Yes, we’re talking about that Arnold Schwarzenegger, and if you’re not entirely convinced by the first video that it is really him driving the tank that steamrolled an old Mercedes-Benz W123 station wagon model, then a quick visit to the Slashfilm cinema site will lay your doubts to rest.
Arnie, as many like to call him, invited a group of journalists to the Melody Ranch Studios in Newhall, California, where dozens of famous western TV shows have been filmed in the past, including Gunsmoke and The Lone Ranger.
Among those invited was film critic and blogger Germain Lussier, who had the unique chance to both film the former California governor driving his personal M47 tank that was used by the Austrian army in the 1950s over the Benz (not to be confused with the person popping his head out of the turret) and to be taken for a ride by the star of the Terminator movies.
