Sylvester Stallone vs Arnold Schwarzenegger

[Knicks101]

Whose movies are better?

I'd go with Arnold.

The Italian Stallion

[DonD13]

the correct answer is Stallone.

the Rocky and Rambo series alone make him immortal.

in contrast to the big homie Arnie, Stallone actually can act.

Over the Top, Demolition Man, Tango and Cash and Cliffhanger are just some other classics.

Terminator is the only thing big Arnold has. and playing a robot is all he can do convincingly.

Arnold.

What we see today are emasculated heroes and if you think today is bad Stallone was the original.

Action heroes don't need to act. They just have to have "the look" and the alpha in them. I know it is an overused term but it's true. Did any of the other actors who played James Bond, had to be good at acting?

[Knicks101]

How you gonna leave out Conan The Barbarian, Predator, Total Recall, True Lies?

Don't forget Jingle All the Way, Kindergarten Cop, The Running Man, Commando. Don talking stupid.

lol @ Stallone and acting.

He's a great writer but not a great actor.

[9erempiree]

The most underrated Arnold flick of all time and I have it in the top 5 and Stallone got the influence for Expendables from this flick. This was OG.

Arnie still has Predator, Commando, Total Recall and True Lies. All of those are better than Over the Top, Demolition Man, Tango and Cash and Cliffhanger. You also forgot Copland. Which is one of Sly's best movies. Nighthawks is solid also.

Sly is the better actor. His acting in Rocky, Rocky Balboa and Copland are better acting jobs than what Arnie has given. Arnie has never had a decent "performance".

[9erempiree]

Those stupid puns and one liners can only be achieved by Arnold and he makes it look so easy and good. It's not cheesy with Arnold therefore he's not really acting. Stallone can act but Arnold is the better star. He doesn't have to try as hard as Stallone.

[Hotlantadude81]

I have a soft spot for Over the Top also. But I wouldn't call it a really good movie or anything.

[Trollsmasher]

I find it funny how different these two actually are, considering they are both seen just as archetypal action superstars.

Sly has always tried create something more than just action flicks. People forget that Rocky got 10 AA nominations and was basically born solely out of his brain. There are more deeper themes in the first 10 minutes of Rambo than in the entirety of Arnold's career. With Sly you get action flicks, movies somewhere in the middle and even straight up "attempts" at Oscars like Cop Land.

Arnold on the other hand did not really give a shit about what kind of movies he did, quality-wise. In his biography he says he did choose carefulyl between the scripts, but he really mainly cared about becoming the biggest star in Hollywood. And if it was going to happen through bad puns said in thick Austrian accent, then so be it. He also always had a shitton of side activities, from bodybuilding to estate market and politics.

[iTare]

Arnold has the best resume of any actor

So it's him

But that's no slight to stallone who also has some really tight movies
