Absolutely hilarious.
Thats Bill Paxtion; poor guy...he's been killed by arnie twice(he was one of the thugs in T-1, carsales-men.) Also killed by a predator, xenomorph in aliens, etc....
He's like got the crappiest character shields ever....(he dies in every movie he's in.)

Not every movie he survive in Twister and a few other movies i don't remember the titles.

How about these?

Zaia, if ever you see an Arnie movie, make it Commando. It has Arnie in a speedo. What isn't there to love about that?

Bzzzt, wrong. Z, hon, if you watch only one Arnie movie in your life, make it The Villian. It stars Kirk Douglas and Ann Margeret along with Mr. Mucles himself.

Its a live action wilde cyote cartoon.

Anyway,

The Villian/T2/Total Recall are all in a tie for #1

Predator/True Lies/Runningman/Commando are a close second.

The Terminator. Best. Action movie. EVER. Followed by T2, and (other Schwarzenegger titles) Total Recall, The 6th Day, Predator.

And of course, Jingle All The Way.

Conan, Total Recall, Predator, the Terminators films.

My favourite quote from True Lies.

"Is there any I can classify this as anything other than a total disaster?"

"Well... there are different degrees of totality."

Oh, hold up--did "End of Days" have Gabriel Byrne in it? I may have seen some of that one...

I

Gabriel Byrne. *purrs*

He played Satan in that, didn't he? I always thought chicks were attracted to evil, powerful men...

I think he played a guy who dressed in all black who was posessed. Satan was played by some CGI.

Mmmmmm...Gabriel Bryne as a demon....mmmmmmm....

So, yes, I've seen about 15 minutes of "End of Days" as well, and I'd rank that higher than T2, but obviously that's be for Gabriel, not Arnie, so...yeah. There it is.

I think I have to agree with you there. He has that strong onscreen presence, very powerful.

Your title fits you well. "Fallen Angel" indeed.

I agree anyway, Gabriel Byrne is excellent. He was in "Usual Suspects" and kicked arse... well, for the most part... *restrains himself from spoiling the ending...*

My mother loves Kindergarten Cop.. probably because she's a teacher

"On second thought.. take the gun."

Last Action Hero was funny;

'I've shot a man and I did it on purpose'
'I've murdered someone and I want to confess' Evil Movie Villian in The Real World

I like most of Arnies movies but because i find T2 and predator two of the best movies ever, these come on top.

His action comedies like Last action hero (seriously i dont understand why it did bad) True Lies were very amusing. Erasor was imo his last _good_ movie. The railgun was one of the coolest guns _ever_ ("They missed"

). Didnt care much of his movies after they (end of days, the 6th day) altough T3 was ok.

Been yeeeaaars i saw running man star. What i vaguely remember is that the black costume of the prisonguards was a ripoff of the Star Wars fleet regiment costume right?

Apart from Hercules i musta seen them all.

Tsyroc · Post by **Tsyroc** » 2004-05-07 11:16am

I've never seen Stay Hungry or Pumping Iron otherwise I think I've seen at least part of all of his other movies (Never made it through all of Hercules In New York

)

Those commercials are hilarious! "Yosh!"
My cousin in Japan kept sending me funny commercials, many with celebs like Leo DiCaprio, etc. But the weirdest damn WTF commercials were for a product called 5/8ths Chips. In it, two geeky guys in white spandex contort their bodies while sfx makes it look like they're breaking their legs and arms horribly (extra joints) while they scream jibberish. Apparently it's some sort of cracker...?

Ahnuld wasn't in Predator 2, which was probably the movie's biggest fault. It had Danny Glover instead.

Actually, I think he was trying to say that T2 and Predator are two of the best movies ever.

I liked him better as 'Bob' in the Le Fem Nikita rip off.
