Sylvester Stallone Reveals His Favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger Movies
Ah, the Stallone-Schwarzenegger feud—a saga as epic as the cinematic universes they’ve dominated. Once fierce adversaries, this dynamic duo has traded punches both on and off-screen for decades. But in an unexpected twist, Stallone recently turned film critic to discuss his favorite Schwarzenegger movies during a live streaming event. From rivals to reviewers, folks, this is character development Hollywood can’t even script!
A Stroll Down Bad-Boy Boulevard
What’s the one thing more riveting than a Stallone or Schwarzenegger movie? The real-life rivalry between these two action moguls. In one corner, we’ve got Stallone, feeding journalists tales of Schwarzenegger’s alleged Nazi sympathies. And in the other, Schwarzenegger cleverly bamboozling Stallone into making what’s been dubbed “one of the worst films in the entire solar system,” “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.”
Flash forward to today, and you’ll see that these frenemies have come a long way. They’ve co-starred in new episodes and series like the Expendables franchise and seem to relish the spotlight together. The question isn’t who won the battle anymore; it’s about who’s going to review the other’s movie next!
The Grand Reveal: Stallone’s Schwarzenegger Picks
You might be itching to know which Schwarzenegger films made Stallone’s must-watch list. During a candid Discord AMA in 2022, he unabashedly admitted to loving “Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” even going so far as to roast Schwarzenegger a bit. “You’ve got it easy, buddy! You stroll down the road, punch folks, and walk away unscathed! My characters? They’re more like punching bags,” he remarked.
But wait, there’s more! Stallone also gave a standing ovation to Schwarzenegger’s “True Lies.” According to our Rocky star, the movie is a smorgasbord of “wit, romance, charm, and exhilarating action, all tied together by a phenomenal director.” In essence, it’s Schwarzenegger’s magnum opus in Stallone’s eyes.
From Icons to Critics: The Full Circle
The beauty of this evolving relationship lies in its unpredictability. Just when you think you’ve seen it all—bam!—Stallone comes out, hat in hand, acknowledging that Schwarzenegger nailed it with some of his films. What does this signal for their relationship moving forward? Well, they’ve already gone from despising each other to sharing the screen. Perhaps Stallone will even feature in a Schwarzenegger-directed film someday?
Conclusion: A Cinematic Bromance We Never Knew We Needed
As new seasons in their lives unfold and quests for the next big roles continue, one can’t help but wonder: will Stallone and Schwarzenegger unite for a blockbuster hit, solidifying their newly-formed friendship? Or maybe, just maybe, they’ll launch a YouTube series where they critique each other’s work, episode by episode. Either way, it’s a compelling chapter in an already legendary tale.
If this doesn’t put a whole new spin on the phrase “friendly competition,” we don’t know what will. So grab your popcorn, folks, because the Stallone-Schwarzenegger saga is far from its closing credits. And for now, let’s celebrate their newfound camaraderie—one that’s richer than any award or box office record. After all, in a world of action and cut-throat competition, it’s friendships like these that truly make for a happy ending.
So, what’s your take? Are you Team Stallone or Team Schwarzenegger? We’d love to know!
