Terminator: 20 Easter Eggs And References You Must See

3. That Future Terminator Is Arnie's Gym Buddy

It's been quite a career path for Arnold Schwarzenegger. His first film appearance was the infamous body-building documentary Pumping Iron, where he caught the eyes of Hollywood producers who thought that giant man would be a good action star, if they could teach him to talk. A few short decades later, and he was Governor Of California for several years. Still, Arnie never forgot where he came from. He was always making sure his pals from the weight-lifting days were looked after, even arranging for them to have appearances in his films: Franco Columbu, another star of Pumping Iron and multiple Mr Olympia winner like Schwarzenegger, making appearances in Conan, The Running Man, and as the future Terminator who infiltrates the human camp in the first film's dream sequence.
