades are moving. That must have been really difficult to animate but they did it anyway, they were so great at their art.

[@bluubandette8871]

[@Chris-uk7gy]

Kyle said that whenever he looked at the photo he thought Sarah looked sad, and he always wondered what she was thinking about at the time. Then we see the photo get taken at the end of the movie and we see that she was sad because she was thinking about him. It's my favourite part of the whole movie.

[@philiphudgens4726]

Yeah I first watched this at a really formative age about 13 & that was a great poignant ending including the little Mexican kid who says "There's a storm coming" pointing at the clouds & weather. Sarah says "I know" solemnly ...not talking about weather! This movie had the similar effect on me as The Matrix which inspired me to watch this one even though it was old.- they really had a powerful effect on me. Now I'm 32 & movies no longer thrill like they do when you're in your teens...which is a bummer. 😁

[@PSYCHIC_PSYCHO]

My favourite scene is when Schwarzenegger's character gets into the cab of the lorry and says to the driver's mate "Get out ", the actor playing the driver's mate his reaction is so funny yet convincing, of course he wasn't going to argue with something with a half robot face.

That jump and yell at the lizard. 😄 I've always loved Sarah's character development. She went from care free innocent, to damsel in distress, to actively fighting. And most importantly, it all felt natural. The character didnt do over the top stuff that she shouldn't know how to do. And Arnold... The man knew how to pull off menacing. Then there is Michael Biehn. The guy did so much in the 80s and 90s. Very underrated.

[@thetallestdwarf7041]

I love Sarah Connor, she is such a great main character. Movies today show female heroes as magical beings who can do no wrong, and one is more boring than the next (because they can have no real development, if they already start out perfect). Sarah is a waitress who has her day ruined by a ball of ice cream, but she gets thrown into this impossible situation and learns to rise to the occasion. THAT is a character that the audience can sympathize with.

[@michaelb1761]

And in the sequel, she knew what would happen and trained to be ready for it. Even if she was thrown in a hospital for mental patients, she never let her target out of the sight.

Your reactions were the best part of this review. The jump scares and the screams. Asia's hands covering her face and BJ's "llllllllllllllllllook." when he saw something cool. It was all just too much. Great reaction guys. This was EXACTLY what seeing it in the theater in 1984 was like.

[@Trashed20659]

This couple is adorable. I loved watching this movie with them, because I have seen it so many times, but it was like showing it to friends who have never seen it..

[@GrouchyMarx]

@ 21:48 This is why the phrase "I'll be back" became iconic! 😁

[@SG-js2qn]

You'll want to see the sequel, T2, for sure. "The Terminator" was low budget (only $6.4m), but a great story. No real CGI back then, of course. I'd say his best film is "True Lies." You guys will love it. :) A few years before "The Terminator," we had the movie "Alien." I hope you're going to cover it. It was a very influential film. And it has a sequel, "Aliens."

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

T2 is typically said to be better but it's different so better might not be the right way to look at it. True Lies is a great film. Nothing like having humor piled onto tension! Alien and Aliens, yeah, some really bad a$$ery going on with those two. Both stand alone in greatness. Great reaction / review y'all. Be safe

[@i.m.7710]

Aliens

[@ronb8500]

Sorry but the 2 Conan movies are popular and made good money and they came out before this,

[@SG-js2qn]

@@ronb8500 You know, I wondered about that, but remembered wrong. I should have checked the dates. You're right, of course. "Conan" came before "The Terminator."

[@jjkhawaiian]

@@ronb8500 I always felt it was a box office mediocre pull and Arnold was still not speaking English well that some of it was obviously dubbed in. But, it's fame became and instant cult classic for fantasy and comic book hero movies. It was R-Rated and very occultic and pre-medieval warfare, so you lost families and most ladies, unless they're with their boyfriend/spouse or like those kinds of movies. I liked both Conan movies. But, nothing comes close to the Terminator series. I'd place Predator above Conan, too, but that's a close second.

[@josephD32]

"I'll Be Back." The first time Arnold used his now signature phrase. ... ... ... Kyle used to wonder what Sarah was thinking about in that photo. At the end of the movie, when the photo was taken, she was thinking of him. The ending has been altered from the original theatrical release. In the original, when she drives towards the storm, the scene fades back to the Terminator, it's red eye lit.

[@drlee2]

"There literally has not been one dull moment in this movie." Exactly! lol Your reactions encapsulate why this film holds up so well almost 40 years later. Everyone involved, starting with James Cameron, really put their hearts into this film. The main 3 actors Schwarzenegger, Hamilton, and Biehn as T-800, Sarah, and Kyle were exceptional and even the minor characters like Sarah's friends and the cops and the psychiatrist felt completely real and lived in. You saw how Schwarzenegger walked like a robot/cyborg early on before knowing he was one, then realized he looked more robotic in appearance right after he got burned. The movie cleverly and slowly reveals his robotic nature as the movie wears on. It's fast paced action, yet somehow manages to give important plot details and exposition that doesn't slow the film. Not once did it feel like this film cheated or skimped on the viewer. And it was a very low budget of only 6 million dollars, which was peanuts even way back then. Low budget, high execution. EDIT: I'm going to be the dissenting vote and say that I don't think T2 is better than this. It is what it is, but I've always preferred T1. I had problems with T2, but had no such issues with T1.

[@ashokupad]

Oh, without a doubt the original is best. T2 is a lot of fun, but is also a distinctly "Hollywood" film. The humor is less natural, as exemplified by the obvious use of one-liners. It was also a poor choice to make the Terminator "loveable".

[@jennhurl]

What I learned from this episode of Reelin' With Asia & BJ: BJ can say the word "LOOK" 30 times in a row in 5 seconds or less. 🤣👏👏👏

Everybody talking about T1 and T2, but your reactions themselves are just so satisfying and hilarious to watch. This channel is quickly becoming to top movie reaction channel because of you two!

[@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ]

Thanks ❤️❤️

[@Milner62]

T1 and T2 were great movies. I enjoyed T3 as well for what it was. T4 how ever they tried too hard and started messing it up and it just fell apart there. Back in the early 90s when T2 came out, I always wished for them to make a T3 that ended the trilogy with the nuclear war taking place. Then if they wanted to start another trilogy then have it fully set in the future between judgement day and the day that Kyle is sent back and the war is won. That would have completed the whole series creating a perfect loop back to the first movie.

[@terrylandess6072]

It's great that young people today can still watch 'important' films from the past and get why they were so popular. Obviously there is 'baggage' associated with many of these films that come in the form of prequels and sequels which aren't a secret, but It's good to understand the source material so one can make up their own minds about the value of media that follows the originals.

And the actor who played the street thug at the telephone booth is in both as well. He plays Hudson and has a few lines that became super famous phrases, the most iconic one I think being "Nuke 'em from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

[@mrd4785]

The 80's was all about action, sex scenes, stye, music, cool one liners, gore, violence... Studios often pursued at least an MA or R rating and the video box and movie posters wore it like a badge of honour. All the kids at school would brag about all the stuff they got to see over the weekend like Terminator, Predator, Robocop, Cyborg, Conan, Mad Max, Aliens, Rambo etc. I remember going around to my friend's house for play time and his mum had let him rent out this absolute pile of filth. One minute there were boobies everywhere and the next, people were getting limbs chopped off left, right and centre. My mum then picked me up and asked what we got up to LOL. It is kind of the opposite direction that films are going in these days. They're all chasing family friendly ratings and cutting out all of the visceral, exciting and realistic stuff. Don't get me wrong though, there are great movies of all kinds of genres from this era - but these were the ones the boys used to boast about seeing the most. People went nuts over horror too. I really pity the kids these days, as all they seem to have to watch is reruns of PG rated Marvel films that Disney churns out. Its like they're tapped out of imagination. The 80s was a really cool time to be growing up - so much happening on top of a backdrop of war and famine in a lot of places and the cold war. The Japanese were on the ascendancy and buying up everything, and this plays out in a lot of futuristic stuff like Blade Runner, Back to the Future 2 and Robocop. One thing I notice with younger audiences is that they often don't get the context of the time or the background themes and messages that some of the films are putting out. I often forget how many movies from the 80s stood the test of time and are there for another generation to discover.

[@LA_HA]

Mr D: [Edited] And studios weren't afraid to try out stuff and give talented writers and directors a chance. And mixing genres was fairly usual. Like The Terminator was sci fi horror, the same as Alien/Aliens. But, it's so cool to see Michael Myers in the character of The Terminator. Even the part where he burned after the truck was blown up was almost exactly like Myers stumbling, falling, and burning at the end of Halloween II. So fun to see that reference as a Halloween nerd. Carpenter did the right thing using Myers as one of the templates for the villain. haha

Full respect to this comment. I was born in the mid 80s, and watched all the classics in the early to mid 90s. My parents were absolute legends for letting me watch all the things that they probably shouldn't have lol

[@Milner62]

Even the game industry is doing the same thing. Just look at Tomb Raider games every game since the original her bust has gotten smaller. Its just like the game Terminator Resistance, that was a great game and they put in two optional sex cut scenes in that was very Terminator like and felt like it was heavily inspired style wise from this movie. But the developers were told last minute to censor the cut scenes. Its sad cause I do not believe we will ever go back to those days where movies sought the R rating and games sought the sex appeal. Too many people ignorantly think you cant have nudity or sex and do it tastefully. All one has to do is look at this movie there was nudity but it went with the story and tied everything up with a nice bow. It wasnt thrown in just for the sake of having it.

Until the first Spiderman in the 90s, those were the only two mega production franchise features. Sure, they had TV shows and made for TV stuff, but not big promo type content.

The only sequel worth watching is "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" (1991). The rest of the Terminator films are garbage. Also if you want to watch another masterpiece from the 80s with amazing special effects then you need to watch John Carpenter's "The Thing" (1982). One of the greatest horror movies ever made.

You guys are so much fun to watch! Please do Terminator 2 next but the theatrical cut (it's better than the special edition).

[@miriam8376]

💯 agree. James Cameron’s Special Editions always explain things that don’t need to be explained. Makes the stories drag and kills tension by answering a viewer’s questions too early.

[@andreadeamon6419]

Nah. All the twins, the smile and removing the chip gives it something special

[@thepodbaydoorshal]

@@andreadeamon6419 It's cool as a second watch or as extras on a DVD but it ruins the tension, especially the extended ending which isn't needed. The original ominous ending is better IMO. But hey let's not argue too much because we'll end up giving away spoilers. Both versions are good, but one is superior, is all I'm saying😁

[@ChavaAyanna]

I feel like I'm spamming your comment section LOL . But another fun fact about this movie is, Sarah Conner's room mate was famous aerobic instructor Bess Motta. She used to have her own Public Access Cable Aerobic exercise show

[@Fyrecide]

I was born in 84. Such an iconic year: this movie, Ghostbusters, Ninja Turtles debuted, the George Orwell book, Dune, Gremlins, Transformers cartoon, the Van Halen album "1984", Prince's Purple Rain, the game "Tetris" released... the list goes on and on! ...and of course... me 😂

[@possiblecat]

You guys are so much fun, you add immeasurably to the movie and bring it back to life, even though I've seen it a few times. I think you could both be in your own movie; I'd certainly pay for a ticket.

[@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ]

Aww ❤️❤️ Thanks

[@okmickey232]

Thanks guys, can't tell you how much I enjoyed that! I was a teen when this came out, it was a HUGE hit, that had massive significance. No kidding, only yesterday, nrly 40 yrs later, I pulled up after giving my son a lift, and said to him in my Arnold voice as usual, 'Get Out...' They have no idea what I'm on about!

[@ryanstarkey3011]

Couple crossover points for you guys from this one. Ginger's boyfriend was Rick Rossovich, who perfectly played Slider in the first Top Gun. Reese in this movie, played by Michael Biehn, played Johnny Ringo from Tombstone, 2 movies I know you enjoyed. Can't wait to catch up on your reaction to T2!

[@markoconnor4110]

This is my favorite movie. Watched this 100 times since it came out.

[@LilFireFox]

Two things, one, who else was 'waiting for it' when they kept saying, 'She's with the cops, she's fine. They got 30 or so cops there, it's ok.' And two, b/c of this movie, I do fully believe Sky Net is gonna happen. Look at the world now and what we can do with technology. Hell! Even our phones! The Machines will take over in the future.

[@NoelMcGinnis]

The ‘80’s had some amazing movies. First Blood came out in 1982(date edit) The Terminator in ‘84, Aliens in ‘86, and all of the teen classics like the Breakfast Club. I graduated high school the year this came out. EVERYONE was talking about it.

[@marcleitman9778]

The 4 beat sound when the Terminator appears is his heart beat, which beats in a 4 beat rhythm.

[@ChavaAyanna]

4:42 -- The Blue Spiky Haired dude in this movie is Bill Paxton, who played Bill in Twister

[@markwest9119]

Great choice! Really looking forward to it. There's almost universal agreement that Terminator 2 is the best movie of this franchise, but it wouldn't make any sense without first watching Terminator "1". You guys are really smart, so your followers I'm sure are resting assured that you will include Terminator 2 in your lineup. : -)

[@jimmiewyatt6819]

Sooner the better! James Cameron can do sequels well! Aliens Terminator 2

[@jonlandin2440]

This one is great. Part 2 is almost a family film and not as good IMO. Then they really get stupid after that one.

[@ScubaDiverPicker]

Def almost Bc I Love The first Terminator movie more than 2. It was grittier and had that 80’s vibe on 11. I’m also a fan of Alien over Aliens so I’m that guy.

[@davidh7123]

Agree with the last two comments that I prefer Terminator 1 to the sequel (even tho the sequel is still good). I find the sequel to be a little more of a family movie trying to appeal to all audiences, kind of a big blockbuster popcorn movie with some cheesy one liners and tropes, whereas the first was more original and smarter in my opinion. T1 is one of a handful of movies I could throw on anytime, anywhere and it just makes me happy (even tho it's dark and a horror if that makes sense lol)

[@TF-lk6co]

Terminator 2 had revolutionary special effects, but the screenplay for Terminator 1 is untouchable. So it just depends what you like in movies (I strongly prefer the original).

[@stephenireland3816]

The reason Kyle was able to fall in love with Sarah wasn’t just the photo but because John knowing Kyle was his father talked to Kyle about Sarah. So Kyle got to know Sarah through John but never knew John was his son. In 1984 my late brother and I saw this twice at the cinema we loved it so much. Its great reliving some of these classics through reaction video’s. You guys are fun!

[@chadstephens2720]

Need to sceenshot your faces throughout the entire movie. So funny. Love hearing you both trying to figure out what's going to happen next and then you end up being right.

[@richrobledo6561]

When you two say it took you awhile before you understood what was happening- that was by design. That’s part of the movie viewing pleasure is being kept in the dark. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@marleybob3157]

I'm sorry but the look on Asia's face at 35:28 is simply priceless. Definitely worth the price of admission!

[@karlschmitt6359]

You really need to watch Terminator 2 now so you can learn about John Connor and Sarah Connor! There are some really cool surprises! The first Terminator movie came out when I was a senior in high school! Asia you better bring your blanket again for the next Terminator movie! Have fun! It was fun watching you two scared out of your mind! Thank you two for your hard work!

[@chacod.hastiin3775]

😀😂😂 loved it when Asia was cracking up everytime the terminator kept going. Lol. You gotta see the next one T2. You have to. 👍🏽 Nice job and fun watching with you both Asia and BJ.

[@evoletsenpai550]

What many people forget: James Cameron did the unthinkable in movie history: He included a s*x-scene that was actually important for the plot 😉

[@nostradumbass7959]

best pick-up lines ever in this movie! "come with me if you want to live" "your son saves the human race" "so,i just saved your life like a dozen times and your son sent me back to father him.wanna bump uglies? oh, yeah, I love you and came back in time for you or something"

[@KitsyX]

Probably not as good as Darth Vader's pick up lines though... "From the moment I met you, all those years ago, not a day has gone by when I haven't thought of you. And now that I'm with you again...I'm in agony" Or... "My heart is beating...hoping that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul, tormenting me...what can I do? I will do anything you ask... If you are suffering as much as I am, please, tell me." Or... "I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth." And finally, we musn't forget this last gem... "I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead, every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children, too. They're like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals. I HATE THEM."

[@catherinelw9365]

@@KitsyX SW has horrible writing.

[@KitsyX]

@@catherinelw9365 Well, in some ways it's good... I mean, you can have a trashy action film that is arguably bad, but somehow is still written in a satisfying way... Star Wars is written well in some ways, but not so much in others... Dialogue has never seemed to be Lucas's strong point though lol.

[@mena94x3]

🎉🎉🎉 I think this was my favorite reaction to this movie. 😂😂😂👍🏼👍🏼 You guys are so much fun! 😘

[@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ]

Thanks ❤️❤️

[@karlsmith2570]

Fun Fact for you BJ and Asia: Michael Biehn who played Kyle Reese, Bill Paxton who played one of the punks the terminator killed in the opening scenes of the movie and Lance Henrikson who played the white police detective all costarred together in "Aliens" as the Colonial Space Marines Hicks, Hudson and Bishop respectively Bill Paxton also had a cameo appearance in "Commando" and costars in "True Lies" as well as appearing in Predator 2

[@jimmyz9666]

Matt going toe to toe with an 800lb killing machine and even causing it to stumble is some badass shit.

[@MasterJohnMoss]

I consider this a perfect movie. Also AWESOME: 'T2', 'Alien', 'Aliens', 'Predator' and 'RoboCop'. All must-sees. Oh yeah, and 'The Road Warrior'!! Mind-blowing action.

[@TheRussian13]

I can't count how many times I've seen people react to this movie and say "did he just rip his heart out?" It's funny because you can clearly see he just punches into his chest with a closed fist and his fist remains closed when he pulls his arm out. It's even funnier because I remember thinking and saying the same thing when I first saw this film when I was about 11, so at least I'm not the only one. This is still one of my favorite Sci-fi Horror movies of all time, it was especially impactful on future Sci-fi movies.

[@manbearchuck6644]

Asia's facial expressions during the reaction are TOO MUCH! lmao i love y'alls videos!

[@bradcolorado8149]

"I'll be back" his most famous line ever

[@orlandoruizjr3834]

A bonafide classic. I love this movie. It's an action film, a si-fi film, and a horror film, all in one. And yes, Arnold was Mr. Olympia, seven times! There are actually six movies in this franchise, but honestly, they should have stopped after T2. The first Terminator is great, but the second is one of the greatest films ever made. So the movies after that one could never recapture that magic. Especially since the director of 1 & 2 didn't direct the rest of them. Keep watching these classics. Loving the reactions. You two are on a roll.

[@lastrada52]

"Close the door!...close the door!...close the door!...." You two are hilarious. "Terminator II" with Arnold again will surprise you. Wear seat belts & a helmet. The fellow who played Kyle (Michael Biehn) at that time also played a similar role in Aliens II (1979) with Sigourney Weaver. Another film where he played opposite a hero woman & supported her.

[@MrOscarDaSilvaVieira]

The original Alien was ‘79, Aliens was like ‘86

[@khawk5857]

You guys are hilarious! This was my favorite movie of all time. I watched the very tape so many times it snowed the screen and wouldn't play anymore. Awesome movie and great reaction. Love you guys!!

[@donpietruk1517]

I love your guys reactions. It's like I'm sitting in my living room with my friends watching a movie and we're all reacting to it. We used to sit in the basement of my parents or my friends parents house and watch Kung Fu movies on weekend afternoons. Eating junk food and practicing Kung Fu moves!

[@lynnesears6254]

I sure did enjoy watching the two of you watching this. Handling fear with laughter. I look forward to more.

[@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ]

Thanks ❤️❤️

[@billrab1890]

Outstanding reaction. It's obvious that the two of you are genuinely nice people and it's a pleasure to watch your reactions. I'm sure that you're receiving lots of suggestions for movies to watch but if you want to see another movie that has no similarity in story to 'The Terminator' but it is similar in that it will keep you on the edge of your seat in suspense and maybe have a few unexpected suprises then I highly recommend watching 'Alien' from 1979.

[@amosglitterz2649]

Asia covers her face, BJ sits there grinning! 😃

[@zq9m3xh8]

Guys, you actually made this movie even MORE FUN than when I first saw it! I have not yet joined anyone's Patreon, but I just might have to join yours! And just WAIT til you see Terminator 2!!! Personally, I won't say it's better, because I love this first one so much, but it IS EVERY bit as good as this one! It's one of the very best sequels I've ever seen, of any film genre. Thanks for a fun time, you two! 😎💞✌

[@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ]

Aye ❤️❤️ Thanks Michael! Think you’d like the full movie reactions in Patreon, but glad you’re watching with us either way

[@shainewhite2781]

Before Schwarzenegger was cast as the titular cyborg, OJ Simpson was considered but James Cameron changed his mind saying, "He's too much of a nice guy to play the role of a ruthless killer." 😳🤦 Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, Lance Henriksen and Tom Selleck were also considered as well. Bruce Springsteen, Michael O'Keefe, Kurt Russell, Sting, Treat Williams, Christopher Reeve, Matt Dillon and Scott Glenn were considered Kyle Reese. Lisa Langolis, Jennifer Jason Leigh Jessica Harper Melissa Sue Anderson Rosanna Arquette and Lea Thompson were considered for Sarah Connor.

[@meminustherandomgooglenumbers]

OJ didn't do it.

[@KandiStomper]

I lowkey want a tom selleck terminator. A terminator with a legendary mustache. Yes plz.

Lea Thompson would have fit. Not sure if she would fit T2 tho.

This is one of my favorite films along with The Thing 1982 and Perfect Blue 1997. I'm glad you two got to experience it.

[@CalciumChief]

Finding someone who doesn't know these films feels always so magical. Back in my day you didn't even have to see the movie to know what's going on cause everyone would make a parody/homage of it. 20:19 Animatronic puppet of Arnold's face. That or stop-motion. With all the new Blu-ray 4Ks you can really see the difference where he becomes more "rubbery" for one shot.

[@serenavox5540]

This video was so much fun! It’s always strange to me to see people who haven’t watched these before but I enjoy it so much. I know the movies inside and out but I can kinda relive those moments through this! You guys are great! There’s a lot of Terminator films now, while the later ones are questionable quality I still enjoy them all regardless!! New subscriber here. ❤

Even if they haven't seen it, they would at least know vaguely what the movie is about and what a terminator is.

It’s wonderful to see how much you too enjoyed the movie…. It holds up well after 38 years…. I remember going to see it in high school! One of the coolest films I’ve ever seen still… such a tight script… excellent story… And it catapulted Arnold Swarzenegger’s career into the stratosphere…. He was perfect for that role….
