Favorite Arnold Schwarzenneger character
I picked 10 out of some 20 of his which i thought were his best characters, featuring some of the greatest kill-quips ever.
My top three:
1.Major Alan 'Dutch' Schaeffer. A modern day Beowulf. Stick around!
Iconic Moment: Covering himself in mud and preparing for a rematch with the Predator.
2.Conan. The noble savage. To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
Iconic Moment: When Conan finds the Atlantean sword in the cave and the skeleton crumbles when he takes it.
3.John 'just bodies' Matrix. Don't disturb my friend, he's dead tired.
Iconic Moment: Slaughtering an entire compound full of armed guards like some stripey-faced death god.

I voted Terminator but I'm one of the few who liked him as Mr. Freeze so that's my second choice.

Harry Tasker. Man, that was a freaking great movie. I wish Cameron would do that sequel that they've been talking about for 11 years.

I picked "Tuh-muh-nay-tor", but how can you pick just one?
Choice scene from "Commando".
Cindy: What happened to Sully?
Matrix: I let him go.
"Don't disturb my friend, he's dead tired."
Commando = comedy gold.

Whoever came up with those crank calls is a genius.I'll go with the T-800 in the first and second Terminator flicks. Iconic character and a pretty cool arc by having the ultimate bad guy "redeem" himself in the sequel.
