Red Heat was pretty ropey.
I wouldn't rematch any of them and Copland and Cliffhanger were very ordinary at the time. Copland would have been a decent movie if they had cast someone other than Stallone.I don't know why I got invested in a debate with these two perhaps it's because of the two who I really don't think can be compared with each other Stallone has made by far the better films whereas so much of Arnie's work is totally forgettable.
I mean
Rocky
First Blood
Copland
Cliffhanger
To name four are films you can rewatch and enjoy.
6:50 into this.
Yep... Although Rocky is the best sports movie maybe?T2 is basically the best action movie of all time so there's that
It relied heavily on stereotypes and the plot was thin, but it was entertaining enough as an action film and James Belushi lifts it.Red Heat was pretty ropey.
I'm sure I didn't hate it at the time but I'd guess it has aged very badly.It relied heavily on stereotypes and the plot was thin, but it was entertaining enough as an action film and James Belushi lifts it.
Total Recall seems underrated by many. It's below Terminator 1 & 2 (and Robocop), but for me is on the classics list. So quotable and peak Verhoeven.
I haven't seen it in years but I'm sure it has. Dunno whether it's aged particularly worse than a lot of those 1980s macho action films though and wasn't Rambo helping the Taliban in Rambo III?I'm sure I didn't hate it at the time but I'd guess it has aged very badly.
Not Taliban but mujahideen.I haven't seen it in years but I'm sure it has. Dunno whether it's aged particularly worse than a lot of those 1980s macho action films though and wasn't Rambo helping the Taliban in Rambo III?
No.Isn't it a shame that when they finally worked together it was a little too late kinda like Pacino and De Niro (minus Heat).
I agree about Rocky but Rambo I find massively overrated after the first one.Sly wins for me, Rocky (not 5) and Rambo films are hard to beat franchises
Yeah fair point, I have read that and heard it before, I enjoyed them.I agree about Rocky but Rambo I find massively overrated after the first one.
I take it you've not seen Hercules in New York?Acting skills aside, Arnie has never done anything as shit as "Stop or my mom will shoot", even Arnies depiction of Mr Freeze in Batman&Robin wasn't as shit as "sommws".
My bad.Not Taliban but mujahideen.
Nah. I watched the one @nimic recommended yesterday, Coach Carter, and that was a far superior movie to Rocky. I'd also say Billy Bob's Friday Night Lights was definitely better. If they count as "sports movies" Concussion and Caddyshack are superior to Rocky. And even in its own series, Creed is vastly superior to OG Rocky for me.Yep... Although Rocky is the best sports movie maybe?
Do you drive a bus in Nairobi?The both have the expendables
Van damme has them both beat though (yeah, yeah, he was my childhood hero)
Completely agree about Total Recall, both an underrated sci-fi and Arnie film.It relied heavily on stereotypes and the plot was thin, but it was entertaining enough as an action film and James Belushi lifts it.

I been staring at this for 5 minutes... Is it an image or a gif????Arnie, he has been in the best film between the two.
Can't understand why you loved Coach Carter so much. I like it don't get my wrong but it's pretty cheesy trashNah.

But thanks Nimic for the rec
Teen movie titles have got way less subtle.American wank.
Bloody hell, I should be!Do you drive a bus in Nairobi?
It's from a tv series called Sense8Bloody hell, I should be!
Funnily enough I started watching sense8, and for the life of me don’t know why I stopped a few episodes (or completed season 1?) in.It's from a tv series called Sense8
