For sure they are. First terminator movie was absolutely terrifying. The music had such a possessed feel to it. I think Michael Beihn as Kyle Reese was such a gem to this movie but is often overlooked because of Schwarzenegger being the big name.
@@darthXreven yes ! That was the best terminator game that has been made. Fighting the future war was so cool. Almost like a glimpse of places the movie didn't take you. I also loved how the terminators would progressively get more difficult to destroy.

No one could ever ever get close to doing this again, it’s from a time where making these types of movies on this level of budget was very risky and chancy, making decisions and hoping they are correct, but not truly knowing, everything about it is awesome, a time where shit balling CG wasn’t around, they used REAL effects and stop motion, and I’d take those any day, I can tell instantly when movies of today are CG it’s such a let down. 1984 man the good days.

You have to understand someone who is a pro at one thing and trying to learn to be another. He wanted to participate in the creative process and that was his only way, copying from another story. That was not a characterization choice, that was a script choice. That's what he didn't understand. Actors don't choose to be drunk in a scene, the writer and director does. You can play it as if you're drunk, but you'll probably be fired.
Arnie was absolutely right about the whole "A machine doesn't look down where to place the feet on a bike/how to put shells in a shotgun" - it just KNOWS it. And yes, Yul Brynner was terrifying as a robot in Westworld. Those eyes and that lifeless face made him perfect.
it really is weirdly inspiring in a way to know that Yul Brynner's terrific performance in Westworld is somewhat responsible for the Terminator that we know today
@canthemum And I think it played a lot on HBO in the 80s before T2 came out. So rentals and cable TV is where most people watched Terminator for the first time.
He made the smartest decision to play the Terminator. When the Terminator movies are made no matter which one they will never not need him. His likeness his face his body. They're always gonna need the t-800 in those movies and however he is in the movie, they need him. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a smart man. And not to mention he is an awesome actor.
For all the people who laugh at and criticize Arnold for his acting, you have to remember that this man not only identified and recognized, but also recreated the uncanny valley effect before it was even a mainstream concept. His ability to play a machine and be convincing was what made the first Terminator so scary, allowing it to be a cross-genre pic-sci-fi AND horror.
@@beastinsight9825 You are absolutely right. Because Terminator was not based on any preexisting source material, the film itself IS the source material. James Cameron may have written the character, but Arnold Schwarzenegger added the embellishments and, most likely, changed up some of the action scenes and dialogue to truly bring the character to life. Without Schwarzenegger's input and Cameron's respect for that input, we wouldn't have such an iconic character.
@@fantinuum1040 Thanks ;) Schwarzenegger brings so much heart to everything he does, doesn't freakin' hold back, ever. "Don't hold bach!!" haha could be a new line
T2 was definitely the better movie. in every way, it is probably as close to a flawless film as you can get that being said, Arnold's performance as the O.G. Terminator in T1 is by far the best performance in any of the Terminator films. T-1000 was really good but no one could come close to how terrifying, calculated, and unstoppable his presence was in that film. He was just a brutal killing machine with the physique to match Conan definitely turned Arnold into a household name. But his role in the Terminator pretty much launched him into a megastar
He. I work at SNL. I see you are a natural joke teller. I was wondering if you’d like to host the show sometime this upcoming season. Let me know and we will set it up.
@Mark Richardson Wrong...acquitted does not mean innocent. It simply means the jury had enough doubt that they could not under the law find him guilty. Does not mean he did not do it. All it means is the prosecution could not prove it beyond a reasonable doubt to the jury. Law states that there must be beyond a reasonable doubt to make a guilty verdict.There were to many mistakes made by the prosecution and the fact the one cop they had on the prosecutions side was suspected of being a racist sure did not help their case. So in a TLDR version...acquittal does not mean innocent or that he did not do it. All it means is the prosecution failed to prove to the jury beyond a reasonable doubt (which is required by law for guilty verdict) that he did it.
Wow! I watched the Westworld movie just before the TV show came out in 2016. The first thing I thought was that the Terminator character must have been influenced by the villain in this movie in the way he was relentless, machinelike and just would not stop until he got the job done. To hear Arnold mention this is awesome!
If Schwarzenegger had got the 'Kyle Reese' part it would have been the Jai Courtney of all f**kups. Post apocalyptic survivors are half starved surviving on stuff like Rats, and would not be built like a Godamn Tank. Even the incredible Michael Biehn was a little too muscular for the part. But He brought the intense PTSD and electric chemistry with Linda Hamilton's 'Sarah Connor' that made Him absolutely iconic. The casting of this Film is beyond perfection. 💖💖💖💖💖
"I'll be back," is perhaps the most iconic line of the movie. Even (the very few) people who never saw it know that line. Good thing James Cameron was insistent it remained unchanged. Just imagine if, upon Arnold's suggestion, it became something like, "For now I will go. But, believe me, I plan to return." Not quite as impactful.
Terminator, Predator & probably Commando were the most iconic movie's he's ever made..probably Conan and Red Heat too..I also enjoyed End of the days which was the most underrated movie but brilliant acting
zak iqbal esp if you grew up in the 80's! Tango&Cash,Bloodsport,Best Of The Best,American Ninja,Rambo...etc was amazing. I miss the movies from those times.I watched Commando not long ago and it was almost comical but as a kid i must of watched it 20 times!
It's really funny how restricted Arnold was when suggesting changes to Cameron, whereas with Biehn he was so loose and open with different directions. You can really feel the frustration in Arnold's voice as a enthusiastic/perfectionist actor, for me it's completely relatable but Cameron probably wanted the Terminator character to be fully his idea of a perfect antagonist as that was the 'make or break' feature of the film
Arnold is such an inspiration. Look at his accomplishments, he was the paramount of body building, the greatest action star of all time AND the governor of California. Wow.
Along with being disingenuous, a steroid abuser to the point his kidneys failed, and of course, a misogynist, adulterer, and a bit of a self involved sociopath that can lie and smile at the same time about anything, including the woman he had a child with living in his house with his wife. Yeah, what a role model, but hopefully not for your kids, just you?
@Real World Warrior lowen oh fuck off with that shit, people like you are what's wrong with the world today! You just look for ways to be offended on other people's behalf, it's the reasons good comedians can't do shows anymore and we get this stupid woke comedy that's absolute rubbish
Terminator (1984) Feat. Phased Plazma Rifle in 40 Watt Range. .45 Longslide with a laser scope. Pump or Auto AR. And my personal favourite... Oozi nein Milimeda.
I personally think Arnold Schwarzenegger is an unbelievable human being. He would make an excellent Teacher for young kids. Can you imagine having him as your Teacher at school, so positive so encouraging.
Arnies is a really clever guy, he knew where was going with his career, and always made sure to network with the right people to deliver a high quality action film
Michael Biehn's scrawny body fit the role of a post apocalyptic resistance fighter, a mountain of muscle like Arnie just would've looked the out of place.
@@CynicalOldDwarf And that was PRECISELY why people criticised Jai Courtney's appearance in Genysis. Well built with a nice haircut? Where the hell would he find a gym and a barber in post-apocalyptic LA? 🤣🤣 Biehn and Yelchin were the best
Dude, watching him talk about how this all started gives me goosebumps. This movie franchise has been a part of my whole life growing up and I can't wait to see T6 in 2 months! So excited that JC is back!
Good one, Arnold knows something about acting even though some diehard movie viewers won't give him much credit as an actor. I think his acting critics need to learn to view his performances without preconceptions.
Arnold's the face of science fiction and fantasy films. Conan, Terminator, Predator, Last Action Hero, Running Man, Totall Recall, End of Days, The 6th Day, etc
Graham Bensinger is a master interviewer. This man has perfected the art of listening. His questions are open-ended and brilliantly conceived. So thankful to see such an instructive video.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: "As I was sitting there and having lunch, for some reason or the other I started talking more and more about the Terminator..." Interviewer: *"Whut?"*
Arnold as The Terminator is the action movie equivalent of a classically trained thespian’s Oscar winning performance of King Lear or some shit. That’s how perfect he was for the role.
Everything Arnold is talking about is right. Everything I remember about his T1/2 is subtle movements from the terminator. Like the sudden jerk of his face the way he walks completely straight or the long distance scanning stare he does. Just the expressionless face he makes when he's gunning down 30 police officers is chilling. Arnold was born to play the terminator.
The terminator was the most iconic movie ever. Arnold wasn't only larger then life but, the best character portrayed ever. The cast is epic... Arnold was epic... the fuckin flick was LEGENDARY.
Arnie may have took the role from OJ but the original Term' script had the Terminator as an 'every man' type character & it was Lance Henrikson that was lined up for the role. Jim Cameron even had pictures done & had Lance in for costuming, but they went with the 'walking tank' type Terminator. all this is on the special edition dvd.
I don't get it... in the T2 making he's said that he always wanted to play terminator and nearly had to force Cameron that he got convinced that HE got the Villan part!
Arnie wanted the terminator to become a hero instead of a villain for T2, in Cameron's mind it couldn't work and the character couldn't be changed like that, but Arnie knows how to persuade people.
?? but the video says cameron made the proposition to arnie to play terminator and arnold had to made up his mind. Also Cameron said the he will the character as a hero not villan type ?!
yes, that was the first movie... cameron originally wanted arnie to play Reese and not the terminator, then changed idea but arnie was skeptical about playing a villain. I was talking about T2 where arnie was the one pushing cameron to re-write the character as a hero, in that occasion arnie had to persuade cameron. maybe he was talking about that but it wasn't very clear.
I remember another interview where Arnold said he was preparing for a fight with Cameron because he was going to demand to play the terminator lol. Something tells me that version in this video is the true story. Maybe Arnold ego has deflated a little bit as he has grown older.
Excellent interview. Loved hearing these detailed little stories about the terminator but the story about how he ended up playing the terminator doesn't add up because he's said in past interviews that he was the one who wanted to play the terminator and that it was his idea.
It was on the DVD Bonus Features. The story is different. Arnold said "if you want me in the movie, i want to play the Terminator Guy" Apparently Cameron couldn't afford lunch, so to get Arnie to pay, Cameron had to fold and give the role to Shwarzenegger instead of Hendricksen
Thanks to Jim, Glad Lance got the part as the android later. Though it would have been quite extraordinary watching terminator with him playing the machine & Arnie as Resse. Guess they would have finally settled to cast someone else all together instead of Arnie.
Terminator 2 is hands down one of if bot the best top action film of all time. The special effects, characters, story, set pieces. It just had it all, I can and do watch that movie to this day and still gives me goosebumps.
what arnold didn't tell you is that inbetween jim telling him he should play the terminator and arnold making the final decision, jim sent him full artwork with arnold as the terminator with his face half torn off - this swayed arnold's decision too
Arnie was actually technically right about the "I will be back" line, since robots or androids shouldn't be using contractions. Just listen to Data from Star Trek:TNG.
O.J. wanted more money, and they didn't want him slashing the budget.
Also he did a dress rehearsal and the gloves didn't fit.
Dude that whole thing was funny. Rehearsals and the glove didn't fit? Lol that was clever as fuck
he double slashed the budget like 50 times
ooooh man brutal
LOL...that whole statement was good. 👍👍
He would've been murder on the budget too if they hired. But I think he would have killed the role if he got it.
He made film history with his decision to play the Terminator. It's till one of the best movies of all time.
Kasimir B agreed
T2 was better
Kasimir B ...Seriously?...how old are you? 12?...
Terminator is a landmark film. Kasimir B is right.
the fact a film about a killer robot is one of the best films ever just says how great a writer/director cameron is, He also improved on the Alien Franchise with Aliens no mean feat.
Terminator and Terminator 2 are absolutely amazing.

Cameron - ‘Arnold, no one could understand the terminator more than you!
Arnold - ‘The Terminator should get drunk and stumble about!’
Cameron - ‘😑’
You have to understand someone who is a pro at one thing and trying to learn to be another. He wanted to participate in the creative process and that was his only way, copying from another story. That was not a characterization choice, that was a script choice. That's what he didn't understand. Actors don't choose to be drunk in a scene, the writer and director does.

And yes, Yul Brynner was terrifying as a robot in Westworld. Those eyes and that lifeless face made him perfect.
Yes, indeed.
i think he was thinking conan... you know big white mr universe had to go again big black man... which it true .. he is a mad man...

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can you picture the terminator with arnie as reese and oj as the machine? it would have never managed to become as iconic.
85cube I legit think it would be just like all the other action movies arnold has done,and we would think of it just as we think of commando
it would have been a paradox because arnie as the human would have been more machine than the actual machine
85cube I visualize it in my head and it just seems weird...
Arnie: COM VITH ME IF U VANY TO LEEV
That would be a cool “what if?” comic series.
It's funny that he thought it might be regressive for his career.
That role sling-shot him forward so much further than any other role he's played.
manictiger Arnold is an absolutely amazing guy- he has achieved virtually insurmountable achievements. Massive respect and kudos. My film hero
Thats life!
Might be cuz some of Arnold's fans were 2 young then, to watch R rated films..
It's perfectly reasonable for someone with a thick accent to think that more lines of dialog means progress, and fewer lines means regress.

In OJ did played the Terminator just imagine all the Meme and parody that could habe been born from this.
@Real World Warrior lowen oh fuck off with that shit, people like you are what's wrong with the world today! You just look for ways to be offended on other people's behalf, it's the reasons good comedians can't do shows anymore and we get this stupid woke comedy that's absolute rubbish
... ... .> ...X~X ... LMAO!
I love Arnold! A very genuine and down-to-earth man. Great interview! Thanks for setting this up and posting it for us!
Thinking about OJ Simpson as the Terminator is hilarious. Interestingly enough, OJ is a real-life Terminator.
real killer
A slasher
Multiple interviews he was really never considered for the part.
OJ was my favorite terminator he seemed so real

T2 was good, but T1 was a masterpiece.

OH god, if OJ was the terminator we would still be hearing terminator jokes about him to this day.
OJ was gonna be the Terminator. But the glove didn’t fit.
Awesome talking about 1984 Terminator
Yeah and he was nothing like machine in that one
Arnold is an absolutely amazing guy- he has achieved virtually insurmountable achievements. Massive respect and kudos. My film hero
Love the Terminator saw all the movies, thank God Arnold Schwarzenegger is the terminator.
I personally think Arnold Schwarzenegger is an unbelievable human being.
He would make an excellent Teacher for young kids.
Can you imagine having him as your Teacher at school, so positive so encouraging.
arnie teaching james cameron, damn arnie.
You expect me to believe that OJ Simpson could play a ruthless murderer?
OJ - "Give Me your Mothu Fucking Clothes Nigga!" - Yeah, he would have ruined it.
CV he never talked like that
Thank God Arnold Schwarzenegger was the terminator
Arnies is a really clever guy, he knew where was going with his career, and always made sure to network with the right people to deliver a high quality action film
I can't imagine anyone else playing as the terminator. Arnold Schwarzenegger legend
So thankful all of the stars and planets aligned for the movie. Great film, and Michael Biehn went on to play a fantastic Kyle Reese!
Michael Biehn's scrawny body fit the role of a post apocalyptic resistance fighter, a mountain of muscle like Arnie just would've looked the out of place.

@@CynicalOldDwarf And that was PRECISELY why people criticised Jai Courtney's appearance in Genysis. Well built with a nice haircut? Where the hell would he find a gym and a barber in post-apocalyptic LA? 🤣🤣 Biehn and Yelchin were the best
OJ’s star trajectory would’ve shot way upwards had he been the Terminator obviously. I honestly believe he could’ve pulled it off too all jokes aside.
Well the Movie would have been A Documentary about Nichole Brown
Dude, watching him talk about how this all started gives me goosebumps. This movie franchise has been a part of my whole life growing up and I can't wait to see T6 in 2 months! So excited that JC is back!
Michael Myers and The Terminator have the same thing in common: inspiration from Westworld's Yul Brynner.
Dan Warren and OJ took inspiration from Michale Myers and the Terminator. Crazy world we live in
@@samdiego1965 Westworld, yeah.
I just don't agree!. Terminator is a rip off of a 1967 film: Cyborg 2087
Watch the similarity when Yul Brenner is running and when Robert Patrick is running. You will not see either one breathe!!!!
@@painkillerjones6232 Yul Brenner never runs from an enemy - - and he never ran in Westworld either
Good one, Arnold knows something about acting even though some diehard movie viewers won't give him much credit as an actor. I think his acting critics need to learn to view his performances without preconceptions.
nemo227 He sometimes act dumb(stogie video), sometimes a very wise & intelligent man,so people get confused.
Who would have guessed that Arnold drew inspiration from Yul Brynner and E.T. for his role as the terminator?!?
Great interviewer. He allows Arnold to talk without interruption. Few interviewers seem capable of that one simple thing.
Arnold's the face of science fiction and fantasy films. Conan, Terminator, Predator, Last Action Hero, Running Man, Totall Recall, End of Days, The 6th Day, etc
Commando
True Lies
@@lukeschroter9389 Thats not science fiction or fantasy 😅
@@chonconnor6144 Thats not science fiction or fantasy 😅
@@TDKiller415 No you idiot Arnold is the face of Action!!!
O.J "Mark my words, Cameron, one day I will show you and the world that I was the real terminator"
As much as I love Arnold as the Terminator, my favorite Arnold, far above them all, is Total Recall, what a great script! So many memorable moments.
The only thing I learned from this interview with Mr. Universe himself... is that he still refers to getting fucked up as, "smashed". Absolute legend.
Had OJ got the part, he'd have put a big blemish on the iconic 80s movie. Thanks for being there Arnold
Graham Bensinger is a master interviewer. This man has perfected the art of listening. His questions are open-ended and brilliantly conceived. So thankful to see such an instructive video.
Arnold made the role more iconic and memorable with OJ it prolly wouldn’t have been as good
Redmist 2004 OJ has made billion dollar industries.
OJ as Terminator would have made it a black comedy
Frank Drebin: Is that you Nordberg!? What's with the gun Nordberg!??
James Cameron won't have allowed it
Perfect for the role of Macbeth...
he didn't steal it!...
he simply owned it!!
I want to see all the alternative cuts of 'I'll be back'
I will return momentarily...
OJ Simpson said "Ok, I'll show you who the real Terminator is......"
OJ probably never got over being terminated. Surprised he never projected that anger later in life.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: "As I was sitting there and having lunch, for some reason or the other I started talking more and more about the Terminator..."
Interviewer: *"Whut?"*
+1 for the Westworld mention, I always wondered if he'd seen that movie before Terminator. Yul Brynner was brilliant in that role.
Terminator without Arnie is like body without soul
Arnold's English has improved tremendously by leaps and bounds compare to what I had known of him years ago. He is more fluent today than he ever was.
what an intelligent man, and he looks brilliant, for his age. glad he went back, to making movies again
"and he looks brilliant, for his age." LOL
Arnold as The Terminator is the action movie equivalent of a classically trained thespian’s Oscar winning performance of King Lear or some shit. That’s how perfect he was for the role.
Great interviews man!
and in T2, Robert Patrick unloaded a handgun clip, and reloaded and unloaded again without looking.
the Austrian death machine
Terminator 2 is a classic, it’s what made Arnold as an actor, that character was absolutely made for him, I cannot imagine anyone else in that role!
OJ as the terminator, sounds like a pretty terrible choice, would have been a huge failure
He told the "I'll be back" story differently in his book. He said that he was having trouble saying "I'll" which is why he wanted to say "I will".
If OJ would have played the terminator there wouldn’t have been a sequel.
Those who say Arnie can't act clearly haven't seen all his roles. When he plays a role ideal for him, he not only owns it, he defines it.
I think nobody says that 😂
Everything Arnold is talking about is right. Everything I remember about his T1/2 is subtle movements from the terminator. Like the sudden jerk of his face the way he walks completely straight or the long distance scanning stare he does. Just the expressionless face he makes when he's gunning down 30 police officers is chilling.
Arnold was born to play the terminator.
Maybe the terminator was made so Arnold could play it.
Man, could you imagine OJ as the terminator! It would have been ridiculous
Oj simpson : ILL BE BLACK
Not 100% sure but out of Memory:
Jim had Lance Henriksen in mind writing the script but the studio suggested O.J.
O.J was the terminator and Nicole Simpson played the part of Linda Hamilton.
I think "I will be back." would have been a better line, but it still worked out pretty well.
If OJ had done it (no pun intended)
The movie would have flopped & would be forgotten as a crap B movie. Arnie sold terminator
And you, being a world famous movie producer, would know this because why?
The terminator was the most iconic movie ever. Arnold wasn't only larger then life but, the best character portrayed ever. The cast is epic... Arnold was epic... the fuckin flick was LEGENDARY.
Arnie may have took the role from OJ but the original Term' script had the Terminator as an 'every man' type character & it was Lance Henrikson that was lined up for the role. Jim Cameron even had pictures done & had Lance in for costuming, but they went with the 'walking tank' type Terminator. all this is on the special edition dvd.
Great interview, love it when the interviewer just asks the right questions and leaves the rest to the star.
I don't get it... in the T2 making he's said that he always wanted to play terminator and nearly had to force Cameron that he got convinced that HE got the Villan part!
Arnie wanted the terminator to become a hero instead of a villain for T2, in Cameron's mind it couldn't work and the character couldn't be changed like that, but Arnie knows how to persuade people.
?? but the video says cameron made the proposition to arnie to play terminator and arnold had to made up his mind. Also Cameron said the he will the character as a hero not villan type ?!
yes, that was the first movie... cameron originally wanted arnie to play Reese and not the terminator, then changed idea but arnie was skeptical about playing a villain. I was talking about T2 where arnie was the one pushing cameron to re-write the character as a hero, in that occasion arnie had to persuade cameron.
maybe he was talking about that but it wasn't very clear.
+85cube Arnold didn't want to be in T2 because he thought the terminator being a hero wouldn't work, Cameron had to convince Arnold to be in T2
I remember another interview where Arnold said he was preparing for a fight with Cameron because he was going to demand to play the terminator lol. Something tells me that version in this video is the true story. Maybe Arnold ego has deflated a little bit as he has grown older.
Excellent interview.
Loved hearing these detailed little stories about the terminator but the story about how he ended up playing the terminator doesn't add up because he's said in past interviews that he was the one who wanted to play the terminator and that it was his idea.
When OJ found out he lost his role for Terminator
OJ: Hey, you can't do that
Arnie: WRONG.
Wow. I had seen both Terminator movies so many times but never heard about that. Thank God that Arnie play who he did play and not other way around.
Years later OJ Simpson won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor as Nordberg In Naked Gun. Ha
What’s odd is Graham’s channel is all about him, with his face plastered over everything, but he’s the most passive interviewer in the industry
"I will be back!"
Clearly, it's Arnold's favorite role. I don't remember him expressing so much enthusiasm about his other films as about T1 and T2 :)
I heard it was Lance Henriksen who was almost signed up to play the Terminator first
Yes in the final stages of casting he was selected to be the terminator until Arnold changed his mind, I think the OJ casting was a rumor Arnold heard
It was on the DVD Bonus Features. The story is different. Arnold said "if you want me in the movie, i want to play the Terminator Guy" Apparently Cameron couldn't afford lunch, so to get Arnie to pay, Cameron had to fold and give the role to Shwarzenegger instead of Hendricksen
Thanks to Jim, Glad Lance got the part as the android later. Though it would have been quite extraordinary watching terminator with him playing the machine & Arnie as Resse. Guess they would have finally settled to cast someone else all together
instead of Arnie.
No way, he is too frail
Terminator 2 is hands down one of if bot the best top action film of all time. The special effects, characters, story, set pieces. It just had it all, I can and do watch that movie to this day and still gives me goosebumps.
And.... the rest is history
Pharaoh C 😁😁his favorite catchphrase.
I'm glad at the end he said in The Terminator "I'll Be Back" that's epic...
just love the man grew up watching him kick ass!!! long live Arnold schwarzenegger 💪🇨🇮
what arnold didn't tell you is that inbetween jim telling him he should play the terminator and arnold making the final decision, jim sent him full artwork with arnold as the terminator with his face half torn off - this swayed arnold's decision too
I heard lance henriksen was the original terminator
I heard that Brian Thompson was gonna play the Terminator.
true, it says it in my Terminator VHS collection book
He was too frail
Arnie was actually technically right about the "I will be back" line, since robots or androids shouldn't be using contractions. Just listen to Data from Star Trek:TNG.
Simpson as the terminator? Can't picture it
Much more realistic, LoL
Well duh
OJ is a terrible actor. Good thing Ahnold got the part instead.
Just picture him holding a huge knife...
Fun fact: Lance Hendrickson was originally going to play the Terminator before OJ, or Arnold.
If OJ had the role, Nicole would be alive.
If OJ would have been the terminator, imagine the amount of memes we would get from his police car chase and T1000 clinging on his car...
