'True Lies': The Story Behind the Classic Movie You Didn't Know

This film is a classic among the action film classics of the 1990s, one of the best in the works starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, and another milestone in the work of James Cameron. For ordinary Chinese audiences, this film is also the beginning of China's imported Hollywood blockbusters, which once set off a movie viewing frenzy in the mainland film market. The U.S. government provided three Sea Harrier fighter jets for the film, and the crew had to pay the pilots more than $100,000, and their wages were $2,410 an hour. Schwarzenegger learned how to take off and land a Sea Harrier during filming. Not only is the film rich in detail, its characters have a thickness and color that is rare in entertainment. The film also has a sense of humor that creeps into my bones. James Cameron mentioned in an interview that it was Schwarzenegger who came to him excitedly with the script, saying that he was very interested in the role of Harry. Cameron was very surprised at that time because he had never met Shi. Wassinger was so fascinated by a character in a script that after reading the script, Cameron decided to shoot.

    I watched it when I was in high school, it was very enjoyable at the time, especially the part where he fooled his wife and made her dance. The tape recorder fell off. It's a classic.

    Too low a point of laughter~ Michael Bay talks about burning money and James Cameron laughed~ The last tango was good, with 2 Por Una Cabeza and 1 Blue Danube. . .
