True! Filming this movie was the first time Arnold had traveled to New York, so his reactions were not entirely faked (source: Arnold Schwarzenegger's novel, Total Recall).
lmao why did you say that???? I'll never see this video as before never!! And now that I'm watching it again this really look like those hippie porn movies
This mans acting is SO ROBOTIC that when someone decided to cast him as an actual machine he was so convincing that it made said film one of the most sucessful film franchices in cinema history.
Its just so motivating to see someone like Arnold not giving a single frick about potentially being mocked or laughed at for his accent and acting. He just gives it his best try and doesn't waste any time with self doubt. True legend
Arnold was applying a mindset that a lot of great actors, bands, and other performers adhere to. If you do something like you mean it, totally unafraid of being mocked, the people will catch on, respect you and applaud you.
Fun Fact: Arnold's agent said, that Arnold had YEARS of STAGE experience for his audition. Implying it was THEATRE experience. Unbeknownst to the people watching the audition, it was actually POSING on STAGE for BODYBUILDING.
I’ve heard that he actually learned to speak perfect fluent English, but since Arnold’s accent is a big part of his whole persona he actually had to take voice coaching to keep his accent. I bet at home he speaks perfectly normal but in public he’s still got that thick Austrian accent
The original audio version of this film is actually impressive when you realize Arnold spoke virtually no English at the time and learned his lines phonetically. You can see the effort in his performance from a guy put into an acting position he was not ready for.
If that doesn't prove that politics is a theater then I don't know what will... I mean, it's a joke and the joke is on us, regular people, also know as slaves.
I think the only person who knew Arnie would become a top paid actor was Arnie. This is why you need to believe in yourself because anything is possible.
5:11 Okay, so.. even without knowing that this random guy is actually Hercules, who in the world would consider throwing a punch at somebody looking like this? My suspension of disbelief does not stretch anywhere near that thin lol
first off its a movie made in 1969 and second i dont think you have ever visited newyork. before or even did research there is a lot of wildlife in NYC and Upstate newyork there has been multiple bear spotting's in NYC over the years that wondered from upstate into the city.. third. this movie is probably older than you. and you have no idea how hard it was to actually make a decent film. in that area you have. all the fancy stuff. fourth. this movie is about fiction anyways. so your point is?? thats right you guess it in valid.
Honestly guys, Arnold was robbed from the Oscar that year. I mean the way he catches every emotion, every moment is unparallel to anything I've ever witnessed in any movie. Made me tear up a bit
This Arnold is genuinely and hilariously epic epic! It is a bliss they capture this gold version of him cause not even himself could replicate this ever after.
watching this and then his later movies says alot about Arnold:, coming to America and not knowing alot of English to learning this language and becoming one of the most famous actors of all time.
The dubbed version is even funnier. Usually when they dub over an actor because of their voice they use someone who sounds less ridiculous, but not the director of Hercules in New York
I ordered this movie on VHS back in the day, and after watching it, I was so disappointed that I returned it and exchanged it for "Enter the Dragon," which did not disappoint.
Trivia: - 1:55 when arnold is angry, he speaking german. Also, when he say 'no', its actually 'yes' - 6:46 arnold acting is so great, he is making ppl around him look bad.
Yet a lot of people see immigrants as a threat when in fact immigrants statistically are more hardworking in general. We're citizens of the world, countries, flags and languages are artificial barriers. WE'RE HUMAN
@Elron I totally agree with that, but still, even immigrants who want to assimilate are not given any chance either. I come from that position and in order for me to immigrate i made many many sacrifices and it was way too difficult the whole visa system. In my case i don't love my birth country at all and will not ever return even on vacations and i also didn't immigrate for welfare systems, i just needed opportunities where i can work 10x harder than others and help the economy along with myself, but it is way too difficult the whole immigration laws in most of wester europe and especially the US.
One of those classic films that are so bad that they are actually entertaining. I recall seeing this on TV sometime around 1980 (I was 15) a few years before Conan which many argue, would be the film that would propel him to the status that he achieved.
You have strucked Hercules.
mission accomplished LOL

Isn't it right

Gotta respect other actors for keeping a straight face during Arnold's lines.
I don't think Arnold even knew what his lines meant. He learned them phonetically. Not the first time an actor had to do this!
I don't think he KNEW how to make any other face :P
This is the most weriedest and longest porn introduction, i've ever seen.

lmao that is indeed a fun fact
If it's true, it's a fun fact. If not, it's a fun story. Regardless, it's fun.
the question was does he has experience on stage? they didnt ask which stage
For once a post starting with fun fact isn't stupid

Somebody ought to make a movie of that.
Yeah, a really cool idea. I'm sure it'd be pretty successful.
Maybe the film makers should call him the terrornator or another t-nator word
And maybe the director could make a sequel that will be far superior than following sequels
Sounds like macho version of Steven Hawkins

The absolute awkwardness of Arnold's acting makes this somehow feel really authentic
I'm feelin the pain of the real actors in this movie.
Then coming to the realisation over the following years that he was becoming possibly the most famous actor in the world, haha.
There are no real actors in thks movie hahahahah
The captain has been in movies like A Streetcar Named Desire, On the Waterfront, 12 Angry Men, and The Godfather.
Then years later arnold becomes more famous than them with a bigger salary
This comment is gold :-D

Yes. But also remember to put the work in. In fact forget about belief. No pain no gain.
