PlayĮr… After doing a discount double-check, maybe it’s not such a bad thing that the movie didn’t get made after all. According to Smigel, some of the sight gags in an Aaron Rodgers State Farm commercial (for example, Hans and Franz waterskiing behind a superhuman Rodgers, swimming in for Arnold) were borrowed from the abandoned screenplay. It’s a shame we never got to see the movie’s steroid-fueled jokes - but in a way, we did. When it tanked, Nealon says, Ah-nuld “opted not to do this one.”
That film was Schwarzenegger’s first attempt to parody his overly serious film persona, and it was expected to be huge at the box office (as evidenced by the boatloads of Last Action Hero toys available on the cheap on eBay ). The pieces were in place for the SNL sketch characters to pummel their way to the big screen until disaster happened - in the form of 1993’s The Last Action Hero. Schwarzenegger was set to play himself and, in his own Madea moment, Hans and Franz’s outrageously muscled grandmother. But I realized, ‘Okay, that happened, and I did not die. This weight of embarrassment came over me, and I felt like I was sweating from my spine out. One song would have been a parody of West Side Story’s “Cool,” with Schwarzenegger’s pectoral muscles flexing to the beat. I am Hans, und I am Frans, and we just want to pumpyou up For my first show at ‘SNL’, I wrote a Bill Clinton sketch, and during our read-through, it wasn’t getting any laughs. The two weightlifters would live in the fictional Little Austria section of New York City with lush, Sound of Music-style rolling hills somehow nestled between subway stops, revealed Smigel on a taped Con an segment in 2015. The movie, at different times titled Hans and Franz: The Girlyman Dilemma and Hans and Franz Go to Hollywood, also would have been a musical. I ’ d see these streaks of chicken grease all over my screen.” I remember he would always be eating greasy chicken and he liked to touch the screen of the computer. “It was my laptop - Smigel would want to be the writer, and I would throw ideas around with him.
But with Conan pulling double-duty on The Simpsons and Carvey on another project, the heavy lifting was left to “me and Smigel a lot of the time,” Nealon says. With the comedy-writing heavyweights behind the proposed movie, no wonder - Nealon developed the screenplay with the aid of Dana Carvey, Robert Smigel and Conan O’Brien. Schwarzenegger was such a big fan, in fact, that he wanted to co-produce a Hans and Franz movie, Nealon recently told Entertainment Weekly.
