Jamie Lee Curtis

Jamie Lee looked lovely, but she gave me a brief scare...

'True Lies' Premiere

... because on first casual glance I thought this was laced up over her bare bum. I believe that is a terrible trick of the light, but I did yelp first.

JLC

Sidebar: At the London premiere, it appears she was asked to wear a replica of That Black Dress, and she is a good sport. It also randomly appears to fit her exact specific tan line?

Chris Farley

Awww.

Sheryl Berkoff and Rob Lowe

I did not realize -- or recall, I guess -- that open-backed booties were a thing in 1994.

Mimi Rogers

I am not unwilling to wear this right now.

John Stamos

I AM unwilling to wear a leather jacket in the shade Dehydrated Person's Urine.

Paul Reiser

Paul concurs.

Tony Goldwyn

Fitz has always been handsome.

Linda Hamilton, Sharon Stone

Look at Linda in her tiny '90s sunglasses. Remember when those tried to come back? I feel like we as a society said a good, hard no.

Jon Lovitz

This does not seem like it was ever a solid idea.

Eliza Dushku

She has a good part in this movie, as Arnold's and JLC's kid. I love the absolute red-carpet rawness of a teen star. She's like, "How do I stand? Whatever."

Reese Witherspoon

Reese is just... dressed for a regular night at the movies, which I guess this probably felt more like in 1994.

Maria Shriver and Arnold

This pantsuit is terrible. It feels like Eunice forced it on her from her Political Events archive.

Eunice attended, in fact, with various other Shrivers.

Jackie and Frank Stallone

I thought Jackie Stallone was Jackie Collins for the BRIEFEST of seconds.

James Woods and date

Ah, yes, from the good old days before James dated his best friend's 19-year old daughter.

Danny DeVito

Danny DeVito is always going to show up for his twin brother Arnold.

Christopher Lambert

Informative Caption was so focused on Christopher that it ignored the fact that this is Diane Lane with him. Her sweater is long! His pants are high! Such was 1994.

Bill Paxton

Lest you think Bill was underdressed...

Bill Paxton

... he was merely being a billboard, and a team player. RIP, Bill.

True Lies Came Out On This Day in 1994

I watched True Lies again at some point in the pandemic, and I think it held up pretty well -- largely because Jamie Lee Curtis commits to it completely. Bill Paxton has a brief but vital cameo in which he is sleazy perfection. And Arnold... you know, does that Arnold thing, to the usual effect. Is his character kind of a jerk? Yes. Do he and JLC have chemistry? Not really. Do I love that he rides a horse into an elevator, then uses it to jump between buildings? Absolutely, although apparently the horse freaked out and Arnold almost fell to his death, which is less exciting.
