I knew I forgot one. But that’s 1 certified hit on his own in about 10 years.
Was Arnold Schwarzenegger ever the number one star in Hollywood?

It’s a different environment now though. Audiences don’t really flock to see one star; we can see them on social media all damn day. Audiences will come out to see them interact with other stars tho. Rock just playing the hand he’s dealt
eraser is so underratered. i remember seeing it in a theater in vegas and that shyt was dope.
I forgot about Twins and Kindergarten Cop era.

More often than not I tend to take that L.
Yup. Helluva fukking run. Despite barely able to speak comprehensible English he dropped hit after hit. He was the king of entertaining movies.Ahnuld had one of the Goat runs in the 80s-90s. When you think of man movies it's him, Stallone, and Van Damme
Stallone was right behind him. Van Damme was right behind those two. Honorable mention to Steven Segal. He had a dominant run until he became a fat man and started doing Navy Seal straight to Netflix movies
man the stallone v arnie beef is some 
rumor was that arnie "made" stallone do Stop or my mom will shoot by lying about it...saying he was going to do it, so stallone scooped it up first

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
I think Rock can be every bit the star Arnold was. Some will say The Rock is bigger and his films made more money even when adjusted for inflation, but The Rock does not choose anything groundbreaking. To me, he comes from the Will Smith school of picking movies. Will has just fortunate enough to pick better movies.
Rock definitely has the appeal, the charisma, the physique. It's just a shame he picks these soft PG13s or he attaches himself to other people's property.
I almost feel if the story was tweaked, he could've made some legendary films.
What if Doom was produced and had more of a Total Recall/Evil Dead feel to it.
What if Central Intelligence was a Hard R, buddy cop film.
To answer the question, I think Arnold was arguably the biggest star in Hollywood from 87 to 94. There were a couple in his orbit, Eddie, Deniro, Pacino...of course Stallone.
I don't even think this is true, Rock been the #1 star and is competing with Vin Diesel, Tom Cruise, Denzel Washington, Will Smith and the fukking Avengers. The fact he's been #1 for any period when he's competing against Marvel, DC, Star Wars and other established juggernauts speaks volumes about how well he's done so far.

When The Rock, or anyone for that matter, beats that then someone @ me. Please.
I'm surprised Arnold didn't get into directing more. His Tales From The Crypt episode "The Switch" was solid.

This one percent facts. I can’t name one rock movie I liked. They all feel the same

He would if he'd ever make a fukking sequel to The Rundown. shyt could've been his "foot in the door" series. He followed it up with that whack ass Walking Tall instead.
