http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15_E8h1ifCU In one of Arnie's genuine, indisputable classics, James Cameron's The Terminator, it's understandable that his T-800 machine character is going to be a little hard-up for cash at the start of the story, given that he's just travelled through the time-displacement field, which only allows flesh (or objects wrapped in flesh) to travel through it. Granted, Skynet could probably have sewn a couple of hundred bucks into his shoulder or something, but we imagine they had way more important things to think about. Anyway, when you're Arnold Schwarzenegger, the last thing you need is cash; his currency is sweat, which could probably power a small country if it were real. So, the T-800 needs to get on his feet and prep himself for the day of murdering that's ahead; he enters a gun-shop and asks for a phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range. They don't have it? Shucks. An Uzi 9mm will have to do. Oh, and he's broke, too? No matter, just load the gun in front of the decrepit store owner, take his business literally into your own hands, and blow the mother away. Simple.
