In addition to serious action roles, Arnold Schwarzenegger has also repeatedly tried his hand at comedies throughout his career. These include the entertaining Kindergarten Cop from 1990, in which Arnie has to look after a bunch of small children as an undercover police officer. The film, which is shown on Monday evening on Kabel eins, made the action legend extremely nervous before filming.
That’s what Kindergarten Cop is all about
In the story of the film by Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman, police officer John Kimble (Schwarzenegger) can arrest drug dealer Cullen Crisp (Richard Tyson). For the trial he needs Cullen’s ex-wife Rachel (Penelope Ann Miller), who has gone into hiding with their son. Kimble follows the two of them to a kindergarten, where the cop infiltrates as an undercover investigator. Here he has to face completely new challenges.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was afraid of dealing with children
It wasn’t just Arnie’s character in the action comedy who had to get involved with the little stars of Kindergarten Cop. The actor himself was extremely nervous before filming, according to a report in the LA Times:
You read the script and it’s a great idea, and then you realize what you have to do. That’s why I insisted that Ivan direct the film. When I went in I was sweating. I felt like the character in the movie.
Schwarzenegger was ultimately able to inspire the kids with his athletic lifestyle:
Then I realized that physical fitness would be a way to address it. I asked them to do jumping jacks and 100 children enthusiastically started doing jumping jacks. We started training and from then on I had her completely on my side. When is Kindergarten Cop on TV?
