    For me it's close between Predator, Terminator (Original) and Total Recall, but I pick Predator also. It just has the edge for me.

    Predator I for sure, but I'm really not a fan of most of his movies. I did love the first two Terminator films, & the third was OK, which is fantastic by Schwarzenegger's (it ain't hard, Sly!) typically abysmal standards. Only other movie I can recall off-hand I enjoyed was Total Recall, but that was as a kid.

    Most of his films aren't even poor, they're downright atrocious. I consider Schwarzenegger possibly the worst actor ever to prove a commercial success (Robert Pattinson is still young, though).

    That was True Lies & I couldn't watch beyond the always painful Tom Arnold using a lampost to deflect machine gun fire. LOL.

    No love for Red Heat?

    None, sorry. I put what I consider to be his best 9 films...I only had 10 choices to play with. IMO neither Red Heat, Twins or Kindergarten cop deserved to be mentioned.

    Terminators 1&2 are different level from the rest. Out of the rest my favorite is Total Recall. COmmando is also fun because of its sheer stupidy. I hate Running Man because the original novel was ripped in it

    It was between T2 and Total recall for me.

    I gave the nod to T2. Seeing it in the theatre when it came out could have influenced my choice.

    Ironic that they missed the best line in the whole movie.

    Rae Dawn Chong "What'd you do with Sully?"

    Arnold "I let him go."

    :lol::lol::lol:

    Commando.... along with "The Last Dragon" are my two all time favorite "stupid" action flicks. Both have extremely high rewatchability.

    "Bruce Leroy catches bullets with his teeth? CATCHES BULLETS.... WITH HIS TEETH!?!?!? Nigga please!"

    :lol::lol:

    Sho'Nuff is arguably my all time fav character in any movie. And I'd venture to say for the brothas, that'd hold true for nearly all of us.

    Sho'Nuff, and Vanity's incredibly sexy self serving as eye candy are what MADE The Last Dragon great.

    And SPEAKING of Vanity.... "Action Jackson" is another action film with great quotables, and is so funny and stupid thats its fun to watch.

    Agreed with every word and thought in this post.


    I was literally IN LOVE with Vanity back in those days. She had the perfect face. PERFECT.

    Sho'Nuff was just the CLASSIC character!:bears:

    Commando and Predator are the most entertaining and have the most replay value IMO.

    I can watch those two movies again and again.
