Was getting the building from Robocop vibes (which if it was real you would know what it was)

Same thought!

"prizes like a trial by jury..."

The security for the raw footage of the Bakersfield Massacre is not very totalitarian-ish.

We are about a few years away from that.

“RAW”

Post by **brian** » Thu Feb 25, 2021 9:20 pm

"Only in a re-run" to Arnold's signature line is good comeback.

This would be disturbingly loud in a modern theater.

That exchange must have been in the trailer, right?

Post by **brian** » Thu Feb 25, 2021 9:21 pm

A seat in the studio audience would be nice, but give me those seats where the runners get ejected to every time.

This woman who can't decide which stalker to pick is better known as Charlie Day's mom on Always Sunny by the way.

Richard Dawson, Minister of WAP.

At least they don't traffic in racial stereotypes in the future.

Surprised the Sens haven’t stolen this intro wholesale for a pregame intro.

Ventura's wig is great.

Nerdy guy having trouble running before they even get going. It's a miracle he wasn't shown dropping his inhaler.

Think he had chin dimple enhancement, too

Reminder that at the conclusion of this battle with Subzero we're going to pause. There will actually be text on the screen that says "More To Come" and we'll pause there. Too on the nose not to.

Miss the “home version” of the game show joke

Pause on the deathly visage of Subzero and "More To Come".

Cue fox sports piano and pat summeral quiet voice

We'll come back at 9:40 PM

Arnold not minding that they cast two guys taller than him as his sidekicks is actually an impressive ego check.

Did the "More to Come" graphic appear? I'm paused, but we never got it (Amazon Prime).

Like, was Richard Dawson shown talking on the phone?

49:03 it's there

Yeah, I got it. Thank you.

My naive impression of Arnold the movie star was that he didn’t care about shit like that and once committed would do what was best for the project.

I mean, it's Yaphet Fucking Kotto. You gotta take him as a co-star. Not even exaggerating.

That'll teach me to try to catch up on the thread.

One of the best ever Late Night With David Letterman gags was showing Kotto, who is descended from African royalty and of course a fairly well-known actor at the time trying to hail a cab in NYC vs. an average white guy.

Anyone else find it unusual Dawson introduced him as "Professor Sub-Zero"? The opening credits lists someone as Professor (rest of name).

We're restarted

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Feb 25, 2021 9:41 pm

Would have preferred "Hogan's Heroes".

Dynamo being an opera singer is just the right amount of fucked up.

I mean, he was Professor Tanaka in the WWF. Maybe Dawson slipped and they just kept it.

Dawson's intro of Amber feels a little Trump-like.
