The last action hero


Who'd going to 'replace' him? Great actor and a genuine action icon. Is he the last of his breed?

reply

What action? Its all artifical looking stunts compiled in a computer. I don't call that action.

Are you being serious?

Every single flight scene in Maverick had actors in planes. And as for Mission Impossible, along with John Wick, is one of the few franchises that do as much action in camera as possible, along with letting its leads take on many stunts.

Arnie and Sly had doubles for 90 percent of their action their whole careers.

Meh. Hes got nothing on Arnold, Stallone, and Willis. Then again, the R rated action genre is dead now.

I didn't mean to detract from those guys, (although when you say he's got 'nothing' on them, I'm not sure you'll find a huge amount of agreement - he's an outstanding action movie star and actor) when I said 'last' I meant he's still apparently going strong while they not so much.

I've never gotten into the Mission Impossible Movies. I've only seen the first 2 and it's been a long time ago.
