I thought he and his dad had a beautiful moment at the end of his dad’s life.

Arnold also had some issues with back home, like wanting to leave it behind, and especially with his brother dying.

they are iconic. As a kid, growing up in the 90s, i was a arnold fan. Huge fan. I couldnt really understand Sly at all.

These days, im more of a Sly guy.

Sly is definitely the better actor, but Arnie is a lot more charming

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

yeah but again it's not like he makes the movie.. it's the bat shit premise and over the top action people come for.. not me, but people

as a matter of fact, Stallone has historically been very hands on with his productions, from early project development through release. This is covered in depth in Powerhouse
