Arnold Schwarzenegger vs Sylvester Stallone

Then it took some while to bulk up. He was rather thin when he played a nonspeaking part of a subway hood in one of Woody Allen's 70's films. I can't recall which one it was. It's a big contrast to how he looked later.

 

Stallone for Rocky, and the really great job that he did in Copland. Arnie just doesn't have the acting chops that Sly did (does).

 

Maybe he had to look like that for the film? I don't know, but when you see him in Lords Of Flatbush you could definitely tell he was hitting the weights. You also have to remember, later he had some help.

 

You man Arnold? Sly didn't get into body-building until Rocky III and the eighties. He was already an established writer, director and actor by then.

 

I love Stallone in Rocky and it is a wonderful film but I never really cared for anything else that he has starred in or made himself.
As for Swartzy, I am a big fan of the Terminator series and Predator so for that he would get my vote. What I like about him also is his gentler voice (like with Clint) which gives a nice opposition to his muscle image.

 

Again, prove that too me, cause I haven't seen a shred of proof of that, no one has ever stated on record that they used a cgi double in Terminator 3. I'm well aware he go completely out of shape after the movie and when be became governor, but even in the video I posted you can clearly see he worked out for the role and was in great shape at the time.

 

"Bananas"...

 

What? Three pages and no one remembered this matchup already happened?

 

He loses major points for Stop or My Mom Will Shoot! so it's about a draw

 

Several years ago, Sly was talking about writing and directing a film about Edgar Allen Poe. THAT would be interesting (and unexpected) from Stallone. I don't have any doubts he could pull it off. As opposed to some of his onscreen characters, Sly is very articulate and insightful in interviews.

 

Question Who wears the biggest shoe lifts?

 

Have to go with Stallone.... He also does more directing, writing, etc.....

 

Thanks for the cool pix !

 

Use it or lose it.

 

that pic is from early on shooting, the naked scene in the film at the beginning was shot at the very end of filming so arnie could get back into peak condition. theres plenty of pics to support this, they did not use a cgi face in t3 that was t4

 

and i don't like any stallone films so arnie for me

 

Stallone all the way. Never been a big Arnie fan, although I have enjoyed some of his better movies.

 

So far (bulging) neck n' neck.

 

Arnie for "Conan" - NO ONE could have done that better ......

 

In light of his recent activities, I think he IS Conan the Barbarian.

 

Sly isn't a great actor, but he wrote "Rocky." Arnold has never done anything like that.

Overall though I like the Schwarzenegger films better than "Rambo" and Sly's other stuff.

 

I find their stuff hard to watch, but from what I have seen, Sly is a better 'actor' but Arnie has the better bunch of films (notwithstanding Sly's two or three real movies)

 

Let's see, Hercules in New York or The Lords of Flatbush...it's a toss-up. Their careers both went downhill after that.

 

Stallone, on the basis of Rocky alone. Wrote/acted a classic almost straight out of the gate. Nothing Schwazenegger ever did can come close to that. Or Stallone for that matter.

 

Rubbish. Prove it otherwise.
