Was Schwarzenegger ever had any really touching, "emotional" lines in a movie?

You mean “You used to be somebody I could trust.” ? It’s from Predator. Arnold’s character is directing the line to Carl Weathers, who is playing a CIA agent who lied to get Arnold’s commando team to escort him into a warzone.

This was my vote, it was perfect acting chemistry between those two and the father-daughter interaction was completely convincing.

I loved that bit. I love the whole movie, and think it was his best role. “I’ve never just talked to a woman. It’s nice.” “Mom! You’ve turned him into a wimp!”

Arnold was very touching in “Commando” when he told Solly that he lied when he said he was going to kill him last. Has me all teary-eyed every week when I watch this classic.

It’s why his character in that movie is named John Matrix: it was a subtle announcement that, for the first time, he was going to be playing a role that wasn’t one-dimensional.

yup, pulled that straight outta my ass.

I thought it was because he was easily derivative.
