Arnold Schwarzenegger must like big butts, because he cannot lie. When he told us he would be back all those years ago, he wasn’t kidding. The Governator’s return to the world of movies may not have been as successful (at least commercially) as he may have hoped, but those were all with new movies and not the characters that made …
