Austrian body-builder/action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger takes on a Swiss chalet of bad-guys in the wintry opening chase scene of the 1994 film True Lies. Working as an undercover operative, Arnie infiltrates a chateau in Switzerland by scuba diving beneath the icy entrance. After getting the information he needs, and dancing a tango with Tia Carrere, he escapes with a brilliant one-liner and a huge explosion. The resulting chase is a high-speed downhill sequence, as Arnie races through the tree-filled mountain side to his getaway van. Skiers with machine guns, snowmobiles and ferocious dogs don't stop Arnie as he slides down the mountain. At one point, he lies on his back and shoots a pistol back up the mountain, tobogganing head-first in a neat Tuxedo. Has anything cooler ever occurred in movie history?
