Remember those reports of Christian Bale losing it on the set of "Terminator Salvation"? There's an audio tape ... and it ain't pretty.

The "Dark Knight" star launched into a lengthy, expletive-laced tirade against Shane Hurlbut, "Terminator's" director of cinematography, after he allegedly walked into the actor's shot.

"I want you off the f---ing set, you p---k!" Bale screamed as Hurlbut can be heard quietly apologizing. "Don't just be sorry - think for one f---ing second. What the f--- are you doing?!"

Bale unleashed the multi-minute tirade against Hurlbut in July while the film was shooting in New Mexico. According to TMZ.com, who obtained the tape, producers sent the audio to their insurance company in case Bale walked off the film.

And they had good reason to think he might: Bale spewed forth a bevy of curse words that would make even a sailor blush.

"I'm gonna f---ing kick your f---ing a-- if you don't shut up for a second," he shouted at one point, just before threatening to have Hurlbut fired.

"Am I going to walk around the rip your f---ing lights down in the middle of a scene? Then why the f--- are you walking right through? What the f--- is it with you?"

Bale wrapped up his rant with a simple, "f---ing a--."
