Hollywood action star Arnold Schwarzenegger has defended the degree of violence in his new film 'Sabotage'.

The 66-year-old 'Terminator' star said the video games which children play are much more violent, reported Entertainment Wise.

"I think violence is political now: 'maybe if there is no violence in movies, there will be no violence in the world.' I don't believe that. The video games our children play are much, much more violent than anything in this movie," he said.

The actor and former politician, who plays the role of a US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) boss in the movie, was shocked when he was asked to undertake weapon training for the movie.
 

"There was the weapons training and I said, 'Why do I need weapons training? I mean, I've shot more guns than anyone in movie history. I've killed more people than anyone so why do we need to go through weapons training?" he said.
