Has to be sly because I believe Arnie is a communist!

I think you might be slightly confused about Austrian history

 

Speaking of which, I heard a story that might possibly be true. On the original Terminator he requested to do the dubbing for the German market as it's worth a fair bit of extra cash and he wanted his voice used in his homeland. However, his accent is rural Austrian which meant that the robot from the future would basically sound like a member of the Wurzels to German ears. Obviously he was politely declined but thrown a bit of extra cash in compensation. Kind of amusing to think that Terminator & Conan sound like bumpkins to their countrymen

Its like when David "I've got a brand new combine harvester" Prowse was pissed off when they dubbed over him with James Earl Jones for Darth Vaders voice.

 

Bill Bailey did a great bit on it, saying things like "ho ho, the force is strong with this'un".
