Just wondered which of Arnold’s characters you’d be most interested in re-visiting at Arnold’s current age? That, or what characters you feel Arnold could now grow into (akin to Clint Eastwood with his role in Unforgiven that he purposefully saved until he felt he was the correct age to play…the older, more grizzled ex killer).

I would hate to see Arnold try to remain the hero of 20-30 years ago, but to play tough as nails more grizzled characters. Of his previous incarnations there are 2 I can’t choose between;

1: Dutch Schaeffer - can imagine him like Eastwood’s Marine in Heartbreak Ridge - training and then leading younger ‘bucks’ and still being the one kicking ass and taking numbers.

2: King Conan - come on, who wouldn’t want to see this! He’s the right age and the old king going back into battle one last time….

That’s my two (cop out I know, but couldn’t choose between them). Bonus question…which character do you think would kick the others ass’...Dutch vs. Conan??? Ill have to think about that one smile

I’d love to see another Conan with Arnie and whats funny with todays technology they could do Conan with young Arnold. Not sure if Arnie would approve but take a look what some artists did with Conan and Arnold:

cool images. I know what you mean about CG technology, but personally I’d still rather see Arnold accept the passage of time and do some serious damage as a wiser, grizzled and hard as nails king. Bring the story to a fitting end.

I would really like to see an update of the character from Predator. What happened to him after the events of the film?, has he encountered other predators since then? perhaps even have the character embark on a epic mission to stop predators from hunting humans and see a development of the original movie that was such a classic in the series of films. If AvP could breathe a little life into both franchises then i think Arnold could completely revive the predator series.

Collateral Damage is a film with raw power, brutality and explosive action. Arnold is Gordy Brewer, an ex US fireman who travels to Columbia to avenge his wife’s and his son’s death due to a terrorist bomb attack. The situation in there is dark, terse, sinister and horrendous with infighting locals and security forces and Arnold gets caught up in the action, captured and tortured and thrown in a cell to rot. He is rescued by a woman and her son in whom Arnold finds his faith and belief. But the wily woman turns out to be scheming with her husband and tries to blow up the place with their terrorist activities but is slayed in the climax by Arnold in an underground tunnel. Arnold takes possession of the boy and disappears into oblivion.

No doubt Conan is one of the most adored and popular character among everyone that Arnold has played. Also Dutch in the movie Predator. They both are stellar. But if you ask me I think the credit of playing the role of a Terminator has to receive a big applause - that too in 3 installments : The Terminator, Terminator 2 : Judgment Day and Terminator 3 : Rise Of The Machines.

Oh man, Conan all the way. But only with a script that keeps it to Howard’s character and something new and not from an existing story and play it to the fans like they did in Conan TB. 

Picture Arnold at his current age, as Conan, as Frazetta would paint him. A brief scene where he tells tells a boy “what is best in life” would top it off.

Arnold as Conan is the ultimate favorite with most of Arnold’s fans.
