Arnold Schwarzenegger Reveals the “Terrible Sh*t” the Director of CONAN Made Him Do, Like “Bite a Real, Dead Vulture” — GeekTyrant

Arnold Schwarzenegger has launched a new self-help e book and memoir titled Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life and in that e book shares some of the insane issues that he needed to do for some of the movie initiatives he labored on. One of the wildest movies that he labored on was Conan the Barbarian, and he reveals some of the loopy issues that director John Milius compelled him to do, “terrible shit”, like biting into a actual useless vulture! He stated:

“I learned to ride horses and camels and elephants. I learned how to jump from large rocks, how to climb and swing from long ropes, how to fall from a height. I basically went to another vocational school, this one for aspiring action heroes.”

He then talked about the darker aspect of the expertise saying:

“Then on top of that, Milius had me doing all kinds of terrible shit. I crawled through rocks, take after take, until my forearms bled. I ran from wild dogs that managed to catch me and pull me into a thorn bush. I bit a real, dead vulture that required I wash my mouth out with alcohol after each take. (PETA would have a field day with that one.). On one of the first days of filming, I tore a gash on my back that required forty stitches.”

So, that seems like it could’ve been enjoyable! Regardless of the pains he needed to endure, he wasn’t scared to do it yet again and jumped at the likelihood to make the sequel, Conan the Destroyer. That first Conan film actually launched his profession, so I suppose all these sacrafices paid off.

He additionally talked about James Cameron’s The Terminator and the way is was compelled to carry out each stunt that includes a gun with a blindfold on. He defined:

“On ‘The Terminator,’ it was becoming a machine: blindfolding myself until I could do every gun stunt with my eyes closed, and shooting so many rounds at the range that I no longer blinked when my gun fired. On ‘Terminator 2,’ it was practicing the shotgun cocking flip so many times my knuckles bled for what amounted to two seconds of screen time. I didn’t complain.”

I like these older Arnold Schwarzenegger motion pictures! He positive did make some nice movies over the course of his epic profession.
