| Interesting. May be a bug related to the schema markup

| Same issue happens for a search of "the terminator cast"

| Arnold seems to be totally missing.
|
| Not in Kindergarten Cop either.
|
| Last Action Hero has T-1000 but not Arnold.

| Picture of Schwarznegger under "Robert Winley" for some reason,

|
| Also if you scroll down a bit more it shows not just Edward
| Furlong as John Connor, but also Dalton Abbott, Michael
| Edwards, and Marius Claren.
|
| Abbott and Edwards are "Old John Connor" and "Infant John
| Connor" on imdb, and Marius Claren is the guy who does the
| voice of Connor in the German dub. I guess it's "correct" for
| some value of "correct", but also not really.
|
| tl;dr: don't trust these google instant preview thingies it
| seems.

|
| So maybe not RTBF.

|
| - DuckDuckGo doesn't show a direct answer. First results are IMDb

|
| - Kagi is similar to DuckDuckGo, no direkt answer, IMDb and
| Wikipedia first. Where it gets interesting is the third result.
| It is a link to a Google query for the phrase: _" Why doesn't

| What GP means is that it's not inline, presented as a

| Schwarz is black?

| Google says:
|
| From Schwarzenegg + -er, literally "someone from Schwarzenegg",
| referring to either of two places in Switzerland and Austria,
| from schwarz ("black") + Egg ("ridge"), cognate with Ecke.

| It is. Very much so. It's the equivalent to the US
| "n-word".

|
| The egg in Arnolds name is probably a Styrian-Austrian
| dialect variation of "Eck" which translates to "corner". In
| Austria there are many places ending in this egg (sometimes
| also only with a single "g").
|
| So his literal name might describe somebody coming from a
| place called "Schwarzenegg". And Schwarzenegg would be
| literally "Black-Corner".
