What would the world of action movies be like without Arnold? The Terminator, Conan The Barbarian, Predator, Total Recall, Kindergarten Cop, and The Running Man just to name a few make up this world famous Austrian dude's long list of popular guy movies. His eight or so Mr. Universe Titles and controversial political career aside, what do you think of this guy? Is he great on the silver screen or is he just a jacked up dude that loves to draw attention to himself? What's your favorite movie with him in it. My personal favorite is Total Recall, although Predator nearly topped my list. Finally, what do you think of his latest movie (Sabotage) that will be coming out in April?
No one mentioned Commando? That's my favorite movie, a little over the top but which action movie isn't? True Lies is also one of my favorite. I saw the original French version years before and I can say that's an even better remake than the original, which is rarely the case.
[quote]Total Recall and Predator have a great mix of suspense and action. /quote] I could not agree more. Predator and Total Recall are, in my opinion, the two best Arnold movies of all time. It can never decide which is better. Total Recall is the most original, but Predator is the most action-packed.

Thanks, wasn't aware there is one. Duly noted. The action scenes there (for an otherwise pretty dorky movie, if I recall) are pretty kapow, aren't they. (Or were, for their time?) Plus, well, Jamie Lee Curtis.
What was that one movie he did around Christmas time where he was looking for an action figure or something?
Jingle All The Way? I reckon. Plot sounded familiar, but I don't think I actually know this one. Maybe in some duly lost hour
ps How's about a union strike to stop all these remakes being made, say over once (as in a 1 movie. Maybe. On exceptional grounds. Such as, um, actually having something to add) every ten years.

It's a kick-a$$ movie and Jamie Lee Curtis is pretty good in her dorky wife role. Also, you can see a young Eliza Dushku who will later become the babe from The New Guy movie and a few more similar ones.
I haven't seen Commando but I have seen clips of it. Seems like a real "man movie" by the looks of it. haha.
That's the kind of movie you want to watch with your friends. The over the top scenes are the coolest and there are quite a few funny moments too.
Has anyone mentioned Twins? It's a pretty good movie and Kelly Preston is OMG, so hot in it! :O
Kindergarten Cop was surprisingly good. At first I thought, man he's getting soft to play a role like this but it's actually a pretty funny movie at times.
