Ironically, Bennett did always remind me of Freddy Mercury, but somehow gayer.

I thought they could have picked a better and more sinister looking bad guy. Bennett was so gay he made Richard Simmons look like the punisher.

I always wondered why they didn't instead go with classic 80's bad guy actor Brian Thompson.

I think that Arnold was insecure and he didn’t want any tough looking guy to be his advisory.

Arnold wanted no competition from any other alpha-male types.


Look at Terminator 2. One of the most massive sequels in movie history. And Arnold wanted a relatively unknown actor to play the T-1000 role. WTF.


Imagine if Val Kilmer or Jean Claude Vandamme played the T-1000. Or even Mr T or Brian Bosworth.


Terminator 2 would have been even better than it was! Robert Patrick did a great job, but he was an odd choice to play the new and improved Terminator role.

i never heard anything about arnold choosing who played the T1000, james cameron said he liked robert patrick because he looked like a cat and the T1000 is very quick and agile like a cat

I heard on a podcast reviewing the movie Corba that Thompson drove Stallone nuts trying to get his character's backstory and Stallones response was along the lines of, "Listen hes a lunatic, that's all you need to know."

I find it odd that in 1984, Cameron chose a 230-240LB Terminator. Then in 1991 he wanted a 160-170LB Terminator.

I think you hit it on the head. A prime Dolph Lundgren, the way he looked in Rocky 4, all stoic and as if made out of steel, would have been ideal. Because frankly, having Arnold share the screen with "Bennett" was more of a flick depicting a guy beating the shit out of a homo for shits and giggles.

Bennett, in real life, is probably MUCH more down to earth than Schwarzenegger and Milano.

As a matter of fact, these days, I would rather meet Bennett over Schwarzenegger. I don’t know when exactly Arnold became a puppet for the Deep State, but he and Tom Hanks, Robert DeNiro and Johnny Deep really took a wrong turn somewhere in the past 10-20 years.

You got the wrong guy, sly is the insecure action man, lifts in his shoes, used to pick cast shorter than him.
Arnold hand picked big tall men in conan for example so the enemy didnt look easy.

because the T1000 is a completely different model terminator, makes sense that they would look different

the terminator originally was supposed to blend into normal society, as if it could look like an old woman to surprise it's target, which is why his first choice was originally lance henriksen to be the terminator

cameron talked about all of this in the dvd commentary, it wasn't until he saw arnold in person that he thought his build was the perfect look

robert did an excellent job, dolph would just be a generic arnold knock off

You're judging the story from a bodybuilding fan perspective ....

The new terminator  was more advanced ,supposed to be an updated MODEL ...

being heavier is a direct sign of being obsolete  in any machinery technology .

Bringing an android assassin totally different from the previous movie  was the turning point and the success of the franchise ,

First off, it has nothing to do with height.

If we are assuming that they are both using....They both looked great for the movie scenes. Dolph was  much taller, but that doesn't mean he had to take more to get more. Hell, I'd argue that both were around the same body fat, and were just as muscular.

Dolph was just taller.

Vernon Wells wasn't the original actor cast to play Bennett. He did audition for the role and lost to Wings Hauser. On the first day of filming, however, director Mark L. Lester fired Hauser and hired Wells. This is the reason that Bennett's clothes seem so tight, because Wells was bigger than Hauser, and the production didn't have time to make a new costume.
