If Arnold Schwartzenegger had played Jesus in The Passion, would his last words have been "I'll be back"?

[Setekh]

That would have been strangely apt... apart from the whole Arnold Schwartzenegger playing Jesus bit.

Stu, that was bad, but it reminds me of an improv show I saw last night. The topic was 'worst things to say when you're ice skating'.  The guy walks out on the ice and looks back toward his buddies and says, "Hey! Bob! I'm Jesus!"

That's taken (the "I'll be back" bit) directly from the MTV Terminator 3 clip.

[Stunaep]

And here I was thinking "I'll be back" was referring to the three Terminator movies. Go figure

YOU BLASPHEMOUS ABOMINATION!

[Sandwich]

Oy. You guys. The MAD TV, sorry. Anyway, it was a cross between Jesus and Terminator. The Arnold stand-in said at the end of the clip, when Jesus was being led away to be crucified, "He'll be back", hence my comment.

It would have made for a better movie.

[Sandwich]

Better than T3? That's not that hard. :-/

No. Arnie as Christ.

*imagines Arnie flexing his muscles, shattering the nails, having them fragment and explode, sending shrapnel into all his enemies*

*Imagines Arnie, after saving the day yet again, going down on Mary Magdeline*

It's kinda funny how people don't realize that the historical Jesus was actually buff since he spent almost 30 years of his life dragging around lumber as a carpenter.

[Knight Templar]

That doesn't necesarily make him overly muscular or anything. Fit/Trim/Lean perhaps. I think the bigger oversite is Jesus as stereotypical Western European White vs. coloured, if at least somewhat.

Actually, considering the amount of woodwork done in those days (next to nothing), he was probably a stone mason, not a carpenter. "Carpenter" is just an assumption of a bad translation.

[ChronoReverse]

Maybe, but that doesn't reduce the amount of work he'd have to do methinks.


BTW, why would there be less wood working required back then?

[WMCoolmon]

All the legislation forbidding use of the rainforests in Egypt and the middle East for lumber severely hampered the woodworking business.

[Liberator]

Primarily because of the cost of nails and the other assorted joining materials.  It would've been cheaper to carve the structures and stuff from stone, almost the exact opposite of today where stonework is considered extravagant and only for the rich.
