    Arnie already made his comeback and made up for Junior and Last action
    Hero. 
    
    Rememeber a film called True Lies?
    
    (IMO)

    Well, even though you might think "True Lies" was awful it was a hit!!
    I wouldn't say he has a lot riding on this movie.....and as far a T2
    goes, I think it would of been better if he was still the bad guy. To
    me he sold out by being the good guy and of course they had to put a
    kid in the movie to get the attention of the younger viewers. T2 was 
    nothing compared to the first Terminator movie.  

    
    
    True Lies and T2 are totally different genres of film.
    
    I think they were both Excellent!

    We can always rely on Chris for a bit of blind devotion...:^)
    
    
    I thought they were both good, but preferred T2
    
    
    I.

    
    
    Not blind devotion
    
    for example: Kindergarden Cop isn't on my list of favorites!

    >    I am far from the only person who thought "True Lies" was simply awful.
    >    Arnold hasn't had a good movie since T2.
    
    Well this Arnold fan though T2 was horrible.  I'll take "Arny tries to
    be 007" over "The Kinder Gentler Terminator" movie anyday.  T2 was 
    destined to stink the day Arnold demanded his role be turned into a
    good guy.

    On the contrary, I thought he pulled of the Terminator re-programmed
    to be nice(er) quite well. Loved when he shoots the guard in the leg
    "He won't die" :)))))

    	RE: .7
    
    	I think he said "He'll live", to be exact.

    	I see you have the same rare affliction that Ken Swanson does
    	which keeps you from accessing the WWW IMDB.  8^)
    

    
    No comments on Matrix or Quaid???  Two Ah-nuld classic roles.

    Hell, what about "Predator", probably one of his meanest, coolest,
    action packed, I'll be the only one left standing, kick @$$ flick?

    The guy who played Sully is one of my favorite "where is he now

    the guy.  His best role was in "Dreamscape."

    He was pretty good in The Warriors too.  I remember when that movie
    came out, and I wanted to see it, but couldn't because it was banned
    for a while right after it came out.
    
    Saw it several years later on TV...

    Ahh Ahnold was teRRifiC in T2...I liked it even more than Terminator...
    I have both movies and can't get thru the 1st one...b..o..r..i..n..g
    T2 was the best of both..
    
    With the special effects and a terrific leading lady (Vanessa), 
    Eraser should show Ahhnold in top form.... I wonder if they put
    just a little romance in this?....well it couldn't hUrt!

    Seen Eraser and thought it was okay.  Some of Arnolds dialogue was hard
    to understand.  Director didn't do to well with that area.  Now True Lies
    was no problem, then again it was James Cameron.  Anythoughts?
    
    h.d.
    

    
    
    Did Arnold use any of his classic Terminator lines?
    
    "I'll be bACK"
    "F%$K YOU A$$&*LE!!"
    "HASTA LA VISTA BABY"

    That reminds me of a joke:
    
    What do you get if you cross Arnold with George Formby?
    
    
    
    "Can you 'ear me motherf%&keeeeer???"
    
    
    I.

    re -1
    
    Who is George Formby??
    
    Pete

    
    Sorry, should have put a disclaimer in for our colonial cousins...:^)
    
    George Formy was one og the UK's great tradition of "quirky"
    entertainers that your grandma used to like.  He played the banjo and
    was responsible for such twee little tunes as "when I'm cleaning
    windows".  He appeared in films and he had a catchphrase that he used
    all the time, which was "can you 'ear me mother?" in a high-pitched
    yorkshire accent (if you foreigners have ever heard one).
    
    
    HTH.
    
    
    I.

    Mr Handley
    
    2 points.
    
    1. Not a banjo but a eukelele(sp).
    2. Catch phrase was 'turned out nice again'.
    
    Otherwise yes.
    
    dickie.
    

    
    Of course, ukelele.  Mea culpa.
    
    As far as the catchphrase goes, I was trying to simplify things for
    those non-believers among us, but since you mention it, yes, you're
    right.
    
    
    Smart a$$
    
    
    :^)

    Mr H
    
    I forgot to say well done sir! for managing on spurious grounds to get
    a run of notes about George Formby into an Arnold Schwarzenegger topic.
    They said it couldn't be done.
    
    dickie.

    >in a high-pitched yorkshire accent
    
    And did George Formby come from Lancashire.... 
    
    Cheers,
