What hasn’t Arnold Schwarzenegger done in his lifetime? His movies range from action to comedy to spy thrillers and more. And this is on top of his achievements in bodybuilding, where he won 7 Mr. Olympia titles before entering Hollywood. With lines such as ‘I’ll be back’, ‘Stick around’, ‘Hasta la Vista baby’ etc, he has entertained and enthralled fans over the years. His iconic charisma and on-screen personality led to his steadfast meteoric rise, so much so, that a separate payment system was devised for him during ‘The Terminator’. So, with such a vast filmography, of which several are mega hits, fans are bound to have their own favorites.

In a recent Tweet by Sophia Nyx, a singer-songwriter from Mckinleyville, California, she initiated a discussion thread among Twitter users by each naming their favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. While some of the usual suspects do pop up from time to time, the tweets have a wide change of picks.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s meteoric rise in Hollywood

Arnold Schwarzenegger was once paid more than $20,000 per word in Terminator. His line ‘I’ll be back’ would’ve therefore amounted to $60,000. But it’s all worth it if one were to look at the impact he and his lines made on the fans. The Eraser star, who netted up to $20 million per film during his peak, set the standard for action movies and action heroes in years to follow.

From $2 million for ‘Commando’ to $3.5 million for ‘Predator’ to a big jump of $11 million for ‘Total Recall’ to $12 million for ‘Kindergarten Cop’ and ‘Terminator 2’, Schwarzenegger gave a new meaning to the phrase, ‘grew in leaps and bounds’. Schwarzenegger, who initially believed his accent might be a deterrent to his access in Hollywood, soon became one of the biggest stars in the world. He eventually earned $20 million for ‘Eraser’ in 1996.
