Arnold’s greatest power was never taking himself too seriously. Confidence and humility are not antagonistic in principle, only in application, but he found a way to unit them. And we love him for it.
"Confidence and humility" etc.....Huh....?. Don't try to sound smart, you come across as pretentious and phony. No need to thank me for pointing it out and make you aware.
Fun fact: When Cameron was casting Arnold for Terminator, Arnold wanted to be the hero. However, he spent the entire meeting talking to Cameron about how a robot should act on film; how they should reload without looking at guns, how they should move, etc. He was raving about the performance of Yul Brenner in Westworld (the 1970s one). After that, Cameron went through great effort to convince him that he shouldn't play the hero, but the villain and won him over promising the villain would be the most iconic and memorable thing about the film. Arnold would eventually convince him to play the hero, but still a Terminator, leading to T2. Arnold really wasn't just an actor on those films, he was there from the very genesis of the character.
Everyone thought he didn't stand a chance but when he showed his depth (playing an emotionless machine I will add ) he took off Priceless storytelling Epic fairytale
That's amazing, I had no idea despite T1+2 possibly being my favourite movies of all time. Certainly both in the top 5, so I've read and seen a ton of stuff about them. Cheers for the interesting info. Cheers
You do not have to mention that Westworld featuring Yul Brynner* is from the 1970s. YB died in 1985, so he could not have been part of the 2010s HBO series.

I was Archival Researcher for the Arnold series, and this review had me in stitches! 😅 I'm glad to see that the work we put in has shown a bit of light on who Arnold is, and what he did as a man to be successful. Its a message that needs to be repeated over and over again.
I watched all three parts in one go. You did a great job. I mainly wanted to see how Arnold’s strategic thinking and personality got him to where he is and how he handled some situations that came up. I think one key takeaway from this particular story is that he didn’t pass up the opportunity in real estate just because he was focused on something else, and that having brash determination can be more important/effective than worrying about every situation and how things go. It’s more important to be aggressive than over analyzing/hesitant and it’s kind of amazing that he went into that meeting the way he did in spite of how important becoming an actor was to him.
@@educateyourself3872 I agree...Arnold didn't just wait for success to Fall on his Laptop.. he actively sought it out, and attacked with full force when opportunity presented itself
I love all your work man! Very few youtubers bring something great to the table but you really really do. Great to see you got to do something like that.
If you look up Dydzak v. Schwarzenegger, and Dydzak v. Ronald George, there was a small problem about a missing $200 million from the California Court budget that Arnold gave to Chief Justice of the CA Supreme Court, Ronald George. That wasn't a very good run. In fact it was a bad run that hastened the demise of the California Court system to the bad joke it is today
As a fellow Austrian 🇦🇹 , what really amazes me about Arnold is - how the hell could he see himself as the biggest star on the, Planet?! You have to understand, the place where he is from (Thal in Styria) is a tiny village, and what we here in Austria tend to say about such people is that "their horizon ends at the next mountain" - which is right in front of them! (eventhough most of them are well educated, its not like they are Hillbillies - but most of them enjoy their "sinple life") 😂 But not for Arnold, he managed to get out of there right after the war, and conquer America and then the world! 😮 also, eventhough he says "Born in Austria, made in the USA", he regularly comes back to his Birth Place, and there behaves as if he never left! Completely down to earth. He he such a legend! 😄💪🏻
Great to hear, German decent, American here,dad from Germany, visiting often even though from US. Loved visiting family, this will never leave me experiencing Europe, Glad To be American, but feel like lost brother in Germany.Would like to Have been born there.
Arnold's story in the US, the way he became the hugh star he is and everything he achieved in America is the essence of the US as a country of immigrants. Since I was a kid I always heard those stories about people who came to the US with 2 dollars and became millionaires or whatever. In addition to all this, Arnold is a man that if a door closes in front of him, he'll come in thru the window. Watching this series only made me like him even more. What a legend.
@@yoeyyoey8937 It's well known he comes to Austria once or twice per year. For instance, he loves to visit the "Streif" Ski race (deadliest Ski race, but a major spectacle and event). Many people here have stories about when he just drops by and behaves as if he is just some regular local dude. He even said so in his recent Netflix show...
Bill burrs description is accurate, Arnie is a great man... all the things he accomplished!! How many life times would it take for us to do an Arnie 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤙🏽🍻🇦🇺 He's the man.
The funniest part of that doc, is when he talks about OJ Simpson not being convincing as a killer for the Terminator part and the crew losing it behind the cameras 😂😂
For years people always acted like Arnold was the dumb weight lifting but charismatic guy, but the guy is actually a freaking marketing savant. The stories of his life *before* becoming an actor are amazing. Dude really should sign off on a bio-pic while he's able to act as executive producer. Truly one of the most entertaining life stories ever. My favorite is still the "Exotic European Brick Layers" story, where he took an unsuccessful brick laying gig with guys at the gym, rebranded it and upcharged 500% then was a wild success.
You forgot to mention that he holds the world's the longest-running comic-book ad, and which ripped-off millions of ignorant children, by convincing them that "protein powder" (which turned-out to be just pure sugar, futhermore) is what grew his impressive physic.
Bill Burr, thinking Arnie’s life is cool and wishing he did it, dude, Bill Burr is one of the worlds best stand ups, plays drums, flys helicopters, and has a great podcast! For the average Joe, Bill’s life is pretty cool too!
Bill Burr once told off an entire stadium of angry pissed off people in hot weather… for 12 MINUTES. And he’s saying he can’t believe the size of Arnold’s balls ??? He’s more than humble…he’s freaking ignorant lol.
Arnold owns his mistakes in the documentary. It actually changed my opinion of him, like a lot of us as we get older we know what we did in the past and usually try to do what we can to rectify those mistakes.
That's one thing I liked about it. He owned everything, both good and bad. Don't see that much these days, especially in the narcissistic culture of Hollywood.
In his first autobiography, he admits that after losing to Frank Zane in Miami in '68, he went to his hotel room and cried all night. Then Arnold assured his fans that "this was one of the only times in my life that I have ever cried."
I love Bill Burr storytelling and I love Aronld story of how he was determined to be a successful citizen of America , Arnold Schwarzenegger did what most could never have the guts to do .
the part where these skeleton looking robots are killing women and children with machine guns with no remorse is something that's stayed on my mind even though I barely remember the rest of it
I knew there would be Izzy video on this while I was listening to today’s podcast. His accent + the visualization compelled a video. And that was quick. Doing the lords work out here.
Muhammad Ali, Bruce Lee, Arnold, Jackie Chan, Tom Cruise, Michael Jordan, Cristiano Ronaldo, I admire those guys who had the vision and the balls to see themselves up there in a podium, at the top of the world with an iron will, hard work and determination.
Carl - Good grouping of huge egos: Arnold, Jordan, Cruise Ronaldo and Ali. I would add Carrey, Madonna and Jagger to the list of successful, driven egomaniacs.
I read Arnold’s autobiography during lockdown and was genuinely taken aback by his whole extraordinary story. From abject poverty and tragedy in Austria to just crushing everything he ever turned his hand to was truly inspiring. He also completely owned his mistakes and infidelity. An extraordinary man and an incredible story.
It wasn't really abject poverty...his dad was chief of police. He was raised really strictly though and did without a lot of creature comforts like air conditioning, anesthetic for drilling teeth, and parents that didn't beat up their kids for getting bad grades.
Legit LOL.. Arnold is a very rare breed., I watched the series, it was surprising good, definitely lots of integrity there on his part. Liked how he made it very clear that none of it would have ever happened without help, and explaining that he was NOT a self made man speaks for itself. For whatever reason, he poured it out for this series, it definitely wasn't for money. I think it's fair to say that you can even look at this series like a massive thank-you as he referred to so many integral people in every episode. Watch it, it's great!
I was an Arnold fan back in the '70's when he was dominating the body building world. I remember reading about him in magazines and in one article in particular he mentioned to some body building friends that he was going to be the highest paid actor in Hollywood. They all laughed at him. The man knew himself and had incredible will and vision.
Arnold is my fav success story because as much as he had confidence in himself you can tell from the stories people like Danny DeVito tell Arnold didn’t get where he is by stepping over other people, he just worked hard and bet on himself
Bill's description of how you try to imagine yourself saying something or doing something cool, and not being able to wrap your head around it is something I def relate to. lol
That Arnold story was amazing - but somehow with Bill's retelling it's impossibly like 10 times better. I wish we get a movie with them both before the big guy passes (I doubt it but we can dream)..
@@galaxyspace76 Yea - Bill somehow plays the hype man, the second fiddle probably the best out there alive now.. He'd make a decent Robyn (though I don't like the character)... But Bill running alongside Arnold doing crazy cool shit goin crazy about how amazing everything Arnold doing would be hilarious.. I could watch a whole movie around it lol..
*Lifelong Arnold fan. I was really hoping for a far more objective/penetrating biopic than essentially a three-hour (albeit fun) promo reel. (It reminded me of the Bible-sized, preemptive, autobiography Jobs shat out to try controlling all other narratives.) Given Arnold's vast power in Hollywood and the fear (and loyalty) he inspires, we won't get a truly definitive take until he's (sadly) gone.*
Comedian Joe list tweeted he didn't know his father was a nazi and wish they'd covered it more that 2minutes in the doc. He got hammered by people on Twitter. Saying how could you want to hear about that and blah blah. Joe basically said because it sounds interesting!
@@ImRanchWilder _Exactly._ I'm certainly not seeking a "hit piece" but I wish he'd have the courage (and trust in his fans) to present a more objective, fleshed-out, narrative ... including his toughest critics' perspective. He'd still be a personal hero. But simply an even _more_ compelling one.
Cheated on wife, took steroids, pretended to fill in pot holes as a publicity stunt, man's a pure blooded narcissist, I agree we won't the truth till way after
I'm convinced guys like Pacino and Arnold were just characters even before being actors so they decided why not be an actor in the movie? Al Pacino used to talk about how he one they looked into these mirrors(I donno if its called a three quarter mirror or what)that shows you from 3 or 4 different angles and he thought he looks cool so he decided to be an actor, but its not just Narcissism, they knew they can play certain characters well
I agree with Bill Burr. This documentary was extremely inspiring. This man succeeded in becoming big in 3 completely different areas. Respect to both Arnold and Bill for always being themselves!!
Was the man. Last terminator he was a feminist. He said "fuck your freedom" He has the skulls on his finger and belt. Same as skull and bones. I looked up to him when I was young and clueless. Of course he has an amazing career.
Not role models for men as much as role models for guys that want to be action stars. None of those listed are particularly honorable guys but they have been immensely entertaining over the years.
@@dexterwestin3747 they are role models , came from nothing to most famous and succesfull , worked hard , belived in themselfs , had goals they reached , kept in shape and stayed healthy , are respectfull and nice people , made mistakes and did overcome them , strong and good people
I saw that interview. It was to promote The Terminator so Carson played the clip of "I'll be back" at the police station. I knew I had to see that movie!
I'm a 57-year-old middle-aged man that grew up during the early 1970s thru the 1980s. I knew of Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was just the athlete Mr. Universe. This was during his first movie Hercules Goes Bananas in the early 1970s. By the late 1970s, I was playing POP WARNER Football and lifting weights, and trying to get buffed so I became a fan of his. So were all of my jock homies as well! Then came another Mr.Universe title, and CONAN THE BARBARIAN, THE TERMINATOR, PREDATOR, and the Governor of California. Arnold was a childhood hero of mine. And the dude blew up!
Arnold went into the meeting believing that he is Conan the Barbarian come alive. What would Conan say in that meeting? “Why does such a small man have such a big desk?”
That little man was Dino De Laurentiis: producer of Dune, Flash Gordon, Barbarella and of course Conan. Great film producer. I think he was notoriously hard to work with himself. Lolol!
I loved this doc. I found the first episode especially fascinating. I knew very little about Arnold’s early life and it’s a great little history of both body building and postwar America and especially postwar Austria. Arnold might be the most fascinating man ever
I agree , Arnold has had the most incredible career , can't take anything away from him . Self belief , hard work , determination . Seems whatever career he chose to take , he made sure it was a success . The man practically created the action movie genre , those roles were made for him , when you saw the things he did in the movies , you believed he could actually do them because he was so awesome . He created the market for hummers as a domestic vehicle . Arnold deserves all the success he has worked for .
The don’t give a fuck thing because he leaned towards responses that are more amusing to him is a type of European man. My Norweigen uncle is like that but even heavier on the jokes
And not only that, he still has THE tank that he drove in the army. Periodically he'll take it out, and for charity, the winner gets to be a passenger in the tank when Arnold drives it over old cars. And Arnold matches the donations made to the charity. Fantastic !
Arnold more or less knew he had the roll but he knew the producer thought he was a dumb body builder who could be pushed around. Arnold is an insanely nice person. Arnold went up there and went Conan the barbarian on him. The producer got pissed off and started screaming at other Hollywood executives telling them what Arnold did. They realized Arnold was straight up intimidating the producer physically and mentally which worked in Arnold's favor to seal the job plus they kind of hated the producer so having Arnold on the film was a jab at him. The producer saw the daily shots, realized Arnold was full into and training like a body builder to be an actor and that Arnold was in barbarian mode when he met him. He ended up helping Arnold get terminator.
I maintain that Bill Burr’s bit about Arnold in that old special is what directly led to the Arnold doc on Netflix
"You know how many tries at life it would take to do the run that Arnold did?!"
I will second that. The way he distilled his accomplishments down in that bit really highlighted how impressive of a human being he is.
I thought the same thing as I was watching it

Michel Biehn/Kyle Reece made The Terminator memorable. Arnold owes Biehn a lot of gratitude.
Last Action Hero with Arnold lampooning himself… it’s one of my favorite movies of any genre.
He wouldn't of known it was lampooning though 😂

It blows my mind how people shit on that movie and Arnold doesn’t even like it now, it was fuckin great! Hilarious
I love that film…I didn’t like it when it first came out but now I think it’s great
People weren't ready for it back then...
Arnold also had the advantage of knowing what he wanted. I'm 39 and I still have no idea.

Bill Burr HIMSELF is a legend so watching one legend be so amazed by another is some wild stuff.....
Arnold broke EVER rule set in front of him and loved every second doing it!! 🐐
Arnold is the definition of the word Legend.
Bill's description of how you try to imagine yourself saying something or doing something cool, and not being able to wrap your head around it is something I def relate to. lol
Bill burrs Arnold joke in his special is one of my favorite bits of all time.
Love his Arnie voice, he makes fun of him, but clearly loves him.
I don't know why I keep watching this everytime it comes up on my feed. I just love Bill gushing over my hero. ❤
I had no idea Arnold was already a millionaire and Bill could do a great Columbo.
That Arnold story was amazing - but somehow with Bill's retelling it's impossibly like 10 times better. I wish we get a movie with them both before the big guy passes (I doubt it but we can dream)..
His arnold accent always gets a laugh out of me 😂😂
damn thats a good idea 🤣thatd be hilarious
@@galaxyspace76 Yea - Bill somehow plays the hype man, the second fiddle probably the best out there alive now.. He'd make a decent Robyn (though I don't like the character)... But Bill running alongside Arnold doing crazy cool shit goin crazy about how amazing everything Arnold doing would be hilarious.. I could watch a whole movie around it lol..
*Lifelong Arnold fan. I was really hoping for a far more objective/penetrating biopic than essentially a three-hour (albeit fun) promo reel. (It reminded me of the Bible-sized, preemptive, autobiography Jobs shat out to try controlling all other narratives.) Given Arnold's vast power in Hollywood and the fear (and loyalty) he inspires, we won't get a truly definitive take until he's (sadly) gone.*
Comedian Joe list tweeted he didn't know his father was a nazi and wish they'd covered it more that 2minutes in the doc. He got hammered by people on Twitter. Saying how could you want to hear about that and blah blah. Joe basically said because it sounds interesting!
@@ImRanchWilder _Exactly._ I'm certainly not seeking a "hit piece" but I wish he'd have the courage (and trust in his fans) to present a more objective, fleshed-out, narrative ... including his toughest critics' perspective. He'd still be a personal hero. But simply an even _more_ compelling one.
Sadly, celebrities control it anymore and only want puff pieces
Cheated on wife, took steroids, pretended to fill in pot holes as a publicity stunt, man's a pure blooded narcissist, I agree we won't the truth till way after
Arnold still has a huge ego and a legacy to protect, that was never gonna happen.
I'm convinced guys like Pacino and Arnold were just characters even before being actors so they decided why not be an actor in the movie? Al Pacino used to talk about how he one they looked into these mirrors(I donno if its called a three quarter mirror or what)that shows you from 3 or 4 different angles and he thought he looks cool so he decided to be an actor, but its not just Narcissism, they knew they can play certain characters well
I can’t stop laughing at this!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
I agree with Bill Burr. This documentary was extremely inspiring. This man succeeded in becoming big in 3 completely different areas. Respect to both Arnold and Bill for always being themselves!!
That's a pretty good Peter Falk impression
I always look forward to these videos
Thanks for the review Bill. This is making me want to watch it, here in the Netherlands. I'm all hyped man, we're gonna watch it this weekend. Hahaha.
The man is a fuckin living legend!
Arnold is the man!
Was the man.
Last terminator he was a feminist.
He said "fuck your freedom"
He has the skulls on his finger and belt.
Same as skull and bones.
I looked up to him when I was young and clueless.
Of course he has an amazing career.
arnold , stallone , van damme , jackie chan , a generation of role models for men and real stars
Definitely it will never be like that again. Absolute mega stars
Schwarzenegger*,* Stallone, van Damme*,* Chan* - be consistent, either first names or last names only
@einundsiebenziger5488 what are you gonna do about it brother
Not role models for men as much as role models for guys that want to be action stars. None of those listed are particularly honorable guys but they have been immensely entertaining over the years.
@@dexterwestin3747 they are role models , came from nothing to most famous and succesfull , worked hard , belived in themselfs , had goals they reached , kept in shape and stayed healthy , are respectfull and nice people , made mistakes and did overcome them , strong and good people
He was interviewed on Jonny Carson and he said he wanted to be a famous actor and then be a governor. Everyone snickered at him!
I saw that interview. It was to promote The Terminator so Carson played the clip of "I'll be back" at the police station. I knew I had to see that movie!
What a great critique Bill gives here! I felt the same way! - The Acting part was the best!!
It truly was an inspiring Doc series!
You were probably champing at the bit to sprinkle some McBane clips into this one 😂 beautiful work
I gained a new respect for Arnold from watching this!
ThankYouSir🙏For making me use the very BOTTOM of my lungs-today!🤣📢" Little Man/Big Desk"🤣📢
He remembered everything
I know a guy exactly like this. No bullshit they are describing my friend and I cannot help but laugh during this entire documentary. 😂
I'm a 57-year-old middle-aged man that grew up during the early 1970s thru the 1980s. I knew of Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was just the athlete Mr. Universe. This was during his first movie Hercules Goes Bananas in the early 1970s.
By the late 1970s, I was playing POP WARNER Football and lifting weights, and trying to get buffed so I became a fan of his. So were all of my jock homies as well! Then came another Mr.Universe title, and CONAN THE BARBARIAN, THE TERMINATOR, PREDATOR, and the Governor of California.
Arnold was a childhood hero of mine. And the dude blew up!
He backed himself all the way. Credit to him 😂🎉
Arnold was my inspiration since I was kid... my childhood hero❤
I grew up on comic books, when I Saw Arnold for the first time, I knew he came straight out of a comic book...💯AWESOME💪👍
Arnold went into the meeting believing that he is Conan the Barbarian come alive.
What would Conan say in that meeting?
“Why does such a small man have such a big desk?”
That little man was Dino De Laurentiis: producer of Dune, Flash Gordon, Barbarella and of course Conan.
Great film producer. I think he was notoriously hard to work with himself. Lolol!
I finished watching the 1st episode. Great stuff.
LOL. I had to pause this halfway because this made me want to watch the documentary.
Out of all the roles arnold was in, his own story is bar far the most intersting
I finished watching that documentary a couple weeks ago and it was very good like Bill said. Inspiring and an amazing journey.
Honestly I no excuse to not work out after watching that. Very motivational doc.
I loved this doc. I found the first episode especially fascinating. I knew very little about Arnold’s early life and it’s a great little history of both body building and postwar America and especially postwar Austria. Arnold might be the most fascinating man ever
Bill burr is my spirit animal 😂😂😂😂😂
Awesome vid, damn you’re fast 😂
Idea for a show: Bill Burr and Arnold do a road trip through Asia. We follow their adventures.
The maid liked his accent.
And tone of other women too.
Great documentary.
Bill Burr is hilarious!! 😂😂
Awesome edit Izzy...keep the Billy B rollin!
I never knew he was a tank driver, and I never knew the line was supposed to be "I'll come back" 😅
And now he actually owns that very tank he was driving in the army.
Bill Burr. The best stand up comedian since George Carlin (RIP). BILL has a great take on people. From a perspective that we may not necessarily see.
I agree , Arnold has had the most incredible career , can't take anything away from him . Self belief , hard work , determination . Seems whatever career he chose to take , he made sure it was a success . The man practically created the action movie genre , those roles were made for him , when you saw the things he did in the movies , you believed he could actually do them because he was so awesome . He created the market for hummers as a domestic vehicle . Arnold deserves all the success he has worked for .
5:38 Nice Peter Falk impression. Now I have to hear Burr yell "Serpentine!" in his Peter Falk
The don’t give a fuck thing because he leaned towards responses that are more amusing to him is a type of European man. My Norweigen uncle is like that but even heavier on the jokes
This guy has been in the zone for over four decades!
And not only that, he still has THE tank that he drove in the army. Periodically he'll take it out, and for charity, the winner gets to be a passenger in the tank when Arnold drives it over old cars. And Arnold matches the donations made to the charity. Fantastic !
his hamlet joke thing in Last Action Hero rules
i love that movie
"Im the famous comedian, Arnold Brownshwagger"
This is why Arnold is the greatest
Just Like Steve McQueen, May He R.I.P.
Arnold more or less knew he had the roll but he knew the producer thought he was a dumb body builder who could be pushed around. Arnold is an insanely nice person. Arnold went up there and went Conan the barbarian on him. The producer got pissed off and started screaming at other Hollywood executives telling them what Arnold did.
They realized Arnold was straight up intimidating the producer physically and mentally which worked in Arnold's favor to seal the job plus they kind of hated the producer so having Arnold on the film was a jab at him.
The producer saw the daily shots, realized Arnold was full into and training like a body builder to be an actor and that Arnold was in barbarian mode when he met him. He ended up helping Arnold get terminator.
Vision. Clear vision, luck and discipline, and HARD WORK. He is my hero.
The fact that Bill Burr doesn't know who Dino De Laurentis is baffles me
Love Arnold. Love the Narrator. Thanks Bill! Thanks Arnold!
We just need more voice overs by bill in general 😊😊
“I didn’t have to take bullshit roles”
Stars in Hercules in New York
Arnold: "Aarrgghh! Yargh! Uarghh! Bowargh!"
So inspiring.
Uncanny impersonation right there…
I wonder if Arnold talks about his ties to the SS Naz1z and international investment banking predators in this documentary, if so, it's a must see.
