Stallone vs Schwarzenegger

[Peter Neal]

Stallone for me too...and not just because he made one of the few action movies of real interest (to me anyway) of the last 10 years or so with "(John) Rambo".
I like the guy, even in some flicks others consider as lesser fare, like "The Specialist" (though James Woods is pretty close in stealing the movie off him in that one).
"Tango and Cash" is pretty dated, but fun nevertheless.

Don't get me wrong, I like Arnie too, but the last Schwarzenegger (apart from T 3) I really enjoyed must have been "Eraser", with a few of his last films particularly suffering under his attempts to act ("Collateral Damage" anyone?).

A bit of useless extra-info: Schwarzenegger and Stallone share the SAME dubbing voice in Germany
I wonder how (or if...) they'll solve that for Arnie's cameo in "The Expendables"

Death Race is good but F.I.S.T and Cliffhanger are crap.

F.I.S.T is a good film though overlong and draggy in parts though Nighthawks is highly recommended.

Red Sonja was far from a hit and 'grossed only $6948633 in theaters' (not too difficult to see why). I saw it on the cinema back in 1985 (I was 18) and Nielsen certainly warmed the cockles of my heart back then too.

Love Schwarzenegger's comments about the film....

"It's the worst film I have ever made Now, when my kids get out of line, they're sent to their room and forced to watch Red Sonja ten times. I never have too much trouble with them."

Latest members opinions?

[nordicdusk]

Stallone get my vote he just puts so much emotion into his rolls. He shows that an action hero does not have to be stoney faced all the time that they can be vulnerable example the break down scene in First Blood but still kick everyones ass. Other examples the last Rocky movie Cop Land and also having a name like Marion in Cobra

[Beyond72]

Arnie, simply because of the first Terminator movie.
