"My accent was very bad, and my accent was also very strong, which was an obstacle as I began pursuing acting..."
(Hey Arnold! Not you!!!)
He served one year service time in the army in 1965, as was the requirement of all 18 year old Austrian males, winning Junior Mr. Europe the very same year, before going AWOL during basic training to take part in the competition. He spent a week in the slammer for insubordination, crowned as a king, and still to be considered one of the most famous immigrant's to ever land in this country. E-merry-ca...vut a country! Mix a marriage...marry a Kennedy.
The 38th governor of Cali-forn-nia became a self-made man from less than ashes, and began weight training at the age of 15 to win Mr. U @ 22! He also went on to win Mr. Olympia 7X's and was referred to as "THE AUSTRIAN OAK" by none other than the Incredible Hulk. Can you imagine the dynamics? Refer to Pumping Iron.
Now, to determine what could be more irregular...mentally thumb wrestle the country's appetite for action in the 80's with Tom Brokaw at a tennis tournament.
I'm in show business.....why would I test myself under torture in the greatest country in the verld? Typical liberal giveaway speaking in bad puns...handed down as ancient dialect...we hope to bestow nothing but good fortune knowing we've seen our last action hero for the time being...though, we do hope you enjoy the show.
Judgment Day. Arnold said he began the pursuit of weight training to learn more about the power of the mind over the body. (Cleansing breath...aaaand...release!) You are a placid sea turtle in a land of make believe. Steer clear. Have no fear. Sylvester Stallone will play you in the movie. Unannounced to the Film Edition, "R-nuld" was voted best built man of Europe, the category somehow escaping, despite which lent fame instantaneously and offered the illustrious passport to America-the land of opportunity, where Arnold would have the hunger to be more than just a contender...he was a star and about to get rich.
This is a success story of a character who happens to be exuberant.
If technological issues weren't so rampart I would spew more about a businessman, politician, & the original Conan now called the governator, but the computer needs cleaning, so I bid farewell....
Thanks to Blood for an outstanding intro to this week's edition, as always. Yes, this week is all about the Governator! All of the following quotes are taken out of the mouth of Arnold, directly from one of his movies. Your job, if you choose to accept, is to read the quotes (in your best Arnold accent) and try to name the movie it came from. Simple as always! Remember, this isn't brain surgery!
1. "I once showed them, in the Olympics in Greece, how to do it."
2. "I work alone. If anyone comes to you and claims that I sent them.....use this."
3. "Nice day for a walk."
4. "Well then, get in a start paddling!"
5. "Hello Cutie Pie. One of us is in deep trouble."
6. "I did nothing. The pavement was his enemy."
7. "Bring the toy back to the carpet."
8. "How exactly are you going to snap your fingers, after I rip off both of your thumbs?"
9. "You know what you guys are? Nothing but a bunch of sleazy con men, in red suits!"
10. "At 30,000 feet, your heart will freeze and beat no more."
Let's see those answers! Check back throughout the next couple of days to find out where all 10 quotes came from. It's easy to remember, just before you leave our site, just look at the monitor and say, "I'll be back." Okay, that was a bit corny.
See you next week and thanks for playing Name that Film!!!

Hey guys, how ya doin'?
I'm gonna guess #2 is from Total Recall, by the way I remember seeing Hercules in New York. Possibly the worst movie ever made. I don't think they even used Arnold's voice in that one.
Nice job guys, take care.
Hmmm, so we need #3 and #8 yet? I'll have to ask Hubby...
Good one guys!
HI aero! Doing well in Boltville! How about you?
Sorry, but number 2 is not Total Recall. Aparently, you didn't totally recall that quote. lol
I'll start with the clues tonight, or tomorrow after work. We have some work to do.
Thanks for playing!!!
Not so fast klvalus! We still need 2, 3, and 8. You must have thought that aero erased number 2.
Keep on trying! Clues to come!
Thanks Kristen!
Is #3 Terminator?
So #2 is The Eraser?
Yes! Kristen nails number 3!
Great job!

Yes aero! Number 2 is indeed Eraser!
Thanks for hanging in there! Looks like we are down to the last quote.....number 8!
2. Eraser: "I work alone. If anyone comes to you and claims that I sent them.....use this."

Hint for number 8: Number 8 was a movies movie.
Number 8 was a movies movie.
That hint makes me think #8 is Pumping Iron.
Bolt......Blood's link is messed up!
Copy and paste this link and you can get to the right blog, it has a blue background. The regular link gives you the white background. Go figure. http://lugnutsandfanaddicts.blogspot.com/2009/08/fenway-love-by-time-i-get-to-arizona.html
Hi Bev, I just clicked on his link on the side of my blog and it worked fine.
By the way, number 8 was "The Last Action Hero"
