At 6' 2", Style, you must've been an imposing figure. What did you weigh at your peak muscle mass?

The Wook

He was Wook - especially with his chaps, leather vest and handlebar mustache.


I saw Arnold a few times but the only time I stood next to him was when he was filming Batman and Robin - he was all done up as Mr Freeze (top only) below he was wearing shorts and slippers - I'm only 5'9 - maybe 5'10 with boots and he wasn't that much taller than me - Rob is way taller than I remember Arnie being.

Funny thing about that day - I was a lowly PA waiting for a package to take to SAG so I stood next to Arnold for a long time waiting - they were filming the museum scene at the beginning of the film - Arnold leaned over and said "There's a place to eat your lunch, huh?" motioning to a hot girl's rump as she walked by. I laughed and he looked at me and said "Are you a Mexican?" I said "Yeah." then he said "You could eat your lunch there then take a siesta between her butt cheeks. Bwaaa Ha ha Ha !!! I laughed thinking - wow the Terminator just put down my race. But it was funny.

assless chaps, the details make or break the costume.

Wook, look up Roland Kickinger. He is everything your memories of Arnold on film were in real life. The guy is a giant, an honest 6' 4".

I know, I know...I remember him from Son of The Beach, lol. But he's not Arnold, the larger-than-life super-fantastic blockbuster action movie star champion bodybuilder I worshipped as a teen and young man.

The Wook

ps~Roland had the imposing height, and a good bodybuilding physique, but not a world champion physique like Arnold had, nor the star quality that Arnold possessed. (Having said all that, Roland was a good choice to use in Salvation as the prototype T-800, with Arnie's CGI face.)

Just kidding Rob - one thing about you is you always have good looking girlfriends.

Bruce Willis has a published height of six foot, but is generally considered to be 5-11.

However, please note that Arnold and Sly have a habit of wearing lifts whenever they know they are appearing together. Bruce.....I have no idea.
