Peter Hyams is a funny guy.
He once said, "O. J. Simpson was in Capricorn One and Robert Blake was in Busting. I've said many times: Some people have AFI Lifetime Achievement awards, some people have multiple Oscars, my bit of trivia is that I've made films with two leading men who were subsequently tried for the first-degree murder of their wives."
He's also made plenty of decent movies with not much fanfare, like Outland, 2010, Running Scared, Timecop, Stay Tuned and Sudden Death.
1979: The Pope sends a priest on a mission to protect a newborn baby named Christine York, who will be the one to give birth to Satan's child after a comet goes over the moon in full view of the Vatican, all while the Vatican knights try to kill her.
1999: Satan has possessed an investment banker (Gabriel Byrne) under the protection of Jericho Cane (Schwarzenegger) and Bobby Chicago (Kevin Pollak). Father Thomas Aquinas (Derrick O'Connor), a tongue-less priest, tries to kill the banker before being arrested.
Between his old boss Marge Francis (CCH Pounder) and Father Kovak (Rod Steiger), Cane starts to realize that something isn't right with his boss, what with him crucifying Aquinas to the ceiling of his apartment.
Can a man who has given up on God after the death of his wie and daughter find the strength to protect York (Robin Tunney) from the Vatican knights and demons, including his dead partner reanimated after making a deal with Satan? Will the devil crucify Arnold? Do grenades work on Satan?
This movie also has Udo Keir and Marc Lawrence, somehow appearing yet again in a movie where Satan wants a woman, much like The Nightmare Never Ends but with a much larger budget.
End of Days was Arnold's first movie since Batman & Robin and a series of heart issues. Studios were anxious about whether or not they could insure him. The insurance people and executives from Universal came to the set just to watch him for the first week of shooting, but Arnold had returned to peak condition.
