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.

Me too. After his failed proposition election, he's just gone way too far overboard catering to the wackos.

And now he wants to give ILLEGAL immigrants free health insurance!

Favorite character: da Terminator

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

Fetzore 03-01-07 07:51 PM

Hell no, Major Dutch in the Predator. Taking on that big sonofabitch at the end all alone and kickin ass! Hell yeah! haha

That's the qoute you pick from Commando? Wrong, wrong, wrong.

It's "You're a funny man, Sully, I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last. "

Puh-leeze. :rolleyes:

:D

Mr. Cinema 03-01-07 08:31 PM

The T-1000 from the first Terminator.

No love for Turbo Man? By far my favorite.

Uhh..no. "Let off some steam, Bennett" is #1.

fumanstan 03-01-07 08:50 PM

I picked Douglas Quaid but I realized I should have picked John Kimble.

Nope. Consider this a DUH-VORCE is much better than that one.

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.

UAIOE 03-01-07 10:45 PM

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. :lol:

bhk 03-01-07 11:21 PM

Dutch from Predator.

nateman 03-01-07 11:26 PM

I picked John, i really loved Eraser for some reason.

Dutch from Predator would be my second choice, the terminator would be third.

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.

"If it bleeds, we can kill it." :up:

I win:

"Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen! Ha ha! I'm having a good time! Bye! Ha ha!"

The Terminator. "Fuck you, asshole" - doesn't get more succinct than that :D
