 | True Lies is my 2nd favorite Arnold movie after Terminator 2. It's such great fun and has great acting! Arnold, Jamie Lee Curits, Tom Arnold, and Bill Paxton are all excellent. The movie has SO MANY memorable action scenes but also has loads of great laughs. The movie is about a spy played by Arnold whose wife thinks that he's a computer salesman. Arnold fights lots of bad guys and even rides on a horse! It's nonstop fun with great action and great laughs. Some of the scenes with Bill Paxton will have you rolling on the floor with laughter.
All I can say is that if you like Arnold movies, this is a definite must own and even if you don't like him but like action movies, this is one of the best ones! |

| I'm actually surprised I didn't really like this movie. I think the bases was good (terrorists with a bomb- I know it's not that original) but I didn't like how most of the movie (almost half!) was about Arnie and his wife and their problems, It was unrelated to the bases of the movie. The 3 things I did like were 3 characters I think were caseted perfectly, Arnold (need I say more,; HES THE MAN DUDE!), his funny sidekick Tom Arnold, and the pervert Bill Paxton. Worth a watch though, just not has good as i thought/or expected from the great duo of Arnold and Cameron. |

| A conservatism film staring Carlton Heston as Spencer Trilby. Heston send out his tango loving agents to protect the U.S. from terrorists. Harry (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is one of their best. His family thinks he is an innocuous computer salesman.
Sometime he horses around with the bad guys. At other times he is a little flighty.
Harry has to watch the "Sand Spider" (Art Malik.)
The wife, Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) being a little board finds satisfaction in helping a dubious faux spy Simon (Bill Paxton.)
What would Harry do if he knew the truth about Simon?
How would Helen react if she found out the truth about Harry?
What if the "Sand Spider" found out about Harry's daughter?
Is the world safer?
Tom Arnold is so helpful with his "one liners."

| I officially love this movie. It's my favourite Arnie film ever, plus it has a very young Eliza Dushku in one of her first starring roles. However, I am disappointed to discover, after getting the region 2 version, that it was cut for UK viewers, in order to make it a 15 certificate, and making it 135 minutes long. I could only spot one scene that had been cut, and that's because it was done so badly. (I can spot stuff that's been added in, but I'm hopeless at spotting stuff that's been taken out, unless I'm looking for it) The scene I spotted was just after Arnie gets given the truth drug.
This movie is full of memorable and infamous scenes, including Jamie Lee Curtis' stripping scene, the beginning scenes, the finale (although heavily CGI-d by the looks of it!), Jamie & Tia Carrere (Juno Skinner) fighting in the limo and put it this way, Men In Black & the Matrix (heavily) ripped this movie off. A lot of this is what you see in the Matrix. Tom Arnold is terrific, especially when he's trying to get to Arnie in the van, and skidding about on the ice! ("It's called ice and it gets a little slick.") OK, you have to see it, but when he sees Dana (Eliza) with a motorbike helmet and says to her: "Yeah, I remember the first time I got shot out of a cannon." Or: "You know what? I'm sick of being in the van. You guys are going to be in the van next time. I've been in the van for 15 years, Harry."
When Arnie rescues wife Jamie Lee Curtis from an airborne chopper, he grasps her by her arm just as the chopper heads out over the water. The woman you see dangling below the chopper skid is no body double, but Curtis doing her very own stunt work. At her insistence, director James Cameron agreed to let her perform this scary spectacle.
I absolutely LOVE how Arnie can laugh at himself, bringing out his infamous lines ("You're fired"), and doing everything but winking at the camera. One of his best moments in this is when he's at the urinal and he starts whistling "Edelweiss" from The Sound of Music. He also learned how to land and take off a Harrier Jet for the climax of the film.
The place where Helen meets Simon at night is the 6th street bridge, the location used in Terminator 2: Judgment Day when we are introduced to the T-1000.
Bill Paxton is absolutely hilarious as the used car salesman, who's fantasy world quickly becomes reality. You can't help but laugh at this guy when he comes on screen.
My only quibble about this movie? The finale. Although it's great, yadeyadeyada, it's so very much not real, and way too over the top! The only thing that tries to save it is Eliza Dushku, getting in some practice for Tru Calling.
As one of my favourite Arnie movies, I command you to watch this. It's brilliant!!! And I'm sure there's a few guys out there of a certain age, who discovered the, er, joys of older women while watching it. |
