"Ok What lance did really happened but if u say they were ridiculous enough to "seriously" offer O.J. the role but I have'nt ever heard that anywhere and neither has anyone I know than I beleive u. "Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small and unremarkable man (later using this visions for the T-1000 in T2), giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen (an unknown at the time). O.J. Simpson was on the shortlist, but Cameron did not think that "such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer". Michael Biehn was also on the shortlist for the Terminator, and not the hero Kyle Reese. Regarding Henriksen, Cameron went so far as to paint a picture of the Terminator using Henriksen's face, and he had the actor dress-up as the character and attend an Orion Pictures production meeting in character. According to him and co-writer William Wisher, Schwarzenegger was offered the role of the human soldier Reese. However, Cameron and Wisher realized that Arnold would make the perfect Terminator, thus transitioning the Terminator from a small and unremarkable "man" to a large and muscular "man". 7 out of 8 found this valuable.

Sorry for the double post but I forgot to add who I thought would be a good Terminator.I belive that eiter Jean-Claude Van Damme, Sylvester Stallone, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Tyler Mane or Vin Diesel would all be great choices! In last action hero the film Sylvester Stallone looks good as the terminator in the video stores carboard cutout. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

"I cannot remember his real life name but the tall dude with dred locks and goatee out of Stargate Atlantis, he is the only surviving person from his planet."You mean Jason Momoa right the guy that plays Ronon Dex (btw he tried out for Sabertooth in X-men the film but was turned down). 0 out of 2 found this valuable.

Matt Damon, Keana Reeves, Hugo Weaving, Jet Li, Alan Tudyk, Kiefer Sutherland, Jim Caviezel and Kevin Costner could all be terminators.

The OJ idea is mentioned in the booklet for 2003 Special Edition DVD of the first film. Cameron mentioned it in a quote or interview for Esquire magazine in March 1995.

"I've never heard that but what i did hear is that van damme was supposed to play the predator movie of same name alongside arnie"Not quite true he tried out for the lead but lost out to Arnold becuase he was considered to be a bigger threat to the Predator. 2 out of 2 found this valuable.

"Not quite true he tried out for the lead but lost out to Arnold becuase he was considered to be a bigger threat to the Predator."According to an interview with director John McTiernan, the hole in the jungle appearance of the Predator in PREDATOR (1987) was played by Van Damme in a blue screen (actually red) suit. Van Damme quit after two days, unhappy with being cast as an uncredited special effect. The alien was scrapped, redesigned, and was eventually played by 7'2 Kevin Peter Hall (deceased).

At least Stallone got mentioned once here...but remember this is early 80's, a lot of the people picked others that would have been 10-20 years old (although a juvinile terminator would still have the ability to smash people's skulls). How about Gene Simmons? There's a guy that just looks evil without saying a word.

NO ONE!!!! Only Arnie could be the Terminator...I don't think it would have went anywhere with the three listed in the quiz (although I do like Val Kilmer, not in this role) it HAD to be Arnie....he's HUGE and he gets that great non-emotional face and I think the accent is perfect! I can say, I am excited to see T4 with Christian Bale as John Conner...I think that is a good fit.

Dolph Lundgren, Drago from Rocky IV, comes to mind. But really, only Arnold could play that part. Who else could convey so much personality while showing no emotion?

Remember the huge guy with the war hammer in Conan? Thorgrim -- played by Sven-Ole Thorsen one of the scariest dudes ever. He could play a terminator for sure. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y201/Osterberg/conan/backup.jpg Do you find this valuable? |
