True Lies, clearly 1994 was such an epic time for film making.What made this movie great? Well Arnold and Tom. Among others, yes.Great pair and thinking back, highly interesting film.My next idea or thought would be. Since it was clearly, a success. Why not a sequel? Answer? Just didn't think about a sequel. Too good a' film to ruin with a possible sequel. This movie still today blows all minds.Possibly True Lies II, like Last Action Hero-like epic film.Arnold & Tom certainly would be our honor to witness this pair & this sequel once again. The best part about this movie is however it turns out on paper and on-screen it will certainly succeed as a blockbuster.More high-speed driving with Arnold & Tom behind the wheel. Not to mention that Harrier scene was intense. Maybe a bit of Super- Secret-Agent scuba diving for lost at sea Top secret weapon. From which is to be investigated and found by Arnold & Tom. As they proceed to search for this weapon, they just so happen to run across others who happen to be searching as well. At which point Secret Agent, Arnold discontinues the search and rescue weapon. Then proceeds to see what this other entity wishes to do with such a weapon. Where they find they plan to use the weapon not for it's power of destruction but to utilization it's technology to build a highly scientific research development project. Where it's special and specific technologies can be used to build some sort of space device. This "other" entity is not of a specific country per-say but rather it's own operation and entity for exploration.However Arnold & Tom had to succeed on their mission to return the device for safety sake, as their was a flaw they later found that would cause great destruction if not handled correctly. The story can be filled in from there but it would be, not your typical plot and very unpredictable as this other entity isn't "bad" in nature. Just taking it upon themselves to research beyond government allowance. From a research/ scientific approach rather than for a "bad" reason.Everything else can be filled in but it would be amazing to see another performance of this pair.*** --==True Lies II ==--** (December 2018?) haha ;)

He chases another guy who's on a motorbike, whilst riding a horse.This then continues through a restaurant/bar and into a set of lifts embedded within an office building, ultimately resulting in a roof jump.What's not to like?

In effect, True Lies features every aspect you should expect from a Schwarzenegger film. The manic action sequences, extravagant special effects and strong doses of humour throughout. Where the film differs is in its audacity and creativity when pulling off the more overblown set-pieces and by being helmed by a director who is a master of action in the form of James Cameron. This is clearly Cameron's most relaxed and purely entertainment based film, something that makes it greatly accessible but lacking in the punch of his better works.It follows Harry Tasker, a top U.S spy who has successfully fooled his wife Helen into thinking that he is a computer salesman. Why she isn't suspicious of all the times he comes home late we'll never know. For the first and final thirds of the film Harry and his team are tracking an antiques dealer who has links to a terrorist group who they believe are sneaking weapons into the country. It's pretty much as basic a spy plot as you can get but it's perfectly serviceable for a film like this. Schwarzenegger is enjoyable here. He'd played these type of roles so much by this point that he slips into it with ease. It's also the closest we'll coming to seeing Arnie playing James Bond so that's something else I suppose. Tom Arnold also deserves credit as Arnie's partner Gib, providing a lot wisecracks and sarcasm that make him a fun foil.The films entire second act is what really sets the story apart. Harry believes his wife is having an affair with slimy car salesman Simon (brilliantly played by Bill Paxton) who is pretending to be a spy to add some excitement. Harry then cooks up the idea of having his wife complete an ''assignment''. This leads to a really strange sequence where Helen does a striptease and dances in front of him in a hotel suite. Firstly, how can she not tell it's him? Secondly, the entire scene is unpleasant when you take a step back. I understand Harry wanting to get some kind of revenge on his wife, but to degrade her like he does just feels wrong. Jamie Lee Curtis excels in these moments of physical comedy and the natural comedy that comes from her interactions with Paxton are very amusing, yet the eventual payoff ends up feeling forced and unnecessary to the plot. As you'd expect the action is wonderfully stylised and unrestrained in all the right areas. Take for instance the best action scene which involves Harry on a horse pursuing the head terrorist on a motorbike and the way in which the scene works is how it just keeps building. First they chase through a park, then a hotel lobby, then get elevators to the roof, where the terrorist escapes via free fall into a swimming pool and Arnie's horse refuses to follow in a funny payoff. There are no lengths the film won't got to in order to provide the most excitement it can. The climax is similar. At one point it features Arnie flying a jet with his daughter clinging onto the cockpit and the terrorist dangling from a missile. It's bordering on ridiculous. Yet one of the films strengths is that it knows these situations are far-fetched and it clearly has fun in seeing how far it can go.James Cameron's direction is as smooth as ever and there are not many directors who are as competent when it comes to action as he is. Cameron also wrote the screenplay which is fun and well-paced yet certainly lacking in something extra. Even though I enjoy the first the two-thirds of the film, the weird payoffs in all, the final act does feel a little contrived and the film loses a lot of steam as a result. The strength of the writing is definitely in the films humour. It mostly keeps its tone light and playful, leading to plenty of good one-liners and interaction, especially between Harry and his team. Elsewhere, Brad Fiedel provides a brilliant score, brimming with excitement and energy that fit the films tone perfectly. It's a nice move away from the more atmospheric work of his previous scores.True Lies doesn't quite hit the heights of much of either Cameron's or Schwarzenegger's other works, partly because of its simply trying to be fun entertainment and partly because of the limitations in its plotting. The plot itself is too simplistic for it to ever be that gripping and the tonal shifts do frequently feel unwarranted. Its approach is both an asset and a hindrance as a result. Yet, when it comes to big action, comedy and effects then you'll struggle to do better than here. When the film sticks to its strengths it is undeniable fun.

True Lies is amazing great characters played by great actors, awesome effects, cool action scenes and overall a classic Schwarzenegger movie with some cool one liners also like 'Give me the goddamn page'. And probably the most memorable striptease scene ever by Jamie Lee Curtis. The bad guy is good he is not as great as Bennett, the Predator or The T-1000 but he is still a good funny villain the film is basically an action comedy movie and the 2nd underrated most underrated Cameron film after The Abyss. This film needs a higher rating here in IMDb and on Rotten Tomatoes maybe a 8.1 or a 8.3 and a 84% or an 88% on RT. If you are a Jim Cameron fan and an Arnold Schwarzenegger fan you gonna love this movie.
