ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER knows his fan-base like the back of his hand.
Originally posted on Friday in an effort to promote his testosterone-laden film “Escape Plan”, the 66-year-old former governor took to Reddit to reach out to the action movie-loving public and take a few requests from the Internet forum.
“Whenever I go to an event, someone asks me to yell out one of my lines. Even when I walk into Starbucks, people scream at me to ‘Get to the choppa’,’’ said the five-time Mr Universe.

“I thought it would be fun to offer myself to yell out all of your favourite lines. I’m on set, so I will check in and upload the videos as responses throughout the day. I can’t wait to scream one of my wilder lines and scare the crew.”
The result is a series of videos that are just magnificent.

In the videos, the former bodybuilder’s background hops around from a golf course, to a private plane, to an unexplained fiery background that one can only hope is the set from his latest shoot.

While taking requests in the Reddit forums, the actor was asked to recite his famous “It’s not a tumour” line from the 1990 box office hit “Kindergarten Cop” from the wife of a soldier stationed in Afghanistan.

“Please do ‘It’s not a tumour’ from ‘Kindergarten Cop’. My husband 1LT Dave Johnson, is a huuuge fan of yours and is downrange in Afghanistan with the US Army’s 2nd Cavalier Regiment. If you would shout out to him, he’d just love it!’

From his 1982 outing as Conan the Barbarian, the actor YouTubed his famous response to the question asked by the Mongol general:
“What is best in life?”

“To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.”
In the 1987 action picture “Running Man”, Schwarzenegger played Ben Richards, a man forced to play a deadly game for the sake of TV ratings.

In his Reddit chat, the actor recited his response to game-show host Damon Killian’s offer to become a featured player.
“I hope you leave enough room for my fist because I’m going to ram it into your stomach and break your god-damn spine! Yaaah!”
From 1987’s “Running Man”: “I hope you leave enough room for my fist because I’m going to ram it into your stomach and break your god-damn spine! Yaaah!’

In 1987’s Predator, Schwarzenegger played “Dutch”, a commando who finds himself in a one-on-one battle with a fierce alien hell bent on his destruction.

After going a few rounds with the creature, “Dutch” screams to survivor Anna to run for her life: “Get to the choppa!”
In his final video, Schwarzenegger bid the Reddit forums adieu from the comfort of a private plane and said thanks to his fans:
“I had a terrific time today, with all these different little sayings. I am sorry I didn’t get to all of you. But I promise you . . . I’ll be back!’  — Daily Mail.
