As cinephiles, debates amongst each other go with the territory! Whether it’s determining if Die Hard is a Christmas movie (which it is!) or who shot first (Han did), but one of the most important, widely-discussed topics that stand the test of time is — who is the greatest action hero of all time?! The Austrian Oak known as Arnold Schwarzenegger? Or the Italian Stallion aka Sylvester Stallone? If we had the chance to give Mount Rushmore an action movie facelift, there is no doubt that two of those faces would be solidified with the handsome mugs of Arnold and Sly.
Since the 70s, these men have been kicking ass and taking names with no signs of slowing down! Both action stars, even at their advanced age, are still making explosive, bone-crunching films that actors half their age wouldn’t dare do! Stallone has Expendables 4 (aka Expend4bles) due out next year as well as appearing in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3! Arnold is still keeping busy by playing “The President” in Kung Fury 2. I bet the Governator wishes he really got that chance! And Arnie is also returning to the world of spies once again in the upcoming Netflix Series Utap. But today, we are going to pit these two icons against each other to decide ONCE AND FOR ALL who is the greatest action star in cinematic history.
So, head to your nearest bomb shelter, grab your steaks and protein shakes, and get your favorite one-liners ready because once again it’s time to head to the cage of movie mania that is… FACE OFF! This episode of Face Off is written by Jay Saint G, narrated by Shawn Knippelberg, and edited by Matthew Hacunda. But don’t take our word for it, who do you think is the greatest action hero of all time? Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone?
