Rewind Wednesday: True Lies

"When he said I do, he never said what he did. "

Today's Rewind Wednesday is a bit of action mixed with comedy. You can always count on me watching this movie everytime it comes on whether its TBS or TNT. This is one of those movies that has a bit of seriousness but at the same time it still entertains you. True Lies is a 1994 action-comedy film starring stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Arnold, Bill Paxton, Tia Carrere, Charlton Heston, and Art Malik. True Lies is an extended remake of the 1991 French film La Totale.



True Lies would serve as a great comeback role for Schwarzenegger considering his past flicks (Last Action Hero, previous summer). The movie would end up earning $146 million and $232.6 million abroad, making it the third best-grossing movie of 1994. For her performance, And Jamie Lee Curtis would truly benefit from her performance considering she would receive a 1994 Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical/Comedy.

Now at one point in time a sequel was in the works, however there were some glitches that would arise. Back in 2002, online news reports quoted actress Eliza Dushku as saying there was going to be a sequel reuniting the original cast and writer/director James Cameron. Director James Cameron originally planned on making a sequel sometime in 2002, but plans were put on hold once the 9/11 terrorist attacks occurred in NYC, citing that "in this day and age, terrorism isn't funny." As of January 2009 there have been talks between Tom Arnold and Arnold Schwarzenegger to do a True Lies sequel as soon as Schwarzenegger leaves office. Jamie Lee Curtis's and Eliza Dushku's involvement is unknown.

And as always here are couple of scenes to get the funny bone stirring.

True Lies is one of my all-time favorite Arnold movies and you're right, he needed this movie to revamp his career after 'Last Action Hero' and 'Junior' bombed at the box office. I have 'True Lies' on both VHS and DVD... I simply love the movie!
