An interesting fact is that Arnold himself came to James Cameron with the idea of the film after seeing the French comedy film “La Totale!”. Schwarzenegger was interested in the story of an international spy, whose double life led him to complicated family relations. Arnold was fascinated by the idea of the film: on the one hand, it was a superhero who influenced world events, and on the other, he was not able to cope with smaller problems and was defeated in family life.
Cameron also liked the idea, and he acted not only as a director, but as a screenwriter and producer of the film. In general, James is one of the most talented directors in Hollywood, as he has a film that is not a real hit. He shoots, maybe not so often, but all the films are simply stunning with their scope, inimitable atmosphere, and in cases with “True Lies” they also have excellent humor.
I will not forget the strip scene at the hotel with the transformation of Jamie Lee Curtis into a sex bomb. Very impressive.
