Celebrate Arnold Schwarzenegger's Birthday with a Movie Quiz!
Join us in celebrating Arnold Schwarzenegger's 79th birthday with a fun quiz featuring eight of his iconic films, along with interesting behind-the-scenes facts about *Conan the Barbarian*.
Today marks the 79th birthday of the iconic Arnold Schwarzenegger, affectionately known as the Governator. To celebrate this special occasion, we present a fun quiz featuring eight notable films from the Hollywood star's illustrious career!
While Schwarzenegger has been less visible in cinema in recent years, fans can look forward to the return of his legendary character Conan to the big screen in 2028. This highly anticipated event is expected to be as significant as the release of Top Gun: Maverick in 2022, which saw Tom Cruise reprise his famous role as Pete "Maverick" Mitchell from the 1980s.
Interestingly, the upcoming King Conan will be helmed by Christopher McQuarrie, a director who has worked closely with Tom Cruise on five occasions, including the Jack Reacher films and the last four entries in the Mission Impossible series.
However, fans will have to wait two more years to see Schwarzenegger don the role that catapulted him to fame in 1982. In the meantime, let's dive into a quiz dedicated to his remarkable filmography. But before you start, here are some fascinating behind-the-scenes tidbits about Conan the Barbarian.
DID YOU KNOW?
A Heavy Sword The filming of Conan the Barbarian was physically demanding for all the actors, particularly for Arnold Schwarzenegger. His sword was so heavy that he struggled to wield it effectively. Additionally, his cumbersome armor made it difficult for him to sit comfortably, hindering his ability to rest between takes.
Inadequate Stunt Doubles Despite the numerous dangerous scenes, both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sandahl Bergman performed their own stunts. The production found it challenging to source stunt doubles who could match their impressive physiques.
A Silent Couple Although Conan and Valeria are together throughout the film, they exchange words only once. This brief interaction occurs during their first meeting, where just five words are spoken: "- Are you a guard? - No."
