30th anniversary of True Lies: Iconic Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes that continue to win hearts

Arnold Schwarzenegger, the seven-time Mr. Olympia, is a well-known icon in the bodybuilding realm and Hollywood. The 76-year-old has been a part of some legendary movies since his prime in the 1970s. One such movie is True Lies, which was released on July 15, 1994, and is still winning hearts.

True Lies was directed by the iconic James Cameron, who also directed the Terminator series that gave Schwarzenegger his nickname and topped the box office.

After dominating the box office, the duo partnered and gave yet one more hit to the fans. True Lies has marked one more milestone and just completed its 13th anniversary on Monday, July 15.

Before True Lies, Cameron directed sci-fi and action movies with Schwarzenegger. But this movie was a perfect blend of comedy and action that caught everyone off-guard, showcasing Schwarzenegger's adaptability. Cameron adapted True Lies from the French comedy film "La Totale!", which was released three years earlier in 1991.

In True Lies, Schwarzenegger is featured as a spy for the Secret Service, which hunts down terrorists. The movie was a hit at the box office and collected a hefty amount of ₹25,869,770 in its opening week. True Lies was released in more than 2,000 theaters worldwide. It ran for approximately three months in theaters, and fans showcased immense love for the movie, making Schwarzenegger a formidable Hollywood actor.

Even 30 years after True Lies was released, fans still love some of the iconic quotes from the movie that the bodybuilding legend used.

Some of the famous quotes by Schwarzenegger in the movie are:

“People think I've stopped lying, but I've just got better at it.”

"Ask me a question I would normally lie to."

"You're Fired."

"Yeah, but they were all bad."

"Oh yeah, she's got her head in the guy's lap all right. Yahoo."

"I Know What This Is...This Is An Espresso Machine. No, no wait. It's a snow cone maker. Is It A Water Heater?"

Is there a sequel to True Lies?

True Lies collected ₹146,282,411 in domestic theaters alone and ₹146,282,411 worldwide, making it one of the best hits of Schwarzenegger's career. There were speculations about a sequel to the movie, but Cameron got busy with one of his other hits - The Titanic. However, he managed to write a screenplay with Jeff Eastin for True Lies' sequel, and Schwarzenegger was ready to feature in it.

But things changed as Schwarzenegger got busy with the elections. After becoming the governor of California, he stalled his movie career for the time being, and the sequel never took place.

The movie has been a success for both Cameron and Schwarzenegger, laying the foundations of their careers together.
