- 17:08Arnold
- 17:08Schwarzenegger
- 17:09initially
- 17:09agreed
- 17:10to

- 17:11Sonja
- 17:11as
- 17:12a

- 17:18multi
- 17:19picture
- 17:19deal.
- 17:20But
- 17:20the
- 17:20situation
- 17:21became
- 17:21much
- 17:22more
- 17:22complicated
- 17:23than
- 17:23originally
- 17:24planned.
- 17:25Allegedly,
- 17:25Dino
- 17:26De
- 17:26Laurentiis
- 17:26didn't
- 17:27have

- 17:30schedule.
- 17:31So
- 17:31he
- 17:31came
- 17:31up
- 17:32with
- 17:32a
- 17:32workaround.
- 17:33He'd
- 17:34make

- 17:39without
- 17:40the
- 17:40full
- 17:40expense.
- 17:41And
- 17:41he'd
- 17:41get
- 17:41Schwarzenegger
- 17:42to
- 17:43cameo
- 17:43in
- 17:43the
- 17:44movie.
- 17:44It
- 17:45makes
- 17:45sense
- 17:45because
- 17:45the
- 17:46audience
- 17:46loved
- 17:46him
- 17:47in
- 17:47Conan,
- 17:47so
- 17:48why
- 17:48not
- 17:48have
- 17:49him
- 17:49show
- 17:49up
- 17:49here
- 17:49too?
- 17:50Except
- 17:51they
- 17:51couldn't
- 17:51use
- 17:51the
- 17:52name
- 17:52Conan
- 17:53because
- 17:53they
- 17:53didn't
- 17:53have
- 17:53the
- 17:54rights
- 17:54to
- 17:54the

- 17:55So
- 17:55they
- 17:55renamed
- 17:56the
- 17:56character
- 17:57Lord
- 17:57Caledor.
