… a lovely video of one of the things that made me love Sharon Stone back in 1990. The other you can watch here…

Then there’s all the deaths in one easy to view video…

…and all the Arnie one-liners and swearing.

It’s actually a very good movie in a lot of ways, providing you realise it really all is in Arnie’s head.
