Stallone vs Schwarzenegger

[vincenzo]

I have it on a 2-on-1 DVD with The Final Countdown which I rescued from a charity shop for 30p in a burst of insanity.

That sounds like a odd double!

Arnie. It's not about the acting, it's all about the action. Plus too many of Stallone's films take themselves way too seriously. (Actually I love them both, but "Predator", "Terminator", "True Lies", "Total Recall", "The Running Man", "Last Action Hero"..... "Cactus Jack" Oooops! )

[siccoyote]

He's not dubbed on the DVD he's dubbed on the old VHS versions of Hercules in new york, which I think is quite good low budget fun. "You have been emordalized!" "I've been who?"

I really like Schwarzy in Terminator, Predator and Conan. But Stallone is just a better actor. Nobody can deny it. He is also a very crafted director and writer. My vote goes for him!

[bedorca]

Great analysis sic, and convinces me even more that I should pick Arnie.... so I did!!

Where would you place "Kindergarten Cop"?

[bedorca]

Firmly in the Pro list

[vincenzo]

The poll is neck and neck at the moment. Rambo v Terminator. In the end there can be only one.

[mark meakin]

Stallone's the better all-rounder.He gave great performances in Rocky & Copland,he is a decent action director as he proved with Rambo & a capable writer.I thought Rambo 3.Cobra,Judge Dredd & D-Tox were fine myself.Tango & Cash always seems underrated too.
