Did you notice Arnold posing in undies in the Marty's apartment scene?

Yes, in response to another post, I noted that he "broke the wall" by looking into the camera!

Not criticizing you at all! I am just curious.... I've heard it's called Breaking the 4th wall when an actor looks at the camera (4th wall, in dimension) and therefor the audience; breaking the realism of the film. Is that correct? Breaking the wall, or breaking the 4th wall? Which should be used when referring to looking into the lens?
I just want to know, because i've never seen it written or said "They broke the wall." Only that it's breaking the 4th wall specifically. Is it interchangeable?
Not trying to be a stickler, just trying to get it right so i use it correctly.

His complete lack of experience shows. He had no clue how to relax in front of the camera and even looked at the camera twice! It's amazing that not long after he shined in Stay Hungry.

Yes and it's probably the best movie he's ever been in (and I love Terminator 2)
