The role of Bruce Willis would have been played by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
It was originally intended to be Arnold Schwarzenegger’s role as a police officer and would have been a sequel to Schwarzenegger’s 1985 film Commando. The Austrian actor, on the other hand, turned down the role for ethical reasons, because most of the villains spoke with German accents, just like him. Sylvester Stallone, Harrison Ford, and Don Johnson also wanted to land the role for himself, but it was eventually given to Bruce Willis, who was known to the audience at the time only for his performances as comedy actor.
