Am I the only one?


Who thinks this is the BEST movie Arnold has ever done? Besides, "The Terminator" had been done before in the 1973 sci-fi classic "Westworld". I saw this film THREE times in the theater back in 1987.

Run!! Get to zee choppa!!

Believe me, you're not the only one - and I have a hard time saying that between this, The Terminator, Total Recall, and True Lies. Predator just has that quality of action and sci fi that Arnold is so good at and he just nailed the part here.

..for me it Total Recall, still so under rated as a sci-fi thriller..and Arnold's performance in that is impressive still. A confused man trying to find his real idenity.

..Terminator is the role Arnold was born to play. Predator is just an amazing movie on every level, the direction, visual effects, the simple dialog, and gung ho action scequences, and of course he Predator himself..created by Stan Winston ..RIP.

Agree, Predator and Terminator are for me among the best action films every created. Arnold is so perfect for those roles as well.

Arnold I think also shone in True Lies and Total Recall, but not as much as in Predator and Terminator.

I also really like Arnold in Twins and Junior (especially), just for a little comedic relief.

reply

Agreed. Also thought Arnold showed some range with Kindergarten Cop. Only one that was kinda weird was The Running Man.

reply

Conan was probably the best, at least acting-wise. The moments are subtle, but he does shine... more so in Barbarian than Destroyer, since the latter was kinda tarted up for the audience.
He should have made Conan The King, instead of churning out more crappy Terminator flicks...

Its still so hard to decide between this, Terminator and Kindergarten Cop for me. Also True Lies, but that is beaten out by these 3

If anything, this movie's underrated. It's simply one of the manliest, most badass movies ever made.

I agree 100%.
