Stallone vs Schwarzenegger
 

Whos better Sly or Arnie?

Its Arnie for me.

Can Reaps or Vince do something to his name i spelt it wrong doh!

Done.
Sly for me.Can't think of a film where Arnie has actually used thespian skills.Don't get me wrong,he's great.But Sly has proven that he can act.

Cheers:cool:

Stallone is the better actor but i love Terminator and Total Recall.

Stallone.

Whenever the subject of Schwarzenegger's acting abilities are mentioned I just think of Batman And Robin ("Zoon, ve vill be too-gedder once moo-arr").

:rofl:

Whats Herculies in New York like? I hear its an all time laugh riot.

It's quite possibly one of the shittiest piles of cheap, unadulterated, unfunny, steaming crap I've ever seen in 42 years on this planet.


(actually it's unintentionally funny if you see it in the right frame of mind - ie very drunk) :D

Aint he dubbed in it? Im tempted to check it out, i always see it for £1.

Yes he's dubbed and very badly too. Olympus in the film looks a bit like someone's garden, complete with rockery.

£1 is too much. Try haggling it down to about 15p. That's more reasonable. :D

I have decided i will buy it thanks to your reccomendations Vince:D

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. :ack:

That sounds like a odd double!

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!

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

Firmly in the Pro list :D

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

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.

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:p).
"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?:ack:).

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

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.... :rofl:

"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."

We're discussing the merits of RED SONJA over DEATH RACE 2000 :D

Other than Brigitte Nielsen are there any? :D

Zilch.Nada.Zip. Nielsen isn't a merit.....remember the tabloid story about her and Sly in a restaraunt?Under the table fumblings with a Rubber Sonja?:rofl:

Give me Sheena any day of the week. :cool:

Latest members opinions?

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 :)

Arnie, simply because of the first Terminator movie.

I think ROCKY is one of the most dreadful film series ever.

Agreed

I didn't mind it originally, but over the years I've really started to hate it to the point where I now find it unbearable to sit through.

Even though I love Predator, Commando, Total Recall, and The Terminator, it's got to be Sly for me.There's just something about Stallone that I find more likeable.

I still think FIRST BLOOD is Stallone's best film
never a fan of the ROCKY films
but Schwarzenegger is better imo
got a lot of his films

So Marion Cobretti is JUST still in the lead!

I'm the reverse of that, actually. I never saw the film at all until about a year or so ago and I quite liked it. It had that gritty and grimy 70's feel to it, which I liked it. I then went on to immediately watch 2 and 3 and thought they were dreadful.

But, for me, I find Arnie's films more enjoyable on the whole.
