Curtis was asked to be on Dancing with the Stars in fall 2010, but she rejected the offer. JLC in True Lies is tied with Paula Abdul's Cold Hearted Snake atop the list of instant boners.

This article has an estimated read time of seven minutesWhen True Lies was first released in cinemas, 25 years ago today, its most famous scene wasn’t one of director James Cameron’s heart-pumping action sequences – Arnie chasing down a motorcycle on horseback, or a climatic fight on top of a harrier jump jet – but Jamie Lee Curtis performing a striptease.The scene led to the film being criticised as misogynistic. “My wife said it,” says Art Malik, who played lead terrorist Salim Abu Aziz.

“She found the scene where Jamie Lee Curtis is made to dance repellent, like a lot of people. There’s always going to be a response to a film that either you like or you don’t like good criticism is very helpful.”True Lies was a remake of the 1991 French film La Totale! Which Cameron intended to re-tool as an homage to the James Bond movies. At the time, the premise was as sharp as Cameron’s boundary-pushing technical innovations: what if a Bond-type spy had to keep his job a secret from his family? And what if that made him a terrible husband and father?

Arnie plays Harry Tasker, a secret agent who pretends to be a computer salesman to his wife Helen, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, until he discovers Helen is having an affair. (In fact, she’s not – Helen is being seduced by Bill Paxton’s dodgy car dealer, who’s pretending to be a spy – oh, the irony!) Harry uses surveillance tactics to follow his wife and trick her into thinking she’s part of an espionage mission. But terrorist group Crimson Jihad kidnap the couple as part of a plot to nuke major US cities – cue an actual his-and-hers espionage mission. Art Malik was drawn to what he calls the “pantomime quality” of the script. “I remember reading it in the bedroom and falling about with laughter.

My wife would say, ‘What are you laughing at?’ and I’d say, ‘You won’t believe what’s happening in this script!’ It was extraordinary, funny and brilliant.' “In the original script Jim Cameron referred to Salim Abu Aziz as ‘Malik’,” he laughs. “When he was sending it out, people were saying, ‘Well I guess you’ve got Art Malik playing it!’ or ‘Will somebody just get me some s- on this guy Art Malik? Eternity the last unicorn ps4.

I don’t know who the hell he is!’”Malik had made his breakthrough with the 1984 ITV drama series Jewel in the Crown, playing the British-Indian character Hari Kumar. He was offered numerous Asian roles afterwards and was sensitive to negative stereotypes.“And there were many, many movies – some very successful movies – that I turned down in my early career because I felt they were just stereotypes. To me, working with Jim Cameron was paramount.

One is rarely, if one’s honest, drawn to working with an actor. Every actor is great. What was important was working with James Cameron. It’s exciting to stand on a set and watch someone come up with a completely new way of telling a story He was just relentless in the pursuit of every shot.”.

There’s other good stuff in True Lies: Arnie perfectly fuses comedy and action, something fans hadn’t fully appreciated in his genre-busting flop Last Action Hero the year before (“The man has such control over every muscle in face that it would put most actors to shame,” says Art Malik); and Bill Paxton is a joy as lecherous, pants-wetting car salesman Simon.But can True Lies ever overcome its controversial reputation? It feels sleazy watching the ordeal that Jamie Lee Curtis’s character is forced to endure.After finding his wife has been lying to him – something which, in her defence, Harry’s been doing to her for 15 years of marriage – Harry forces her to pose as a prostitute and dance in her underwear for his pleasure. Worse, she begins to enjoy it. It’s no wonder Captain Marvel shot the film’s face off in a matter of seconds.

James Cameron, who was praised in his early days for putting gun-toting female heroes at the front of Aliens and Terminator 2, defended the film. “I don’t think every scene in a movie has to present itself as an example of political correctness,” he said, quoted in Entertainment Weekly, referring to the scene in which Arnie interrogates Jamie Lee and forces her to confess her love for him from behind one-way glass.

“I’ve had a lot of guys say, ‘I need one of those rooms at my house,’” said Cameron. The film’s caricatured portrayal of Muslims has become increasingly uncomfortable in recent years. The bad guys are American-hating, woman-beating zealots – and inept clowns. They forget to change the camcorder batteries before videoing their terrorist demands, and wield their missiles like The Three Stooges.“Remember this was pre-9/11,” says Art Malik. “The only thing that really happened on the political stage was we were a step closer closer to people thinking there would be peace in the Middle East with the Oslo Accord, and there was a rather buffoonish attempt at trying to take down the twin towers – a chap called Ramzi Yousef, who I played in an HBO series called Path to Paradise Yousef masterminded a 1993 bombing below the North Tower that killed six people. There was an element of fanaticism brewing and anti-West feeling going on.

But I don’t think any of us took any of it as seriously as we had to after 9/11. I think one of the reasons for that is probably the reason True Lies 2 was never made.”. As reported in the Washington Post at the time, Jack Shaheen, a professor at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, who studied Arabs in cinema, said that True Lies would 'probably will stand the test of time as one of the most racist movies Hollywood has ever produced.' “We really wanted to do an action picture for the Nineties,” said Schwarzenegger, speaking for a making-of documentary. “We created something that is quite unique. You have the size and scope of a T2 Terminator 2: Judgement Day, you have other things that are very James Bondian.”The Nineties is absolutely right: though not long ago, sometimes it feels a lifetime away in terms of political correctness. True Lies is a film that excels at what it does.

Enjoyment of it depends on your opinion of what exactly it sets out to do. An incredible piece action cinema? And unashamedly un-PC? Absolutely true.
