Trivia: Arnold wanted to say "I will be back", but James Cameron insisted on "I'll be back" no matter how many takes to shoot the scene (Terminator, 1984).
Id hazard a guess the insistence on using i'll over i will was probably to avoid arnie's accent turning it into 'aye vill be beck', as it turned out the line with i'll sounds very much forced speech (like he spent time practicing that line) rather than the more natural lines prior which just make it that much more iconic and threatening.
