WELCOME!

Everyone knows Arnold Schwarzenegger is a badass, and everyone knows he does a ton of badass things in each movie he’s in. This is a blog dedicated to listing each and every single badass thing he does as each character in each movie. Eventually, I hope to have badass summaries of every Arnold feature film uploaded.

The “*” notation indicates that the action selected has a running occurrence in multiple Arnold movies.

NOTE: The use of the above picture does not support/endorse the listening of anything done by Tim Lambesis. As far as I’m concerned, it’s simply a badass picture of Arnold done by one of the greatest Thrash album cover artists ever, Ed Repka.TerminatorFiles

Completely awesome Terminator source! Probably the best there is.

Update 4-13-09

I added and reformatted some of the pictures on the Badass Levels/Characters page.
