"Obvious" as in "I never noticed until I watched the remastered Blu-Ray version of a film I have seen a dozen times"
I'm astounded this shot made it into Endgame.
LMAO. Fuck me, that'll never be not funny.
To my mind, it's part of the joke.
It's only bad for me whenI found out it's there. I watched the movie a dozen times and didn't notice. But when you do.... boy is it screamingly obvious. On the plus side - the fact that they completely replaced it with a proper Zhora in the blu ray is just one of a thousand amazing things they did in that update. Probably the most ambitious and brilliant ever done. If I ever win the lottery I got ten million for the same treatment on Lynch's Dune, and another ten if Lynch wants to film or add anything.

Chros Peen looking swole. Scarless Joesamson is tight. Dilbert Clowney Sr seen better days. Christmas Hamsworthy not so hot. Mike Buffalo phew. Jemima Runner is kinda lucky he's not in here.
I'm never going to be able to NOT notice this now.
Haven't watched it in motion but in this screenshot it looks very obvious, Arnold's head is less blurry than the rest of the imageYup, although it was fixed in the 2017 3D re-release.
worth checking out (timestamp in link), I'd say less jarring than a guy that clearly isn't Arnold, looks pretty good and it's done a few times in the chase sequence
They actually fixed this with face replacement in the most recent theatrical re-release.
EDIT: Just noticed the new version posted just before I pointed it out.
there are so many of them that it's actually easier to list movies where you can't recognize the doubles...
When the bike is in the air and "wobbles", we can see Arnold's head clearly doesn't wobble like the rest of his body. That said it does still look better than the stunt double, yes.
Date Movie
Yeah it's intentional, haha.
lol
"And remember to watch out in June 2004 for Dangeresque 3: the Criminal Projective"
It's crazy to see a screenshot I took of Netflix and plopped on imgur years ago at the old place show up here randomly.
Prison break
But yeah, this was a memorable one.
The jump just before this is pretty bad too because it's from the front and in slow motion. Although to be fair I never noticed until I saw it in HD.
I rewatched the LOTR trilogy this weekend and pretty much my only complain about it is that sometimes the doubles for the hobbits are so terribly done that it just distracting. It's not only that the actors are obviously different people but they were given these terrible masks that didn't resemble the main actors in the slightest.
I actually dislike that they "fixed" the T2 thing, it's part of movie making and a stunt double doesn't make it a lesser scene. Now Arnie gets the credit?
It's funny how many of these are from his movies, though. I was watching Commando last week and when he is at the airport and jumps off a moving truck, it looks like a dude in a muscle suit running.

Loved this Era, a lot of black sitcoms had the dummy gag.
Shit is always hilarious 😂

MAN that looks terrible.
You guys know the latest release fixes Arnie's face with CG to fix this scene? Unfortunately they have assed it because Ed's stunt double is still an ugly ass man. Too bad.
Same. Obvious as hell in slow motion, but I never noticed before that.
Or the "I eat Green Beret for breakfast" fight scene with Billy Duke and you can clearly see what appears to be a white stuntman with a bald cap and BLACKFACE MAKEUP doing the stunts.
