Reminds me of that old joke, "I went to see a fight and a hockey game broke out!"
I think hockey gets away with fighting because casual fans attend the games with the expectation of seeing at least one fight break out. They'll leave disappointed if there isn't one.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
