Hey Paul,
A few of the comments about Herc's sudden and abrupt departure from his new Earth buddy Pretsi are pretty spot on, as it turns out there was a farewell scene that was shot between Stang and Schwarzenneger, which was cut out of the film. I learned this and a bunch of other tidbits about the filming from Arnold's Autobioagaphy "Total Recall" Check out this excerpt:
"On the second-to-last day, I finally felt it, what acting is about.
We were shooting a sentimental scene where Hercules and Pretzie are saying good-bye. I really got into it, just like they always talk about in acting. The director came over afterward and said, "I got goose bumps when you did that."
Big Arnold fan, huge fan of the podcast too. Thanks for doing this movie.
