No Poledouris, no care. 70% of the original was the soundtrack. I still get goosebumps with Anvil of Crom, Atlantean Sword or Civilization.

I hope he goes back on the roids before the movie so he doesn't look as saggy as he does in those ocean rescue pictures from when he was the Govinator.

Holycrap finally realized that making reboots of old and awesome franchise doesnt really cut it. They need Ahnold magic.

I'd rather see him as Cohen, Ghengiz. Would suit him well at that age, and he is already at #1 of Cohen casting suggestions.

That looks pretty good. Thanks for pointing it out.

I'd like to see more stuff about Bronze Age cultures. Troy was entertaining, although they didn't provide much historical context. Same for Alexander. The 300 was entertaining but too stylized and not historical. I'd like to see something about the Hittite conquest of Anatolia, for example (not the Biblical "Hittites" but the real ones: the "Hatti"). That's a people generally neglected by Western culture and a great story involving some interesting characters, the dawn of the Iron age, and the roots of the conflict between Western and Middle Eastern civilizations.
