Arnold Schwarzenegger, does this man really
need an intro? Apart for been
well known for his award winning acting...
has starred in over 70 movies
since the 1970's? He was the governor of California
as well as Mr Olympia 7
times.
So today I want to focus on his movies that
have untapped potential, where
I thought they've become unjustly underrated.
While he's been in a tonne of
bad moves and his average ratings are pretty
low, I thought I would set the
bar where all the movies in this video have
score lower than that of
Terminator 3.
And just a heads up, -none of these movies
are masterpieces, but I just
think their worthy of at least another viewing.
Roger Spottiswoode's science-fiction thriller
The 6th Day?
Set in the near future, where DNA cloning
has been perfected and has
become an accepted part of everyday life from
genetically engineered
fruit, to cloning your pets. But laws have
been passed that strictly forbid
the cloning of human beings. However the story
kicks off when Adam
Gibson meets a clone of himself and stumbles
into a grand conspiracy
about clones taking over the world.
The 6th Day does starts off a bit slow, but
it steadily builds up to be a
riveting, action packed movie. This is the
type of film where you don't
expect much from its concept, acting and overall
enjoyment, but in the end
is very well done.��
While it has plenty room for improvement such
as the dialogue (No I think
you're evil)- it makes the movie unintentionally
funny. The 6th Day is well-
crafted entertainment full of interesting
ideas and a must for any Arnie
fan.
Red Sonja - veteran director Richard Fleischer's
fantasy adventure?
After her family is murdered, Red Sonja becomes
a master of the sword to
seek revenge on Gedren the queen responsible
for the death of her family.
On her travels she unites with a couple of
warriors to overthrow this evil
Queen before she destroys the world.
This movie gets better with age,�Schwarzenegger
execution of his
character Kalidor is awesome throughout -even
though the films focus is on
Brigitte Nielsen's Red Sonja. It's a great-looking
film, filled with wildly
imaginative sets and costumes, with some sharply
staged action scenes. All
the characters are lovable - well except the
kid who is kinda irritating.
While in my opinion it's not as good as Conan
the barbarian, it's better than
Conan destroyer. The story even descends from
writer Robert E. Howard
the author of the Conan series.
The director of Ghost Busters -Ivan Reitman's
Crime Comedy Twins
Set where Julius and Vincent Benedict are
the results of an experiment
that would allow for the perfect child.�Separated
at birth, Julius becomes a
physically perfect but mild-mannered man,
who finds out he has a brother
and goes in search of him - who turns out
to be a short, small-time crook.
Whenever you see Schwarzenegger and DeVito
together in a film you know
you're going to get a ridiculous movie (I'm
all woman).
Twins' keeps up some very high spirits, where
Schwarzenegger plays the
gags for all they're worth, and gives the
role of Julius some very hilarious
moments, and DeVito as the straight man plays
of them well- both visually
and with very tight comedic timing.
No matter what your thoughts are of Twins,
the picture of Arnold & Danny
dressed up in identical linen suits and shades
will keep you smiling.From the
Director of Predator and DieHard, John McTiernan's
action comedy: - Last
Action Hero
This is the story of young Danny Madigan who
is a huge fan of Jack Slater,
the Indestructible L.A. action hero. With
the help of a magic ticket, Danny is
transported into the fictional world of his
favourite action film character.
Where Slater and Danny must join forces where
they have to stop a bad
guy who's escaped into the real world!
Last Action Hero likes to make fun of all
the different action movie clich�s
of the time. The puns, the explosions, the
car chases, and dated celebrity
cameos are all purposefully inserted in a
deliberate attempt to kill all the
logic within the movie.
It's become more relevant with age, where
all the movie clich�s made fun
of in this feature have become more prominent
in recent years. Also I
thought it was pretty bold of Arnold to spoof
the genre that he'd been
trapped in for most of his acting career.
Very few actors are willing to do
that.
�Peter Hyams Action horror - End of Days
At the end of the century, Satan visits New
York in search of a bride. Now,
as the end of days approaches, all that stands
in the way of mankind's
destruction is the salvation of one women,
whose fate comes down to -
anti-hero Jericho Cane, a beaten down ex-cop.
Arnold Schwarzenegger vs. the devil pretty
much sums this movie up. But
somehow this ends up being a pretty interesting
story and one of Arnold's
better performances, as the bitter, alcoholic
ex-cop whose wife and
daughter were killed because he wasn't home
to protect them.
It's about as good as you could expect an
action horror movie to be, it's
just fun, and not to be taken seriously like
most of Arnold's movies.
End of Days compares well to Arnies eighties
work by trying to do
something different -and while it may not
gel properly in places, for the
most part it will entertain you.
