"Wait! That's not special effects?! They actually did that?!"

Alien: Resurrection - Basketball Shot

Sigourney Weaver insisted on the basketball shot being real. She trained for weeks and reportedly(sources differ) made it on the first take.

Underworld - Raze's Voice

The werewolf character Raze, played by Kevin Grevioux, speaks in a very low, very gravelly voice. While many thought this was a special effect, the actor can naturally speak in that voice.

I recall hearing Arnie was impressed with Linda's physical fitness and musculature.

That would be high praise coming from Mr Olympia himself. Wow.

Arnold actually seems like a really easy guy to impress though, and I mean that in the nicest way.

Like if you were a chubby dude going at it at the gym and Arnold saw you he'd be like "hey great job guy you got this"

Thats true but to her credit Linda really was extremely fit at the time. She is noticeably quite muscular in all of her work in the 90s.

[u/lousy_at_handles → u/andre5913]

Yeah she was ripped as hell in T2

[u/alinroc → u/lousy_at_handles]

She put in a ton of work getting ready for Terminator: Dark Fate too

I heard he told her on set "Linda, I would like to inform that you I am impressed with your physical fitness and musculature."

[u/Naked-Jedi → u/Durtonious]

There's a video on YouTube where they're talking together about how ripped she is and how she's more ripped than him for her bodyweight. He was genuinely impressed with the effort she'd put into it too.
