His version of I am legend sounded epic there's concept art online somewhere.

That "The Berserker" script sounded really fun for the time. Too bad it came about in 1985/86 when Arnold had some clout under his belt. A few years earlier, and they'd have probably gotten it done.

" 1985’s gory-funny Re-Animator was an instant cult hit. In it, Peter Kent, Arnold’s stunt double in 1984’s The Terminator, played a reanimated corpse. And that’s why Arnold saw an advance screening of Re-Animator. He loved it and wanted to work with its director, Stuart Gordon. So, in 1985, Gordon and Dennis Paoli wrote a treatment for another outrageous horror movie called Berserker. It focuses on The Berserker, a pro wrestler heel. Seeing that the wrestler Black Mamba has grown huge fast, The Berserker takes the same drug. Black Mamba kills a wrester in the ring and is turning into a reptilian monster-man. But when he stops taking the drug he dies, “his body crumbling like an empty bag.” The Berserker finds the scientist behind the drug (which, among other things, can heal mortal wounds), and is faced with a quandary: Stop taking the drug and die like Black Mamba or keep taking it and become a murderous monster. Thankfully, he chooses the latter.
This pro wrestling horror flick, with excellent, gory effects and an assortment of bizarre wrestling characters, would’ve landed at the ’80s WWE peak with Arnold still in his 30s and able to get more jacked than Hulk Hogan. The concept art seen below is from when The Berserker tears the arm off a wrestler. The Berserker even has a wrestler girlfriend, who is just a regular steroid user (she shaves her face in a funny bit). Near the end, the rampaging, Hulk-like Berserker attacks and defeats a raging semitruck and its inhabitants. When he can’t get the last vial of the drug from his girlfriend, The Berserker’s death mirrors Black Mamba’s: “The magnificent muscles shrink, seeming to deflate.…He falls to the floor, a limp sack of powdery flesh.” "

I actually thought there was a beserker film.
This sounds like wild crazy stuff typical 80's.
It didn't need to be that outrageous, could have been the same with arnold taking a drug that gives crazy roid rage and going on the rampage.
