Oh God, yes. I guess Cameron felt it didn't need one? This could so have been an American James Bond style franchise, although without Arnie and Curtis, probably woulda sunk like a stone.

Only saw it when it was in the cinema and not too much has stuck so wondering what I'll think of it.

Yeah, there's a lot about it that doesn't sit well in today's PC climate – spectacular racism and awful stereotypes abound. But, as with most "period" films, sometimes "current event" beliefs don't translate as well some decades later, due to social shifts in perception.

LOL Paxton is great in this. A total douchebag, he plays it well.

It's one of my favorite Arnie flicks. Great points about how it aged, though.

His performance always made me laugh!
