Arnold Schwarzenegger talking about being in awe of Wilt Chamberlain's strength

Get to da chopper

Lol I heard that many times as I was falling asleep last night with TV on.

Must've been on predator.

I ain't got time to bleed

Predator is such a good movie, its a cliche to say, but they really aint making films like they did, nowadyas, all that jungle would be blue screen stage and CGI. Even Peter Jackson scrapped all he did with LOTR and went blue screen studio with the hobbit.
Not to mention the characers. It is basically a slasher movie, but instead of helpless teens it is squad of manliest commandos ever put tohether, being hunted down.

crazy to see their initial idea for the monster and that suit, good job they figured that wouldn't work, Predator look became iconic.

P.S. I kinda lIked Adrien Brody movie, I think it was pretty good. Alse the last one with female native american was very good. Nowadays I watch like 1 new movie per few years, but I watched that, it was great. Alien vs Predator requiem is one of the biggest pieces of *** I have ever seen.

Why would it be hard to believe that Andre and Wilt couldn't lift Arnold without him jumping first? Arnold was probably around 230 lbs at the time; not too difficult for men the size of Wilt and Andre to lift him at one arm apiece. Mass scales up with height; it would be like two 6-foot-tall guys lifting a child.

the way wilt's strength is described by arnold (and others) is that he could easily lift him up as a dead weight, which i don't think is realistic. i don't think the photo of them holding arnold up is proof of anything. they could both together definitely lift him, it's the ease at which it is claimed they could do so that i have an issue with. just watch strong men lifting 250 pound stones. and a human body is even more unwieldy than that.

Do you really think Arnold is in on a grand conspiracy to exaggerate Wilt's strength to the public?

it's not a conspiracy, it's just an old man telling stories and embellishing a mythological figure. lots of old men do that.

Never watched expendables movies. I have seen very very few movies in General, starting from like year 2002... Nowadays I was just keeping up with MARVEL movies, I was a big fan of MCU, but like many casuals, I dropped off after Endgame, seen Guardians 3, seen new Spiderman and I have seen Multiverse of madness, all 3 movies I liked, but I just lost passion.

Many years ago, most probably do not remember, my avatar was Alfred Hitchcock's face... I am a big Hitchcock fan, but I do not pretend to be cinema snob at all. My favorite movie ever is Brandon Fraziers Mummy and thats it, I am not ashamed of it.

Im like the only guy in my circle who really liked The Mummy 1 and 2.

No shame in that at all. Those are great movies.

Wilt vs Shaq matchups would have been the stuff of legends if they ever got to play against each other in their primes. Probably the #1 matchup I would want to see between any two prime players throughout history.

That is not inconceivable strength at all for a giant
