OJ Simpson wasn't chosen as the terminator because he was "too nice to play a cold hearted killer". I wish you would've brought that up in the video.

Poured acid on his back?! "My eyes, ze goggles do nozing!!"

Hey, even if Arnold didn't need the cards, reading the lines would help give the robotic delivery.

[BlackMax]

It's good to see that many movie viewers know that Arnolds stunt-double Peter Kent made the truck stunt. Until the 3D-Re-Release you could see him on the first truck chase where he jumps from the street, also where he saved John and they drived away from the explosion

2:18 Arnie becomes even MORE of a badass than I already thought he was.

[Thunderbolt__Siren]

That Helicopter flying under the overpass in the Helicopter chase scene in T2 was a legit chopper too. Incredible

[spaghetti]

Are you sure for the last one that wasn't the back of John Connors head? I mean he was in the back

[jevachimillian]

"Real acid? Oh-oh....my eyes! Teh goggles do nothing!"

[adriancrow]

what the hell guys?!! the truck scene was a stunt double not arnold. Don't take away the credit from who really deserves it.

[Nickshark]

It was Peter Kent doing that truck stunt. Boom you wrong!!!

[anotherwolff]

4:10 this is John Connor sitting on the backseat of the car.

[andjmarko]

The truck scene was a stunt double, not Arnold.

[rdiego]

2:20 no wonder why this scene look so good ! It was always one of my favorites

[ToTeMVG]

i am loving your didn't know things because they are actually things i didnt know unlike most didnt know things, also i would love a part three of this

[NitroNEXT]

Surprised he didn't mention the actor who played John Connor in the future flashbacks.

[PANZERFAUST]

I liked when Arnold was campaigning in 2003 he said "I'll be back" on live television as he was ending his speech 😎

[NGA]

that was peter kent not arnold jumping onto the hood of that big rig

[tricycloplox]

On the oj Simpson part he was declined for the role as terminator because the director said he didn't fit the role as a robot killing machine. Wow

[AngelRamirez-cbef]

You need to make a lot more about these! MORE!

Fun Fact: Arnold thought that instead of saying “I’ll be back” he should just walk off or say “I WILL be back” because he was a machine and he thought he kinda sounded weird saying it. But James told him to just say it and that led to one of the greatest one liners in Arnold’s acting career.
