Action Movie For The Day - TRUE LIES (1994)

After the dismal action film Last Action Hero the year before, Arnie decided to re-team with James Cameron for the wildly exciting flick True Lies. And all is forgiven as True Lies is awesome. He plays secret agent Harry Tasker who battles terrorists all over the world with his sidekick Tom Arnold. But its a secret life as his wife thinks he's a computer salesman. Jamie Lee Curtis is a hoot as his unknowing wife. Well when the bad guys target Arnie and his family, look out. True Lies is filled with over the top action mayhem such as an exciting shoot-out in a Washington hotel bathroom and then a chase on horseback. And the amazing finale involving some fighter jet action as the bridge running to the Florida keys is demolished. Which carries over to Arnie flying one of the jets and taking out the bad guys in a high rise. Look for Bill Paxton in a funny role as a smarmy car salesman and Eliza Dushku as Arnie's rebellious daughter. Oh and Charlton Heston as Arnie's boss. Good stuff.

Favorite Schwarzenegger Movie Tag Lines

Since Arnold Schwarzenegger movies always had the big guy dropping quips and puns all the time, I thought I would do a post about the coolest tag lines of his films. You know the lines on the movie posters or the ones spoken in the trailer. Just something fun and cool to post. So here are some of my favorites.

The Running Man - A game nobody survives. But Schwarzenegger has yet to play.

Predator - It came for the thrill of the hunt. It picked the wrong man to hunt.

Terminator 2 - It's nothing personal.

Commando - Somewhere... somehow... someone's going to pay.

True Lies - When he said I do, he never said what he did.

Red Heat - Moscow's toughest detective. Chicago's craziest cop. There's only one thing worse than making them mad. Making them partners.

Awesome Movie Weapons - rail gun (Eraser)

This has to be one of the coolest weapons ever. From Arnold Schwarzenegger 1996's action flick Eraser, which has him playing bad ass U.S. Marshal John Kruger, who is assigned to protect witness Vanessa Williams. During the rousing finale, the bad guys are using rail guns, which the U.S. Navy has clocked the speed of a railgun at seven times the speed of sound, to flush out Kruger in a warehouse. Well once our man takes those two fools out, he picks up the guns and proceeds to kick some ass. Once the rail gun is fired, it  leaves a plasma trail in it's wake which is very cool. It also has a night vision scope on the side which even uses X-ray technology to see through walls. Awesome weapon indeed.
