Last Action Hero is super underrated too.

You know I've never actually seen that. Is it worth watching for the 1st time at 40 yrs old?
Your conclusion is hard to argue
Not sure. It might be just because of the meta humor (not in a modern film kind of way). It’s entertaining so I don’t think you’ll be wasting your time.
Absolutely. It’s a celebration of Arnold’s career and it’s directed by Funster Hard director, John McTiernan, Gowanster.
Lotta fawkin cameos in that thing, Voster.

It's on my list, Danta.
Stallone has had some stinkers but I’d say Grudge Match was the worst. They couldn’t even photoshop a decent poster
At this point DeNiro has more bad movies than good ones - something I didn’t think would be possible 20 years ago.

Stallonester has a lot of shit, but I think he's got more good side films outside of Rambo and Rocky than Arnold has outside of Funsternator, funster.
People tend to forget the complete trash Arnold has been in.

Fawk I forgot about this one
Joey Diaz was wonderful in it.
I prefer Stallone over Arnold just because he wrote and directed a majority of his projects - something Arnold could never do. If you get a chances there’s some good videos on YouTube of him directing / writing / sitting in the editing bay etc. which are interesting because you see how passionate he is for film.
Having said that I’m wondering how bad the new Expendables will be. I know Sly made it clear it’s his last one and he’s not in it much possibly because he knows it’s shit, I read it was written as a Statham movie and later re-tooled to be an Expendables sequel. The director hasn’t done much and the cinematography / action scenes look direct to video and obvious cheap sets. Somehow it cost 100 million to make.
Arnold had an impressive run of box office hits - at least over 10 years which is saying something for a bodybuilder from Austria who had a thick accent and a long name. But even before he went into politics he was starting to fall off. Now who knows if he’ll ever have another good one.

I loved Stallone as a kid but holy shit did he make some duds.
I’ll vote Lock Up since I don’t think it’s been mentioned yet here.
Rambo 3 and 5 really suck too.

Yeah that's something I'll give to the Slyster, Housester. He's got an Academy Award Winning film under his belt that he wrote, when those awards actually meant something. The last Rocky film was decent enough, but Rambo 4 was fucking great and he was well into his 50s in that.
Arnold is just doing direct to video shit now while Stallone is mostly doing shit that he himself is writing, directing and producing.
When you look at both of their careers, Arnold has done way less since he jumped into politics as you said when he was falling off. I really only care about the first two Funsternators, Predator, Commando and The Last Action Hero. The rest of his stuff could be tossed into a dumpster. I never got the appeal of the Conan the Funstarian films.
Stallone has six Rocky films, and even the ones you would consider bad are still very watchable. All the Rambos are solid, even the last one with his ridiculous level of violence made up for it. Cobra, Over the Top, Cliffhanger, Judge Dredd, Demolition Man, The Specialist, and Cop Land are all watchable films.
What does Arnold really have beyond the ones I mentioned? Eraser? The 6th Day? Junior? Kindergarten Cop? Red Heat? Twins? I never got the appeal of Total Recall. Gave it one watch and was meh through the whole thing. Running Man stinks.
Outside of T2 and The Last Action Hero, the only other 90s film any good is True Lies. Stallone has several in the 90s that were decent enough.
Even though Rambo 4 was a solid way to end, I was actually excited for Rambo 5. Rambo going up against the Cartel should've been awesome. Instead the movie was boring as fuck besides the last 15 minutes. It's been so long since I've seen 3 I can't remember anything about it.
Still, Rambo 5 is far from one of the worst he's done.
John Landis really fell off after the whole Twilight Zone debacle. Coming to America was good because Eddie Murphy was in his prime then. His son is equally , if not more goofy.
Cobra was garbage
Fawwwk great minds think alot
The movie Eraser while being very dated and not talked about much years later surprisingly made a ton of money, little under 250 million and that was 1996 movie ticket prices. I remember End Of Days wasn’t as big of a hit they expected - even having a new Guns N Roses song on the soundtrack. After that 6th day didn’t do much and collateral damage had to be delayed due to 9/11 because it had a terrorist attack in the beginning.
