The Arnold Schwarzenegger-starred action/thriller The Terminator recently celebrated the 35th anniversary of its original theatrical release. To mark the occasion, Schwarzenegger himself has shared some behind-the-scenes photos from his own personal collection.

The former Governor of California posted the images to the r/movies subreddit using his official Reddit account. "A journalist just reminded me that today is the 35th anniversary of the release, so I asked my archivist to find some of the photos in my albums so I could share with you guys," Schwarzenegger wrote in the comments. "Looking back at this, I realize they were always brutalizing me and making me as ugly as possible."

To Schwarzenegger's point, most of the photos -- which can be seen below -- place an emphasis on the makeup work, which was used to make the actor's character look wounded and bloody. However, there is also an addition photo which sees a smiling Arnie standing beside a cardboard cutout of himself.

Elsewhere in the comics, Schwarzenegger was asked if he had any idea how big a deal The Terminator would become when they were first filming it. "None of us did!" he replied. "I also didn’t know I’ll be back would be such a big line. Jim was right to force me to say it his way instead of 'I will be back.'"
