Schwarzenegger stated that while filming a scene with a horse, a camera boom hit the horse and "it went crazy, spinning and rearing" near a drop of 90 feet. Schwarzenegger quickly slid off the horse and stuntman Billy D. Lucas (who was one of Arnold's main doubles and closest friends) caught him; he concluded, "is why I will always love stunt people". Costing $100–120 million to produce, "True Lies" was the first film with a production budget of over $100 million. It was filmed over a seven-month schedule.
