Honestly, that's what I assumed after I watched the movie. I usually get annoyed when needless romance is tacked onto action flicks, but I'm actually disappointed they weren't more romantic in this movie. I thought they looked great together!

I am SO glad they didn't fall in love. It does make a refreshing change for them not to these days. As others have said, he is a professional and didn't want to get involved that way with his client. Also, they had absolutely NO chemistry together, as is the case with Arnie most of the time.

Because "Jungle Love" was already out. Also why do you like employing romance in this film simple because it involves a man and a woman. A bit cliched if you ask mewhere did you graduate from college again? So if it was a story about two men and two women then would you still have them "fall in loveand live happily ever after?" You are a weirdo is is stuck living in the stone age. Come join the present.where women can own property and vote.

Yes and because Vanessa Williams is a black woman, would have made it even more exciting and pleasurable to see. "John Kruger" cares about his clients so the fact he would have a extra-bond by making love to her would have still be in line with the plot.
She sure enough trusted him to the max!

Pretty sure she's half white or something but I wonder if Arnold doesn't like darker women? He was born 2 years after the end of WWII in Austria, after all. Never know, all I'm saying. I don't know the guy, so I can't make that call.

I'm glad this movie did not waste its time with a mundane love story. I mean, it probably could have worked if Arnold and Vanessa had more chemistry, but that's not what they were going for in the movie (they did look good together, though). So in the end, it would've been unconvincing and cliche if their characters fell in love.
In any case, seeing Vanessa in some steamy scene would have been very satisfying.
Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry! -

I agree, a romance would have been silly and distracting. The plot was complicated enough at times w\o adding a "love" angle. Sly Stallone and Sharon Stone in The Specialist as a couple works okay b\c it fits into why he stuck with her despite her shady background.
In real life Arnie would have at least tried to boink Vanessa b\c she is so freaking yummy in this movie. Can you imagine a sex scene between the two like Stallone and Stone? Might have pumped up DVD sales!
