ICS building is vaguely Nakatomi Plaza-ish.
Was getting the building from Robocop vibes (which if it was real you would know what it was)
Same thought!

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

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

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.

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

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.

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).

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