Is it true? Was the Terminator really a gay porn star? Maybe its just a stupid rumor some kid made up to be funny. But its really been on my mind. Anybody know anything about this?

There’s no indication that Arnold ever did porno movies, but he DID regularly pose in the nude for photographs. SOme of the photos in question have appeared in mainstream magazines like “Spy,” which claimed that, in his less prosperous years, Arnold had no qualms about letting gay men photograph him in the buff.
Rumor has it that the original theatrical cut of The Terminator showed Arnold’s schnitzengruben in an opening scene. An ex-boss (more reliable than the ever popular FOAF) said that his wife took him back to see it twice for that reason. More apocryphally I’ve been told he went into body building so the rest of him would match the proprotion of his wilhelm.
That part of it is true, I think. I’m not sure as to the credibility of all of the IMDB’s (Internet move database) data, but that was on there. (www.imdb.com)
FWIW:
I’ve heard from 2 independent and fairly reliable sources that a big rumor in Hollywood is that Arnold actually has the HIV virus. The story is that in the late 70s/early 80s when he was trying to start a film career…well, let’s just say there were a few gay producers who probably weren’t very upset when a former Mr. Universe (or whatever Arnold was) walked into the office. Arnold also had a reputation for being very ‘ambitious.’
Like I say, just a rumor…
Actually, we have a copy of “The Terminator”, and right after he arrives in LA, they show him walking down a street nude, and you can clearly see it swinging back and forth. Suffice to say, I rewound that part several times ;). Although, it’s only a few seconds long.
I know it’s not really related, but I have to share this:
I once rented a movie from the Blockbuster section, “Le Bad Cinema” called Hercules Goes Bananas, starring a bad Woody Allen look-alike, Arnold as Hercules, and some American guy as his voice.
I just found it on IMDb.
Anyone ever see it?
Can’t say that I have, or even want to.

How do you spell Hercules again?

It’s kind of wierd to refer to Arnold Stang as a “bad Woody Allen look-alike”, since he was around before Woody Allen. _Hercules Goes Bananas is also know as Hercules in New York or Hercules: The Movie. It was made in 1970.
maybe you were thinking of Sly in Party at Kitty and Stud’s? not a gay film, but a porn, for sure.
Nah, it was the Last Action Hero himself.
Yes !! !.. freakin’ hilarious
Yes! I think MST3K featured it once. It was hilarious seeing Arnold talk with a neutral American voice. That, and the 'bots tearing the film apart.
FYI

[li]Arnold was billed as Arnold Strong for “Hercules in New York”.[/li][li]They cut 16 minutes of it when they re-released it as “Hercules Goes Bananas”. (Does that title remind you of “Herbie Goes Bananas”? :D)[/li][/ul]

…I gotta friend who travled extensively in Austria, including Arnie’s hometown,where she claims it is a well known secret that he was a hustler in his teen years…she also claimed to have hot tubbed with Teddy Kennedy and some other Kennedy kin, so take this w/ a grain of salt,eh?
Some years back, a fellow student of mine bought a mag (Playgirl?) that featured nude shots of Arnold… and his wilhelm most definitely not proportional to the rest of his body, maybe because he was at his maximum muscle bulk when the photos were taken. None of us gals were impressed, at any rate.
A mid-1970s edition of Penthouse had an article (yes, I used to read it for the articles) on penis size. Arnold was mentioned as one of the smaller fish in the celebrity pond, at less than five inches.
The largest? The dearly departed Roddy McDowell, at eleven.
As far as Arnold’s proclivities for men, I don’t know, but here’s a fine FOAF story, which I will shamelessly repeat:
A buddy of mine went to school in Belgium for a time. There, he had a female friend who picked up Arnold in a bar somewhere in Belgium in the mid-1980s. The next day, she of course wanted to brag about her conquest, and told my pal all about it. The two relevant pieces of information:
There’s at least one muscle on Arnie that is not overdeveloped;
Arnold was only interested in going in through the out door.
Keep in mind, I am merely parroting an unverified rumor. And I don’t care which direction Arnold’s compass points, as long as he continues to glorify senseless violence on the silver screen.
Seconds are generally used to measure time or angles. I’ve never heard of using it for length.
I saw the nude photos of Arnold in “Spy,” and I can say with some pride that I am bigger than him in one regard. As to whether a gay porn star or not, I don’t know. There is a fairly sizeable gay community among bodybuilders so the possibility that a struggling young Arnold may have taken the plunge (so to speak) in order to make a few dollars (or marks).
Interesing. Lots of claims that Arnold isn’t that hung but his winky is swinging like a pendulum do in The Terminator. I’m beginning to suspect the same special effects as in Boogie Knights.
Roddy McDowall. Never would have suspected him. I always heard that Forrest Tucker and Uncle Miltie were the kings of hollywood.
