Arnold in Terminator and Expendables


The Arnold lovers over at TheArnoldFans were in Columbus, Ohio this weekend for The Arnold Classic and two of them were lucky enough to be chosen by Arnold Schwarzenegger to ask questions.

They must have been movie lovers also because they asked about his cameos in "Terminator Salvation" and the new upcoming Stallone film "The Expendables."

He starts off talking mostly about politics and California, but here is the jist of what he said about the movies.

"I have seen the movie, but I have not seen it as a finished product yet. I have not seen it yet with the Terminator special effects and some of the sound and the music is not in there yet and so on. So I really cannot comment on it, what the movie will be like as a finished product. There’s a rule that you never talk about a movie unless you have seen the finished product. But you know as I said to the director when they began that I wish them the best of luck, that I’m happy that they move forward with the franchise, I am very happy with where I am with my profession as the governor and they should try to find a way of doing a story that does not include me at all, not even one single shot in it. I don’t believe in that. To kind of have them go out and promote the movie and say you know Arnold is in the movie and everyone thinks that I’m the Terminator and in fact you only see one second of me in there and so I don’t think that's the right thing to do. And you know that’s the danger of that, and that’s why I feel reluctant to be part of the movie in the first place. So it doesn’t get promoted that way."

"So I… naturally when he asked me if I would do a cameo, which will just be something quick, like I walk out of a hotel or out of a office building and he will walk up and we will bump into each other and there will be some mumbling and then we will walk off (crowd laughs). So it will be something very simple, that will be again, just a cameo, so that’s what we’re going to do. I promised him I’d do that and I’m looking forward to that. OK? Good."

Arnold seems to be feeling hesitation about his cameo in "Terminator," but if he is willing to make a cameo in "The Expendables," why not in a franchise he is famous for?
