i dont know if its just me, but i always seemed to notice the amount fo strange character names you notice in arnie films.

it maybe they arnt even strange. if i think about it, the names are not un-ordinary but if i tryed to imagine such names in a film that didnt contain arnie i just dont think they would fit.

in predator we have Poncho Ramirez
in T1 there is Ginger Ventura
in T2 there is Dr. Miles Bennett Dyson (how long winded!)
in commando there is John Matrix
in running man there is Damon Killian
in total recall there is Vilos Cohaagen

the last one i think is one of the strangest names of the lot.

does anyone else 'get' what im saying? the names just seen so strange.

I love Arnie movies. Total Recall is one of the greatest movies ever! Cohaagen, you must give these people air!

ya TR was awsome.

Most of his films are good action movies and are great to watch.. ok hes not the best actor in the world but what he does it does it just fine.

Agreed.
Anyone got the new total recall DVD yet? Thinking about it, but due to lack of funds I need to be careful with purchases - must be worth it!
I hear the extra's are good and that some of it is remastered?

Yeah I have it. The extras are really good and it comes in a funky steel case. I don't think its remastered, but it all look very spiffing.

Commando spawned roughly 10 years of friend of mine re-enacting the, "I don't need the girl John, I don't need the Girl. I'm gonna kill you now!!!" line that chainmail vest guy says ;)

No but I can show you my willy if that makes you happy.

My rl name is John Matrix and I am slightly offended you find it a funny name.

Ah we'll be OK Trem. Notice how tris hasn't in a while? Uncle Vilos fiddled about with the oxygen controls for his sector. He might not be back for a while.....

i find it really bizzare that no one agrees with me

in what other films do you find names of such caliber?

and in what other films with the same main star do you always find people have such strange names?
