82 Best Arnold Schwarzenegger Quotes and One-Liners https://nextluxury.com/entertainment/arnold-schwarzenegger-quotes/ Mon, 22 May 2023 21:00:30 +0000 https://nextluxury.com/?p=299909 …]]> When it comes to action stars they don’t get any bigger than Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arguably the greatest bodybuilder of all time, Schwarzenegger has starred in huge blockbusters such as The Terminator, Predator, True Lies, and Conan the Barbarian in a career spanning over four decades. While the Austrian Oak has been through his fair share of hardships, he’s been a massive success in Hollywood, wowing audiences in all manner of movies thanks to insane action scenes, his comedic timing, and hilarious Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes and one-liners that have come to define his movies. 

Born in Austria, the hulking Schwarzenegger immigrated to Los Angeles in the United States in 1968 and became a bodybuilding champion, winning the Mr Olympia title seven times while also being named Mr Universe. Not content with being one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time, muscle guy Schwarzenegger set his sights on Hollywood where he established himself as an action star, trading in the workout and fitness world for one in front of the camera. 

Although it took almost ten years for Arnie to break through, his hard work paid off, with Schwarzenegger’s starring role as the Terminator, a killing machine sent from the future to kill Sarah Connor, the mother of the resistance leader John Connor, earning him high praise from critics and fans alike. This led to a string of action roles that cemented Schwarzenegger as one of the most bankable actors of that generation. Throughout the 80s and 90s, Schwarzenegger and his biggest rival, Sylvester Stallone, competed for the title of the world’s biggest action hero, with many believing this was another title Arnie won by the time he left acting for politics. 

At the peak of his powers, Schwarzenegger retired from acting and entered politics. His unbelievably true life story continued to make waves when Arnie was elected the Governor of California in 2003. He served two terms in office before leaving in 2011 and restarting his movie career.

Schwarzenegger gave a new meaning to the phrase “celebrity politician,” and while he had many big ideas he tried to implement, he quickly discovered just how tough public service life can be. While elected with a high approval rate, when he left office Schwarzenegger sadly had the second-lowest approval rating in Californian history. 

While some might question his acting abilities, there is no doubt Schwarzenegger has a presence on screen. Physically imposing, he also has a certain movie star charm that shines through, especially when he’s delivering classic one-liners or quips. These lines of dialogue are often used for comedic effect or to emphasize what is happening on screen or the actions of certain characters. They are especially popular in big-budget action movies, with Schwarzenegger delivering some of the best throughout his career.  

But it’s just not on the big screen where Schwarzenegger excels with famous one-liners, with the positive thinking practitioner also delivering many inspirational quotes in the real world. Whether speaking about climate change, giving motivation to other actors, handing out bodybuilding tips, or sharing his advice on how to overcome hardship in life, Arnie has a wealth of fantastic quotes, one-liners, and speeches he’s given over the years. 

With the underrated Last Action Hero celebrating its 30-year anniversary in 2023, we thought there was no better time than now to dive into some of Arnie’s best movie one-liners, motivational quotes, comedic quips, and helpful tips, that have become part of modern-day pop culture.

140 Iconic Star Wars Quotes From the Skywalker Saga https://nextluxury.com/entertainment/star-wars-quotes/ Thu, 04 May 2023 21:00:26 +0000 https://nextluxury.com/?p=298821 …]]> When it comes to legendary movie franchises, they don’t get any bigger or better than Star Wars. In a galaxy far, far away, George Lucas came up with the greatest space opera of all time, Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, the electrifying first movie in what would become the original Star Wars trilogy. Released in 1977, the movie captivated audiences around the world with its epic space battles, unforgettable characters, timeless storytelling, and endless Star Wars quotes. 

A New Hope spawned two massively successful sequels, Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi, turned Mark Hamil, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher into megastars, and spawned a franchise that is still going strong over 45 years later. There have been a prequel and sequel trilogy, stand-alone movies, and a host of TV shows – both animated and live-action – that have kept Star Wars fans happy over the journey. If that’s not enough, there are books, comics, toys, video games, and a whole host of other merchandise that’s associated with the franchise. 

While the unique characters, intriguing stories, and space battles are at the core of the series, one aspect of Star Wars that has become particularly iconic is its collection of memorable quotes. Whether it’s wise words from Jedi Masters, evil commands from the Emperor, or the witty banter between Han Solo and Chewbacca, Star Wars quotes have found their way into popular culture and continue to inspire fans today. It doesn’t matter if you are a die-hard fan or a casual viewer who enjoys the Disney+ shows, it’s hard to deny the impact Star Wars quotes have had on pop culture.

So grab your lightsabre, channel the Force, and prepare to take on the most famous and iconic Star Wars quotes from the three trilogies.
