"If you're lying, I'll be BACK".


I kinda am aware that this has been brought up before, but I was wondering, was the line "If you're lying, I'll be back" from this movie an influence on the very popular "I'll be back" line uttered by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the legendary "The Terminator" (1984) film 4 years later, given how both this film (Exterminator) and the other (The Terminator) had "terminator" in the title?

Or was it just a huge coincidence?

What do you think, thanks?

(Is it possible that both at the time or maybe perhaps later, both James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger have caught up with and seen this film and were fascinated by the "I'll be back" line in it as well?)

Seems reasonable

Yeah. (Except in "The Terminator", Arnie was back even after that guy to which he told the line to was telling the truth.)
