these years. Schwarzenegger was not shy to admit his mistake and give credit to
Cameron for keeping the line and hail it ‘absolutely right.’ He continued to add
that how the infamous line is the most quoted line in the history of motion
pictures. Although it became a tremendous hit, why did the actor want to change
the line in the first place?


ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER FOUND THE LINE TO BE ‘FUNNY’

The 1984 sci-fi film sees Schwarzenegger as a cyborg assassin. He was there to
alter the history in order to change the future. Considering the character, the
former governor of California thought “I’ll be back” sounded funnier. As he
wanted something that sounded more machine-like to fit with his character like
“I will be back”.

However, Cameron did not feel the significant need to change the line because he
thought it did not even have that much impact overall. Nevertheless, even after
all these years, the line “I’ll be back” has its charm. So, as Schwarzenegger
himself admitted, Cameron was right to stick to his decision.



Nevertheless, the 1984 film surely made history with its box office collection
of $78 million against a budget of $6.4 million. Along with the lead actor, who
wasn’t the first choice even,
