“I’ll be back” is the signature line of the Terminator movie franchise, with either the catchphrase itself or a variation on it being said in all six films in the series to date. It’s such an iconic line, though, that it’s actually spread out into other movies totally unrelated to the James Cameron sci-fi saga. Well, apart from one thing: they all star Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Yes, the Austrian Oak has called back to his most famous role while playing various other characters across his career. In fact, there are a total of eight non-Terminator films in which he’s said the line, and here’s a quick rundown of them all…
Commando (1985) – Just one year after the release of The Terminator, Schwarzenegger’s retired special forces colonel John Matrix tells sub-villain Bennett “I’ll be back,” to which the antagonist replied, “I’ll be waiting.”

Since returning to his acting career after a few years in politics, Arnold Schwarzenegger has talked quite a bit about rejuvenating his former glory by doing sequels to films from his past. He has already completed work on the upcoming Terminator: Genisys, but in the past couple years he has also talked about the return of characters like Conan and Julius Benedict. Now it looks like we may soon be able to add Ben Richards to that list, as Schwarzenegger has been hinting at a new Running Man movie. The Austrian-born actor is currently in London, and it was while speaking during a Q&A that he revealed talks of a possible Running Man 2 in the works. According to Digital Spy, Schwarzenegger didn't exactly elaborate on what might be happening with the property or if he is actually attached to a project, but he did say that there have ...

He's back as promised, but his latest role as a small-town sheriff has led some to question if Arnie can still cut it as Conan
There may never be another Hollywood film star like Arnold Schwarzenegger. In the 1980s and 90s the Austrian oak was such a totemic figure on the big screen that screenwriters stopped bothering to explain away his thick Styrian accent and preposterous bulk, aware that audiences accepted him instinctively. Perhaps the most obvious sign of the former California governor's slide down the stature scale comes in the denouement of his new action film The Last Stand, which is out today in UK cinemas. Faced with a sneering villain who has been behaving very badly indeed, Schwarzenegger's grizzled small-town sheriff tells his enemy: "You make us immigrants look bad." It raised a laugh at the screening I attended, but 80s writers wouldn't have needed to flag up Arnie's alienness.

Arnold Schwarzenegger stopped by Reddit today for an “Ask Me Anything” session and dropped an interesting piece of information: the Twins sequel is still happening and Danny DeVito and Eddie Murphy are on board, too.
The Ivan Reitman-directed comedy was one of the biggest hits of 1988 and has made over $200 million worldwide on a $15 million budget. Rumors of a sequel have been circulating for a while now and have mostly been propelled by Schwarzenegger himself (notably at Comic-Con last year). The word is that Triplets will add Murphy to the clan of brothers.

The Last Stand hits UK cinemas on Thursday 24th January and to celebrate, we’ve got five sets of exclusive merchandise to give away to some lucky winners, including a limited edition T-shirt, a sheriff badge and copy of The Expendables 2 on DVD.
Action icon Arnold Schwarzenegger makes his much-anticipated return to the big screen in Korean action-suspense director Kim Jee-woon’s hard-hitting Us directorial debut, The Last Stand.
After leaving his Lapd narcotics post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with remorse and regret, Sheriff Ray Owens (Schwarzenegger) moved out of Los Angeles and settled into a life fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction. But that peaceful existence is shattered when Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega), the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the western hemisphere, makes a deadly yet spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy.

Oh, he's back all right! Free from the political arena, Arnold Schwarzenegger is heading full steam into the movie biz with his first feature, "Cry Macho."
Deadline Hollywood reported the former California governor will receive $10 million up front, and 25 percent first dollar gross on the back end -- meaning if the film's a hit, he'll make many more millions. Not too shabby for guy who's been out of the game for eight years!

The same source that broke the Justin Lin "Terminator 5" news tells What's Playing that Arnold Schwarzenegger is considering another sequel to another of his works - the 1988 comedy "Twins".
Their source claims “Arnold, Danny De Vito and Ivan Reitman are all still in touch and want to work together again, Universal came to them about it [a 'Twins' sequel]. It’s a germ of an idea that could spread fast.”
The original had Arnie playing Julius Benedict, the product of an experiment to create a perfect human being who lives on a south seas island where he is raised by philosophers.
He learns the experiment went awry, creating an accidental twin (DeVito) who didn't inherit his height, physicality or brains and was given up for adoption years before. He sets out in search of both him and their long lost mother.

With California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger starring in action movie The Expendables in August and leaving office in January, fans are eagerly anticipating the actor's return to the big screen.
