Was Arnold Schwarzenegger ever the number one star in Hollywood?

[Ukbrotha]

Rock is not in the same league as Arnold. Arnold has legit Classics and great movies. I cant think of a great Rock movie.

Thread is actually laughable.

I didn't even know The Rock was seen as the number one star in Hollywood lol. Probably haven't seen a movie with him like 10 years. Def not in Arnold's league.

"its not a tumor !"

“Remember Sully when I promised to kill you last ”.

“See you at the party, Richter! ”,

"ill be back "

"Hasta la vista baby"


"let off some steam...bennet "

"fukk you a$$hole "


"Whats the matter, CIA got you pushing pencils "

All of these movies are classic movies but for the purpose of this discussion classic means above good.

Good Movies - Kindergarten cop, Last Action hero , True lies, , Twins, (and if it's allowed Pumping iron)

Classic Movies - Total recall, running man, Commando, conan

Iconic movies - T1, T2, Predator

Good list but you gotta bump true lies in the classic ...total recall in iconic

He has more range..no doubt...his Black Adam movie will be interesting but of course Terminator 2 is like the Godfather of action movies.

Rock will never have a movie reach Conan level let a lone sniff T2

Rock couldn't even do Die Hard right

You dont know your Arnie history?!

 

[Damnshow]

Arnold is one of the biggest movie stars of all time, everyone around the world recognizes him. There is no shame in losing to Arnold...Rock is still a pretty good actor.

He did it in the biggest action movie era of the 80s/90s. Today's action movies are lacking, all that great budget but their movies are still incomplete. The low budget Indonesian action movies are outperforming some of the biggest Hollywood action movies, in terms of quality action scenes.

No doubt but he will continue to be #1 right now. Ok?

I really wish some of you were alive to experience how huge T2 was. Yea I'm older and witnessed it first hand (my sister worked at AMC back in the day) but the hype for this movie was bigger than just about anything I've ever seen. When that teaser trailer dropped people lost their shyt b/c no one knew a sequel was coming.

He’s only #1 because the talent pool is so trash. I can make a case statham has a better resume than rock
