The Terminator : Arnold said OJ Simpson was to be the Terminator

Arnold said OJ Simpson was to be the Terminator

Over the weekend I saw a sit down interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger where he said that originally OJ was to be terminator and Schwarzenegger was to play Reese.

Really hard to to see Schwarzenegger as Reese.

Thank God OJ didn't play the role.

Re: Arnold said OJ Simpson was to be the Terminator

I remember bringing this up in a topic on here a few years ago. I was told the studio wanted Arnold as the good guy along with Arnold's agent. But Arnold when reading the script was fascinated with the character the Terminator when Cameron first gave him the script and wanted to play the part of it. Arnold came to Cameron with this idea and Cameron liked the idea. And history was made. I think the movie would've been different if Arnold had done as the studio and his agent wanted and played Reese. It's hard to imagine Arnold getting shot and later getting punched in the head by the Terminator. Then dying.

1, 2 Freddy's coming for you. 3, 4 better lock your door.

Taking OJ seriously

Even knowing that OJ was a real-life murderer, as an actor, I have only seen him as a comic actor, so it would be hard to picture him in this role.

Has anybody seen this fan made poster of The Terminator featuring O.J. Simpson as the T-800? I was surprised when I saw it.

I have a very hard time believing that O.J. Simpson would stop at nothing to do serious bodily harm to an attractive white woman.

Yes, this is really me.
