“You never knew when you’d rip off your shirt” – Predator BtS with Arnold Schwarzenegger (1987)

For licensing inquires contact us at: [email protected] What happens when you gather some of the most ripped guys in Hollywood in the middle of the jungle? According to Arnold, you get stealth gym sessions, shirtless psych-outs, and midnight pump calls. In this 1987 interview promoting Predator, he talks about the brotherhood (and biceps) behind the camera, including why the director kept them guessing about which scene would reveal their physiques. But Arnold also takes a moment to highlight something else: acting. To him, the real challenge wasn’t the stunts, it was selling the terror of facing a monster no one could see. 0:00 – Who Led the Set? 0:40 – Camaraderie On Set 1:03 – Training Rivalry Begins 1:27 – Midnight Pump Calls 2:08 – Jungle Gym Fun 2:33 – Acting vs. Physicality 3:12 – Selling the Fear
