The fact that his character is ridiculously ripped and huge is basically completely ignored… except the one time where Phil Hartman says “ you can’t bench press your way out of this one” which is an amazing line, but would’ve made a lot more sense if they ever acknowledged the fact that he is not built like a normal person any other time in the movie

My favorite example of this was Kindergarten Cop.

It's been awhile, but I don't remember anyone saying anything about how the new substitute teacher is built like a brick shithouse, which is itself built out of other, smaller brick shithouses.

I do, however, remember the scene where he's walking down the hallway with the principal, who asks him where he's from, to which Arnold replies, "Ach, Ja! I am from ze Chlevelands in Ohio." And the principal is like, "Cool, cool. A fellow Midwesterner. . ."
