Random Movie Trivia - The Terminator

Here is the next edition in our weekly Random Movie Trivia post.  Enjoy:

The Terminator

• O.J. Simpson was considered for the part of The Terminator but the producers thought he was "too nice" to play a cold-blooded killer.  How funny is that?
• Also, Mel Gibson, Tom Selleck, Kevin Kline, Michael Douglas, and Randy Quaid turned down the title role.
• In the original script, James Cameron wrote that the Terminator had to eat periodically in order for his human flesh to survive.  There was a scene depicting the killer robot eating a candy bar with the wrapper still intact.
• The beginning of production was delayed 9 months because Arnold Schwarzenegger was still filming Conan the Destroyer.  James Cameron didn't want to just wait around, so he took on another project that turned out to be Aliens.
• Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted to play the part of Kyle Reese but James Cameron told him "this movie is not about the hero.  It's about the Terminator" and history was made.
• Linda Hamilton broke her ankle prior to production and had to have her leg heavily wrapped for all of the chase scenes.
• Schwarzenegger's famous line "I'll be back" was originally scripted "I'll come back".
• One day during a break in filming, Arnold went to grab a bite to eat at a nearby restaurant but forgot that he was still in his Terminator costume complete with a missing eye, exposed jawbone, and burned flesh.
• The role of Sarah Conner was written for Bridget Fonda, but she turned it down.  The role then went to Tatum O'Neal but they decided they needed an older actress.  Kate Upshaw and Kathleen Turner were suggested but they were filming Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Romancing the Stone respectively.
• Susan Sarandon, Glenn Close, Rhea Perlman, Sigourney Weaver, Cybill Shepherd, Jane Seymour, Anjelica Huston, Kim Basinger, Jodie Foster, Melanie Griffith, Christie Brinkley, Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ally Sheedy, Jessica Lange, Sissy Spacek, Liza Minnelli, Mia Farrow, Meg Ryan, Heather Locklear, Jennifer Grey, Madonna, and Margot Kidder were all considered for the role of Sarah Connor.
• Schwarzenegger only has 16 lines in the whole movie.
• The body bag Kyle Reese is put in at the end of the movie is actually just James Cameron's suit bag.
• While filming the final scene of the movie (Sarah Conner driving off into the distance), the crew was approached by a policeman who wanted to know if they had a permit to be filming which they didn't.  A special effects supervisor lied to the cop by telling him they were just shooting a scene for his son's student film.

"So funny when you think about it."
