I honestly had no idea this happened. Imagine martial arts Predator doing leg splits while going after Arnold.

That was why he was canned. He couldn’t imagine not being the central part of the film.

I mean the name of the movie is 'PREDATOR', not 'Dutch'..

Schwarzi? I'm pretty sure he's Austrian not Dutch. (Thanks for the clarification though).

It’s like the Pennsylvania Dutch, it’s the anglicized transliteration of the German word for for German “Deutsch” it was a name used to refer to German immigrants by Americans
