Terminate! Terminate!

Arnold Schwarzenegger flew in to Iraq on a morale-boosting visit for US troops on Monday, drawing cheers from servicemen and women, some of whom were lucky enough to be gifted a cigar.

“I was here in 2003 and before I left I said ‘I’ll be back’,” the Hollywood actor turned politician told almost 400 soldiers, mimicking his most famous line from the “Terminator” movies that made him a global star. [...]

“The Terminator always keeps his promise,” said the 62-year-old Republican governor of California, who was looking lean and tanned ahead of his return to the big screen next year. [...]

“Remember you’ve got to pump up those muscles,” he said, before concluding his speech with another famous line from “Terminator 2: Judgment Day.”

“Hasta la vista (see you later).”

Detective John Kimble, take it away:

Frankly, the only honest exit line he could have delivered is “Come with me if you want to live.”

Isn’t he needed in California to do Governor business?

Anyways he’s just probably preparing himself for his future movie rules he’ll do. In all his movies use the same one liners.

Whenever Herr Gropenfuhrer’s name is mentioned,I think of this review of his performance ‘Batman & Robin’,written by Daniel Neman(from my hometown paper):
“At the movie’s worst, Schwarzenegger says such things as ‘‘Stay cool, Bird Boy’’ and ‘‘Everybody chill.’’ His trademark may be one-liners, but these are one-liners only in the sense that they consist of one line.”
