The Austrian Oak revealed how it needed to be mechanical. “James Cameron cut this scene out and the other one where we took out the brain from the Terminator Norris because I kept complaining to him that the movie was too long,” mentioned Arnold, about the events that followed.
Soon after, Arnold told how Cameron ruled with an iron fist by aiming to take his scenes out. “So in order to punish me, he took out the two scenes that were my scene that each of them was like two and a half to three minutes long. So he said, ‘if you take those two scenes out, then we can save and cut the movie down by six minutes. How about that Arnold?'”, mentioned Arnold.
Arnold said “Thank You” and moved forward.
Cameron revealed another incident
