I’d love to have been a fly on a wall in the casting process for the Bennett character:

“Guys, we’re in a jam here. Production is in less than a week, and we have to find a credible adversary for a seven-time Mr. Olympia. Let’s just blue-sky this thing. No idea is too stupid. Nobody will be judged.”

“OK. First off. The audience obviously needs to believe that this guy is the equal of our Matrix character. He’s been trained by him, he knows his strengths and weaknesses, and he knows just how to fight him …”

And then a round of tequilas came to the producers’ table? Who knows? What we do know is that this is one of the most incongruent, yet marvelous, characters in film history.
