Film Deaths
Edit
- The Terminator (1984) [The Terminator]: Destroyed when Linda Hamilton crushes him in an industrial press. (At this point, he is in his robot-skeleton form.)
- The Running Man (1987) [Ben Richards]: Impaled on a spiked wall by Jesse Ventura (This turns out to be a completely different anonymous character who had been digitally disguised as Arnold for the TV show. He survives the film in reality.)
- Total Recall (1990) [Douglas Quaid / Hauser]: Playing a dual role as two personalities of the same man, "Douglas Quaid" suffocates to death on Mars after his spacesuit-helmet breaks in what turns out to be a nightmare; he survives the movie in reality. Additionally, his "Hauser" personality ceases to be when he chooses to be good.
- Kindergarten Cop (1991) [Det. John Kimble] Shot in the head by Richard Tyson in Arnold's dream sequence; he survives the film in reallity.
- Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) [The Terminator]: Sacrifices himself by having Linda Hamilton and Edward Furlong lower him down into an iron foundry to be melted so that the futuristic technology of his android body won't be misused.
- End of Days (1999) [Jericho Cane]: Commits suicide by throwing himself on a sword. In the alternate ending, he was brought back to life by God.

- Sabotage (2014) [John "Breacher" Wharton]: Though he survives the actual film, the blu-ray includes an alternate ending where he is shot to death by Olivia Williams.
- Terminator Genisys (2015) [The Guardian/T-800]: Is grievously maimed during a hand-to-hand battle with Jason Clarke while fighting inside a time-displacement device. It could be counted as a death since Arnold's character did shut down before gaining a T-1000 upgrade.
- Killing Gunther (2017) [Robert "Gunther" Bendik] Shot in the back twice by Taran Killam. The shooting triggers a dead man switch that sets off an explosive vest that kills Taran Killam. However, a mid-credits scene reveals that Arnold is alive with no explanation of how he was revived.
