Terminator 2: 13 Behind-The-Scenes Facts About The Arnold Schwarzenegger Movie

Arnold Schwarzenegger Was A Prankster On The Set Of Terminator 2

He gave, arguably, the finest performance of his career as an emotionless machine, but on the set of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Arnold Schwarzenegger had quite the sense of humor. While filming an early scene when the freshly transported, and freshly naked, T-800 walks into a biker bar looking for clothes, Schwarzenegger took the opportunity to get a laugh out of the cast and crew by wearing, as James Cameron described to The Hollywood Reporter, “the loudest pair of Hawaiian print board shorts that he can.” The director added that the prank actually incited the perfect reaction from the bar patrons who gave the Austrian actor a look of surprise right where it was most appropriate.
