Stallone or Schwarzenegger?

For what? For anything!

My thoughts: Stallone is a far better writer and actor than Schwarzenegger, but Schwarzenegger has done a lot of things in his life that are outside of movies. Stallone doesn't have that kind of reach. Also...Stallone had his pudding.

As much as I'd like to say "it's a tie! I love them both dearly!" it's not true.

STALLONE.
 
Love them both, how can you not?

But in terms of movies, i think Terminator, Terminator 2 and Predator are better than anything Stallone has made.

Granted Stallone never worked with Cameron, tough he did write the screenplay with him for Rambo 2, which was a great movie

Stallone is also a better actor, in fact he is better than Van Damme, Sagal, Norris, Lundgren and all the rest combined. There are times where Sly can really pull it off. Basically you can get "feels" from certain Stallone films like Rocky, Arnold i just badassery
 
Arnold.

To be completely honest, this comparison thing does not go very far. They are radically different personalities, their careers are different and their overall training philosophies have been different as well.

And in conclusion, one is a bona fide professional bodybuilder, the other one isn't.
 
Stallone is the better (dramatic)actor, i.e. Rocky 1, Cop Land, Rambo 1, but Arnold, overall had the better action flicks, i.e. Predator, Terminator 2, True Lies, etc.
 
Stallone is the better actor, and is a pretty good writer and director. He is all around the more talented guy. It was also more satisfying watching Stallone kill versus Arnold.

With that said Schwarzenegger in his prime was so charismatic and watchable that it makes his films of the 80s and 90s so much more watchable. His filmography is a LOT higher in quality all around than Stallone's.

But, to be fair, Stallone of today is a freak of nature that would fucking wreck modern Arnold, and Stallone's comeback since the glorious Rocky VI has been incredible, while Arnold's comeback has been pretty lame.
 
Arnold because he was in movies with production values that blew my mind.

Arnold action movies were like the last great 80's/90's action movies to me. It was an era.

They can't make popcorn blockbusters like that anymore. Dumb action movies these days with those kind of production values are just insulting or take themselves too serious.

Nothing has come close to Terminator 2, Total Recall and True Lies.
 
I love the first rambo movie and all the rockys (1-4 and balboa)

But Schwarzenegger without a doubt. True Lies & Terminator 2 are flat out amazing movies. Plus he has this amazing comedic touch which makes him fun to watch in otherwise terrible movies(Batman & Robin)
 
What's Arnold's worst movie? Does it compare to:

Arnold:
Professional Bodybuilder, nude model, actor, director, producer, businessman, investor, governor and got his ass married into the Kennedy clan.
Stallone:
Actor, screenwriter, film director

Schwarzeneggeregger all the way.

edit: kindergarten cop almost tips the favour in the other direction, but only almost.

Stallone also did porn. You forgot to mention that.
 
Arnie. Sorry, Sly. I loved Copland and Rambo, but theyre not the movies that fueled my childhood imagination. Terminator, T2, Predator, Total Recall, Twins. Arnie's dominance over the sci-fi genre during his time puts him over the edge for me.
 
Schwarzenegger every time. He had a comedy side to him and never took himself too seriously, unlike Stallone.

Not to mention he was in some of my favourite movies of all time - and they wouldn't have been the same without him. Whether it's Total Recall, The Terminator 1/2, True Lies, Predator or The Running Man. And I'm glad he's returned to Hollywood.
 
The most recent Rambo is just too good not to give it to Stallone.

Also... Stallone can actually act.


Edit: But I love both of them.
 
rocky is above all the characters of arnold together,people still climb the fucking stairs every day

stallone is a director,writer,etc etc

i love arnold but stallone is a better actor by a mile

Huge fan of both. Gonna side with Arnold in terms of the films he was in. Terminator 2 and Predator are the best action films and among my favourite films of all time. Plus his exploits in bodybuilding was (and still is) immensely fascinating to me. Reading his autobiography, he's lived a hugely varied and successful life - and is still going at it hard. It's insane.

I do love me some Stallone though. A talented actor with some great and memorable franchises.
