You know, this isn’t that bad. Well, except the soundtrack is awful, and the fights aren’t choreographed very well, and Jesse Ventura is terrible. Besides all that, it’s not bad!
Decent idea and the villain is appropriately evil and threatening. (Him taking kids hostage in a school is particularly uncomfortable nowadays, not that it ever was.) Schwarzenegger was supposedly going to be Abraxas, but turned it down to do T2. I’m thankful that he did for multiple reasons. We got a damn fine movie in T2, and we didn’t have the villain AND the hero going around with their Danish (Thorson) and Austrian (Schwarzenegger) accents.
Though I do think Arnold would have helped THIS film a bit.
