The Arnie thread

[Stephen@Cult Labs]

Raw Deal gets a lot of negativity thrown at it,with people calling it one of Arnie's lesser films (have these people never seen Junior or the previously mentioned Hercules?).I think it's quite a good film.Certainly not as good as Commando (is anything?),but any film that uses The rolling Stones (I can't get no) Satisfaction on the soundtrack to accompany a shootout gets two big thumbs up from me

It's quality. How about the trailer?

The system gave Schwarzenegger a raw deal.

Nobody gives Schwarzenegger a raw deal!

I've given up on an uncut R2 release of Commando and bought the R1 Director's Cut instead.

You were getting that annoyed at the lack of an uncut R2 that you had to let off some steam Vampix?

Is the blu ray not uncut?

Yeah It's just not the Director's Cut

Has anyone else seen Stay Hungry? It's a pretty good movie but more because of Jeff Bridges than Arnie. The scenes where the bodybuilders are running down the streets and when Bridges is dancing are hilarious.

Yes, you know Fox said they were going to release an uncut R2 DVD of Commando...they lied!

Arnie was also in the absolutely chronic Scavenger Hunt. A great cast in one of the worst films I've ever seen.

Oddly enough I watched Elliott Gould's excellent Long Goodbye last night which also features a brief appearance from a young (and moustached) Schwarzenegger as one of Mark Rydell's bodyguards.
