True Lies, one of Arnold’s biggest box-office success, was released twenty-eight years ago this week. Arnold's co-star, Jamie Lee Curtis, shared a story that happened behind-the-scenes. Jamie, a.k.a. Helen Tasker, shared on Facebook one of the famous scenes where she is hanging on to Arnold, who is hanging off the helicopter. You all can remember “The bridge is OUUUT,” which was filmed in Florida on the Seven Mile Bridge. As quoted from Jamie Lee Curtis: "Since I will never write a book and today is the 28th anniversary of TRUE LIES being released, I thought I would share this picture. This was three days before my 35th birthday. We were doing the sequence where Helen is in the runaway limousine and Harry is flying above her in the helicopter. Obviously I did a bunch of it on the road but so did my stunt double, Donna Keegan. The stunt itself of course was one of the most spectacular ever done and Donna deserves all of that credit but we did need a shot of me post being pulled out of the limousine over the burning wreckage. In order to get the shot we had to wire me to the helicopter at base camp and then fly for 20 minutes over the water to get to the 7 mile bridge where the wreckage took place."





Tia Carrere, who played Juno, tells Yahoo News that she was Arnold’s most dangerous stunt. James Cameron knew Arnold had to perform the Tango with her and was worried he’d never pull off such a graceful dance. Tia was worried about being stepped on. "He did step on my toes,” Tia revealed. However, she admits that Arnold pulled off the dance “stunt” very well. "He has great posture, and that's all you really need.”
