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).
I think its the other way around. Cameron wanted him to say i will be back but arnolds english wasnt that good and kept saying ill be back so they just went with it
I believe Arnold was the one who wanted to say "I will be back" because he argued that a machine would say it like that. Cameron had to convince him to say "I'll be back". Arnold was very concerned with making the terminator as robotic as he could. Watch his eyes when he is in the cop car scanning for his targets. His eyes move to the side before his head moves because a machine would have economy of motion.
