There's more than meets the eye if you watch Collateral Damage again very closely and look for one particular familiar face. Not only are there some deleted scenes coming your way soon on the new Collateral Damage DVD release but there's also one actor in the movie who plays in almost every Schwarzenegger movie.

Sven-Ole Thorsen played opposite Arnold in Conan The Barbarian, Conan The Destroyer, Red Heat, The Running Man, End of Days, Last Action Hero, Predator and some other Schwarzenegger vehicles. Sven is best known for his role as the Gladiator who stars opposite Russell Crowe in the Arena, but his presence in Arnold's movies are always remarkable.

When Gordy Brewer's kid and wife arrive at the building which is about to be bombed, you'll notice a guy in the background sitting at a table smoking a large cigar. This is Sven, sitting in the back just enjoying his screen presence. While the boy starts playing with his toy a blurry image of Sven's face fills the screen since the camera is following the kid. Finally, everybody gets blasted away by the bomb and so is Sven. He jumps out of his chair throwing himself to the ground while the flames reach him...

But that's not the only upclose look on Collateral Damage.

The BBFC website (British ratings board) has just classified the first extras for the upcoming Collateral Damage DVD!
