TriStar Pictures

"Hey man, I got five kids to feed!" ... or was that four? Arnie has just barely made it to Mars and he's already making friends with the locals. In this case, he's finding an ally in a fast-talking, streetwise cabbie whose apparent justification for everything is that he's "got five kids to feed."

The audience instantly falls in love with Benny thanks to his wily charms, every-man stature and seemingly infinite reserves of enthusiasm and optimism. Unfortunately, Benny turns out to be working for the cruel and villainous Cohaagen.

Naturally a fight ensues as Benny attempts to crush Arnie with a large tunnelling vehicle, but the Austrian Oak is able to sever the vehicle's fuel line with a large drill, before turning the drill on Benny, shouting "screw you!" as he skewers the jive-talking traitor.
