Arnold Schwarzenegger vs Sylvester Stallone?

[Artimus]

The award for worst scene in any of these movies would have to be in Rocky 3 when Rocky beats Apollo Creed in a race on the beach. They're both jumping up and down hugging eachother in the water in their 80's cut-off shirts....I laugh every time :1orglaugh

...with the Gonna Fly Now theme playing.

That scene is classic.

 

[The Joker]

Let's see here ... Stallone has:

Rocky
Rocky II
Rocky III
Rocky IV
Rocky Balboa
First Blood
RAMBO: First Blood Part II
Rambo (which is really Rambo IV)
Cobra
Over the Top
Demolition Man
Cliffhanger
The Specialist
Cop Land
& and the upcoming The Expendables.

Schwarzenegger has:

Hercules in New York
Conan the Barbarian
The Terminator
T2
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
Commando
Predator
Raw Deal
The Running Man
Red Heat
Twins
Total Recall
True Lies
Jingle all the Way
Eraser
End of Days
The 6th Day
Collateral Damage

Schwarzenegger wins but not by much. Actually, I consider both about what and what as far as acting goes. Though Stallone, especially in interviews I've watched on some of the Rocky DVD extra's, comes across as much more intelligent than I've ever seen out of Arnold.

 

[pully89]

they are both shit actors but i love the rocky films so sly has to win

 

[tartanterrier]

I think The Terminator films win it for Arnie

 

[Skyraider22]

[fewmany]

[Hypergalaxy]

Arnold Schwarzenegger :thumbsup:

 

[tiger1977]

Gotta vote Stallone simply for Rocky & Rambo.

But....Commando & Terminator were fanfuckingtastic.

 

[Paul_1]

Arnold wins

 

[Nina_Mercedez]

Booooooo

 

[skechers]

Get to the choppaaaaa!!!

 

[thebear247]

Sylvester Stallone

 

[Lacey Black]

Hmm. I'll have to say Arnold since I've seen more movies with him in it. Even though I liked Sylvester in Demolition Man a lot, with Sandra Bullock.

 

[jakeballs77]

All Stallone had was the Rocky series. Arnold blows him away as far as catalog goes.

Try putting replacing Sly with Arnie and nobody would have watched the Rocky films... Just about any movie, especially the Terminator fims, that Arnie has done would still be as successful. Apart from Twins maybe :1orglaugh

Stallone sounds like he has marbles in his mouth when talking and the crying scene in the first Rambo movie [towards the end] when he's talking to Troutman about his life in the past in Nam, well, fuck you needed subtitles for that scene on the first viewing. Stallone bubbling like a baby and trying to talk with a mouthful of marbles at the same time lol.

I've never had a problem understanding Stallone in that scene, and frankly- it's a great scene (reminds me of how Stallone was an actor before he became an action hero). "First Blood" (NOT Rambo), was an excellent movie.

Stallone has:

Rocky.
Rocky II.
Rocky III.
Rocky IV.
Rambo.
Rambo II.
Rambo III.

Where as Arnold has:

Conan The Barbarian.
Conan The Destroyer.
Red Sonja [a Conan side story of sorts].
Commando.
Raw Deal.
Red Heat.
Predator.
The Running Man.
Total Recall.
The Sixth Day.
Colateral Damage.
Terminator.
Terminator 2.
Terminator 3.
Eraser.
Jingle All The Way.
End of Days.

Oh boy did you leave out a ton of stuff. Especially for Stallone. I'd recommend you go back and watch "Lords of Flatbush", "F.I.S.T", or "Paradise Alley" from early in his career. You also left off the amazingly good "Copland", for which Stallone got fat to play a deaf, mild mannered sheriff.

Over all Arnold has a better selection of movies. And he isn't milking all of his big hits like Stallone is doing. There could easily be sequel after sequel to a few of Arnolds movies. But he isn't as desperate as Stallone. Stallone is beating a dead horse as far as his Rocky series goes. And he should have left Rambo at IV not making a number 5 as well now. Fuck that. The ending to four was a ncie way of rounding the series up and finishing it off. Stallone is a washed up BUM that needs to milk the past in order to progress.

Jingle All The Way is way better than Stallone's effort of Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot. Jingle has the lovely Rita Wilson in it and the comedy and oneliners is better too.

WTF does Rita Wilson have to do with whether Stallone or Schwarzenegger is better? Stallone has acted alongside Marissa Tomei, who won an oscar in a comedy. So?

Stallone is a washed up bum because he decided to do a few movies to put an end to some of his more famous franchises? More Rambo movies is no more ridiculous than the Arnold-less terminator flood we've gotten recently or Bruce Willis making that awful "Live Free or Die Hard".

Arnold is also not making movies because... uhh... he's been governor of California for a few years now. That doesn't lend itself to a lot of free time.

Arnold has about three duds in his career. Hercules In New York. Twins. and Junior.

Three... ha... ha ha... BWAH HA HA HA HA HA!

Wow. Aparently, you must be a fan of his recent stuff, which has pretty much been a series of duds. Certainly you're not going to try to pretend that the steaming loaf of crap that was "Last Action Hero" was a hit. "Eraser", "End of Days", the incredibly bad "Collateral Damage".

Where as Stallone has... everything else I didn't mention above.

And yeah, while he's certainly made his awful movies (Stop or my Mom will shoot, Rhinestone, Tango and Cash, etc.), he's done more than the two series of movies, and was once an actual actor. "Oscar" was certainly at least an enjoyable comedy, and "Cliffhanger" was a great flick.


Alas, that said, I still do prefer the Arnold movies that I like to the Stallone films that I like. It's all a matter of opinion in the end, but looking at their acting careers, it's hard to say that Stallone is a washed up bum.

Released 16 years ago and still one of the best sci-fi action films ever made.

If you love the movie Predator, you will love this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovi-djkUgd0

The beauty of this film is its simplicity - Team of Commandos Vs An Alien. No complex plot, no worrying about the alien's motivation or the wider implications of being invaded by a race of these things...and it works superbly.

 

[Spleen]

It's close, but Arnie gets my vote for all that he has achieved in his life.

If it was purely about their movies, I'd still say Arnie because he has a lot more varied movies. Kindergarten Cop, anyone? YOU BELONG TO ME NOOOOW!

 

[Darzan]

I think mine has to go to Arnold. On the whole i prefer his films to Stallone's.
