“I Don’t Kill Anybody and I’m the Terminator”: Arnold Schwarzenegger Saw a Big Loophole in Terminator 2’s Script Despite James Cameron’s Assurance

The practice of script analysis involves actors questioning a script to determine its intended meaning. In addition, finding out what a writer is attempting to convey requires equal parts research, attentive reading of the text, and guesswork. Similarly, when researching the script, Arnold Schwarzenegger never sits behind.

The script was of Terminator 2, which turned out to be one of the enormous successes of Arnie. The movie later turned out to be one of the best sequels ever created. In addition, the whole series of Terminator showcases Schwarzenegger’s most recognizable acting performances. However, the bodybuilder’s eyes captured a big loophole in the script, which even the director James Cameron couldn’t.

Arnold Schwarzenegger found a loophole in Terminator

The sequel Terminator 2, became one of the biggest hits of Arnie’s life and made his name more famous. However, from time to time, Cameron discussed some concerns that Schwarzenegger had while he went through the script of Terminator.

Cameron once addressed the exact problem which bugged the Austrian Oak. He stated, “I could tell there was something bugging him, right? We were pals at this point. Post-Terminator, we rode motorcycles together. And he said, ‘Jim, I have a big problem with the script.’ I said, ‘Well, what is it?’ And he said, ‘I don’t kill anybody.’ I said, ‘I know, right? They’ll never see that coming. Nobody will guess it.’ He said, ‘I know, but one thing is surprise. Another thing is I don’t kill anybody, and I’m the Terminator.’”

James also mentioned how Arnold appeared to be very perplexed by the notion, as he revealed in the main scenes of the movie. Yet, despite Cameron’s efforts to make Arnie sure about this role, he made lots of effort. In the whole installments of Terminator movies, James has done some incredible work beyond a director’s work.

How Cameron’s hard work turned out well

Schwarzenegger portrayed the notorious killer who would enter a room and wreak havoc in the movie Terminator. Naturally, fans and actors thought that would happen, but director Cameron wanted to play with that notion. As a result, Terminator 2 became one of the most influential films of all time. Years after, as one installment of the movie was added to the list, Arnie revealed a funny fact.

He revealed how his elder daughter Katherine Schwarzenegger used to cry seeing his action scenes. On the other hand, Cameron, known as one of the finest directors in Hollywood, did the same thing with his movie Avatar 2.
