What's the best Ahnold film ever?

[bnaked]

TOTAL RECALL

"Get your ass to Mars."

 

[nerd]

very very tough choice... I'd say Raw Deal, Red Heat, Last Action Hero, T2,... ah, too difficult!
The other way around it's much easier: The only one that really SUCKED was Junior.

Kindergarten cop is awesome, no doubt. Awesome in the way that old school comedy is just 'better'. Like Uncle Buck.. the best use of Tone Loc's Wild Thing in a movie.

"ITS NOT A TUMOR!"

Anyone remember Twins? Not the best movie.. but definitely worth a mention.

At the end of the movie I think they made it ambiguous whether or not it was a dream all along with evidence in the movie that both supports and contradicts it.

That's a popular misconception. On the special edition DVD commentary Paul Verhoeven points out all the hidden facts in the movie that show it's a dream. Arnold's character ends up labodomized.

That's quite possible, like I said there were clues that pointed at both scenarios being correct. Some of them might just be from sloppy continuality when they made the movie. However, I think just given the information in the movie, it is impossible to figure out what really happened conclusively. Which personally I think was part of the point and something that made the movie more than just another action flick.

I agree it was definately more than just another action movie, but it was shot the way it was to keep the audience guessing throughout the film. The clues explained by Verhoeven are, in no particular order; at the end of the film it fades to white instead of fading to black, symbolizing that Arnold is trying to wake up but he can't. Another clue is when he's being shown the alien artifacts in the beginning, one of them is the reactor, which is part of his dream. Also the salesman tells him exactly how his trip will go. Then the man trying to wake him up tells him the walls of reality will come crashing down and then the walls around him literally get blown down. There's like 6 or 7 more but I can't remember. I'll have to watch it again. But it's based on the famous short story 'We Can Remember It For You Wholesale' by Phillip Dick and in the story it's not an abstract ending.

 

[AFA]

Terminator, and Last Action Hero was hysterical.

Predator, Terminator, and True Lies.

I can't believe no one has said "Hercules in New York", that movie was wicked!
