The Most Memorable Quotes From Your Favorite 1980s Movie

The Terminator (1984)

“I’ll be back.” – The Terminator

This iconic line almost didn’t make it into the film! Due to his thick accent, Arnold Schwarzenegger had trouble pronouncing the ‘I’ll’ – even asking director James Cameron if he could change it. Thankfully, he practiced over several takes and the rest is, quite literally, history.

Since then, the catchphrase has appeared in each Terminator film and even appeared in Schwarzenegger’s other films. It has become synonymous with the actor and has a rightful place in cinematic history and popular culture.
