Favorite Non-Terminator or T2

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

So, aside from Terminator, what's your favorite one of his movies?

 

Personally, I'm a die-hard Conan the Barbarian mark, as he continues playing the wicked badass, only with a gigantic sword, and cast of fantasy quest-type cohorts.

 

I didn't include his comedy stuff on the poll, mainly because it's all terrible, and I doubt anyone's a die-hard fan of Raw Deal or Pumping Iron.

 

I know that some people also liked Last Action Hero for whatever reason, which is just baffling to me, as it was pretty awful.

1)Pumping Iron

 

2)The Predator

 

3)Commando

[Guest Flyboy]

True Lies. I loved that movie for some odd reason.

[Guest ISportsFan]

Where's Kindergarten Cop? How about Twins?

 

Very disappointing. I know you didn't include his comedy stuff, but those were classics!

 

I picked Eraser, just for the catchphrase.

I like Commando best out of his non-Terminator movies. You can't get many better one liners than what Arnold had in that movie. Put that together with Arnold kicking some ass and you have a great movie.

[Guest DrTom]

True Lies is where it's at. Good action sequences, a terrorist cocksucker gets his comeuppance, and Jaime Lee Curtis dances a striptease. What more do you need in a movie?

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

I went with Commando on guilty pleasure grounds, although True Lies and Predator are both really entertaining and decent films from him. I don't mind Running Man or Total Recall, but neither has worn that well over time. Still, Richard Dawson gives a hell of a performance in Running Man and I would dare say it's one of the most underrated supporting performances of the '80's along with Roddy McDowell's Petere St. Vincent in the first Fright Night.

Don't forget Eliza Dushku in her pre-pubescent glory.

 

Um...

 

Forget I said that.

CROM!

 

Conan it is for me. True Lies and Total Recall second and third respectively.

 

Conan the Destroyer? Worst Arnold movie ever.

[Guest kkktookmybabyaway]

I know you didn't include his comedy stuff, but those were classics!

"It's not a tumor" -- One of my all-time favorite lines.

 

Oh, I picked Predator...

[Guest Mik at Cornell]

My favorite is Kindgergarten Cop. I know it's not his BEST movie, but it's a classic.

 

'It's not a tumor."

"Boys have a penis, and girls have a vagina."

 

And the kids are all cute. Great movie.

[Guest NCJ]

I love alot of those movies listed, but Connan wins on two reasons, it is totally different than any other major Arnold movie, and it was one of the greatest castings for a film ever. Arnold was perfect for that movie at that time. He was Conan. The only other time he has been cast so perfectly is Terminator.

 

And just so you know his sword is the coolest looking one in a movie. Only Highlander is close.

[Guest Flyboy]

Don't forget Eliza Dushku in his pre-pubescent glory.

And, I thought Jamie Lee Curtis was supposed to be the hermaphrodite.

[The Dames]

.....My bad.

[PsychoDriver]

I love all Arnold's movies (Yes, Including RAW DEAL, Red Heat, Last Action Hero, Twins, K-Cop and even Junior)

 

But on this list I'll say Predator

[Guest Army Eye]

True Lies. It's BETTER than the Terminator movies.

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

I'm aghast at the lack of love for Total Recall...

[The Dames]

I'm aghast at the lack of love for Total Recall...

"Welcome to Johnny Cab, where can we take you today?"

 

"DRIVE...DRIVE!"

 

"What destination?"

 

*See bad guys coming*

 

"SHIT...SHIT!!!"

 

"That is an invalid address. Please-"

 

"ARGHH!!" *Rips Johnny Cab out of the front seat and takes over*

 

GOLD.

I honestly think I have seen more of his comedy than action ones. Even the big name action ones, I haven't seen. I love him in comedies. I am going to see some more of his action soon, I got sent a free copy of the 2 Disc 6th Day. How is Collateral Damage? I can get that really cheap, but I wasn't sure.

[Guest El Satanico]

Last Action Hero was suppose to be awful, crappy, cheesy, nonsensical or whatever word you want to call it.

 

Twas a masterful parody of action movies!

 

Tis a great and majorly misunderstood movie.

[Guest Choken One]

Last Action Hero was an comedy in my mind...No one got that it was a Parody...

 

 

But True Lies is Arnold's greatest acting job...

[TheOriginalOrangeGoblin]

I love all his movies. Arnies one of my favorite actors.

 

My fav non-Terminator are:

 

1. Predator

2. Twins

3. True Lies

4. Total Recall

5. Running Man

6. Commando

7. Kindergarten Cop

8. Red Heat

9. Eraser

10. Last Action Hero

Where's the love for Jingle All The Way???

Edited June 19, 2003 by El Gigante

[Guest FatKane]

Where the fuck is Kindergarten Cop?

 

"I'M A COP YOU IDIOT"

"Who is your daddy and what does he do?"

"STOP WHINING"

"You lack discipline"

 

It's the most quoted piece of literature next to Shakespeare's Hamlet.

[Guest Karnage]

End of Days. Him shilling it on Smackdown was cool too.

[Guest Dangerous A]

I went with True Lies because I had a thing for Eliza Dushku BACK THEN! I just knew she'd be a hottie. Add her to Jamie Lee Curtis and Tia Carrerre looking fine and you've got yourself a hot movie on top of top notch action.

 

Predator, Commando, and Total Recall all have a place in my heart because there were so many memorable one liners.

[Guest Big McLargeHuge]

Close between True Lies and Predator, but TL got the nod.

 

Eraser was solid. The rest are kinda meh. Oh and I love Last Action Hero.

[Guest Razor Roman]

Where's the love for Jingle All The Way???

Wasn't a then-unknown Paul Wight cast as the giant Santa Claus in that movie?

[Rendclaw]

I loved Conan, I can never get enough of that movie.

 

Eraser, Predator, Commando, and Raw Deal were all good, the him wielding the Phoenix Sword has them all beat.

[Guest cabbageboy]

I've actually been on an Arnold kick of late. I put True Lies down as his best non Terminator movie. That said, I've been watching Commando all the damn time lately for some reason. It's funny as fuck.

 

"I don't need the gun John!!!!!"

 

You can't beat Vernon Wells with the leather pants and chain vest.
