Sylvester Stallone vs Arnold Schwarzenegger | Face Off

[@alexrivera633]

Both of these guys are such legends it’s crazy

[@kaseempayne2212]

That’s true. OG Action Movie icons.

[@filippos13]

No question, Arnold! The guy made legendary films! He made characters that no other actor could ever replace, that's why the remakes failed. Predator, Conan, Terminator, Total Recall. Even his lower tier films like Raw Deal, Commando or The Running Man were amazing. Schwarzenegger is synimynous with action films!

[@miikamessi]

Stallone is way much better!

[@jeremybooth6720]

So is Stallone, plus he can act.

[@pandapajamas2532]

I actually think the running man is one of his best films great movie good time.

[@MS-dc2tt]

Yes question, Sylvester is the GOAT. Arnold is a close second, followed by JCVD, Jackie Chan, Jet Li.

[@in4mus85]

Love arnie but Rocky man......

[@johnheffner7797]

I love them both but I tend to watch Arnold’s movies more, that being said , I do love Stallone too and loved when they were together in Escape Plan

[@louisbuzzi869]

Agree 💯%.

[@cokedaddy216]

When I was growing up I preferred Arnie, but now I’m older I prefer Stallone movies

[@forevercod.younggun6352]

Both are absolutely great legends but Arnold will always be the last action hero

[@patrickcee8624]

Both great both made flops… but Arnold is the definition & blueprint to a iconic sci fi/action hero of the 80s/90s.

[@ShaunBMcKinnon]

I agree with you, Arnold would have been my pick!

[@frankyaeger675]

Yup I agree still they're both action icons hence the face-off. I have a soft spot for Stallone courtesy of demolition man I friggin love that movie.

[@pinokio3785]

"Fuck your freedoms" - Arnold Arnold terminated himself with that line to millions of fans. Sly wins.

[@davemccage7918]

In a fist fight, Arnold all day. And if you really think about it, that’s all that really matters.

[@sugreev2001]

I love ‘em both, but Arnie’s filmography has more favorites of mine. T2 alone towers over anything Sly has done, even Rocky and First Blood.

[@bodacious117]

I feel like Arnold’s most comedic moments are not even in his comedy films, his one liners are always hilarious

[@TheRomanticDarkness]

Commando. 🤣👍

[@Casey3-P-O]

Demolition Man and Last Action Hero are two of my all time favorite movies. It's seriously hard for me to choose which one of these guys is the best. They're both so cool. Judge Dread is another favorite of mine. And who can forget T2 and Jingle All the Way??? Man....the 90s were pretty great when it comes to movies and music.

[@magnificus8581]

It's close, but the right decision was made. Stallone is still making great stuff until today. Can't remember the last big thing Arnold was in. So even more bonus points for the longevity of the Italian Stallion.

[@Woodsyhikes]

Arnie’s been in two of the best action movies of all time not named Die Hard (T2/Predator). Arnie wins.

[@lilpp4791]

T2 I agree but rambo is better than predator

[@butchcoolidge8643]

​​@@lilpp4791 Don't get me wrong, First Blood is a great movie with a great message, excellent setting, well made action, as well as Sly's and Dennehy's brilliant acting. I personally think it's a sacred classic. I love it and I rewatch it pretty often, but Predator is the best sci-fi/action movie of the 80s and arguably Arnold's best performance. It's perfectly structured, more dynamic and rewatchable, suspenseful, fantastic villain and the way it transforms from action to horror and then from horror to sci-fi is awesome. Predator rules on every single level.

[@AlexBelte3002]

While Sly is the better actor and a great writer, Schwarzy has the better movies (overall). Especially since we're specifically talking about action movies, Arny wins this one.

[@forcesensitive6371]

Arnie by far. Quality of films were better.

[@FrankJohn]

Arnold wins the 80s hands down.

[@llorenstorrespr4409]

Wrong. Sly wins by a long shot. He did so much, much, much better at the box office.

[@FrankJohn]

@@llorenstorrespr4409 that's not the only metric my friend

[@llorenstorrespr4409]

@@FrankJohn it is.

[@John-mf1sz]

Tough one honestly. Rambo? Rocky? Cobra? These are definitely classics. Predator, T1, and T2 was 90’s, but Arnold was also in some absolute bangers obviously. I don’t think it’s a landslide for either/or. They both rocked the era.

[@WesleyWyndam-Pryce]

​@@llorenstorrespr4409Nah, Sly loses the 80's.

[@thestoicwhinger]

I grew up on Stallone movies mainly because my mum was a big fan. Arnie's 80s stuff was generally a bit more R rated so I missed alot of them as a kid. Stallone might have been the better actor but Arnie's pure charisma was undeniable

[@scottknode898]

Sylvester Stallones films were generally R Rated as well including First Blood and sequels, Cliffhanger, Demolition Man, Lock Up, Judge Dredd, and Tango and Cash.

[@shanecordova6970]

Ya it was great growing up in the 80’s & 90’s

[@thestoicwhinger]

Yeah you're probably right, i guess it was as much a case of my parents perception of the violence levels. I remember seeing tv trailers for movies like Red Heat and Total Recall as a kid but my mum was having none of it haha. But then she had no problem with me watching Rambo 3 and Tango & Cash, etc. The only Arnie movie she even liked was Twins 😁

[@scottknode898]

@@shanecordova6970 I agree I was born in 1986 and growing up with my parents and my older brother born in 1980 we would watch a lot of action movies from 80s early 90s. My brother and I were big fans of Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Mel Gibson among others, I watched First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part 2, The Terminator 1 and 2, Lethal Weapon series, Die Hard, and Rocky movies movies among others quite a bit.

[@joshdean7523]

I mean… “Last Action Hero” says it all…

[@tony_lungu_tv7047]

I've always wondered why this has been a debate..Arnold has more hit films

[@IamY00t]

I don't think I can pick a winner. But T2, Tue Lies and Total Recall are three of my favorite of all time. So ill give it to Arnie

[@chrisperry7963]

LOL, this all convinced me that Arnie is the big winner!

[@tankeater]

Face Off was John Travolta and Nickolas Cage... LMFFFAAAOOO

[@NerdWorldEmpire]

Upcoming film Prey? You guys forget to upload this one couple of months ago?! Also for me it’s Arnie grew up on that guys films and mostly prefer his films than Stallones but says films are sometimes a little more thought out , sometimes

[@ThatSoddingGamer]

It's highly subjective in the end. I think the result being close, but with Stallone edging out Arnie is fair in its way, but I personally find Arnold the more memorable of the two. I'm just not as keen on Sylvester, I don't watch most of his movies (Rocky and Rambo namely). I've seen some of course, but when it comes to filmography as a whole, I have seen a lot more of Arnold and I find him more entertaining in terms of action, and more funny.

[@SirTyJensen]

Schwarzenegger is my favorite action star.

[@anthonyhiggins9799]

On top of some of the greatest action films of all time, Arnie has shown that he can do fantasy (Conan), Horror (End of Days), has a natural gift for comedy (Twins/Kindergarten Cop), and even children's movies (Jingle All the Way/Last Action Hero). His ability to work in many different genres and appeal to such a wide range of film fans makes him the best for me.

[@travisking9321]

This really is a close call. They both gave us all memorable films and incredible performances.

[@getajob3435]

Al Pacino Vs Robert De Niro

[@markthompson8246]

Rocky and Rambo are cultural icons. Sly wins, imo.

[@V3ntilator]

Stallone is a perfect mafia boss in the new TV Series that started today. "Tulsa King".

[@wstine79]

The ultimate Face Off. I've always been a Stallone Guy for many years.

[@luminousu241]

It's always amazing how rivalries just come together in the right place and right time in history. It's because of this informal competition that great performances are made and a win win for the actors and audiences.

[@heatherdale5571]

And I'd have to go with Arnold...between Terminator and Total Recall he battled humans and aliens...from jungle to outer space, Arnold did it all. Hands down. Not too mention the legit issue of his thick accent, size and alien status. He's the man, across the board. I adore Stallone, but in this regard...truly Arnold is king.

[@billdenbrough501]

Arnie is larger than life and Sly is the everyman with a heart and a dream. Love them both, but If I have to pick one, it's Sly. Arnie is an actor. Sly is a filmmaker, and that's a huge difference. You don't see directors like Tarantino talking about the way Arnie wrote scripts in the 70's influencing how they wrote dialogue. The mirror between Sly as a man and as an an artist and Rocky as a cinematic alter ego has never been matched in the history of cinema with the exception of Orson Welles and Falstaff. Sly kept up that conditioning in the 80's while writing and directing the films, and in the case of 'Rocky' which is one of the greatest films ever made, creating the character! Arnie has done amazing things away from the screen which Sly will never match, but cinematically, Sly is the man. I love 'Total Recall', 'Conan' and 'Terminator 1 and 2'. All amongst my favourite movies. 'Kindergarten Cop' and 'Twins' are both staples for me. But Rocky is like a member of my family (and Rambo as well to a lesser extent).

[@MasterClasster]

Sly does more, but Arni is better at what he does.

[@Mubasher.ali_Rajput]

Arnie Is Like Superman He is Unbeatable And Sly Is Like Batman You Can Beat Him but Can't stop him

The Austrian Oak, easily, is the best Action Star!

[@DNOstalgia]

[@yourstruly4817]

The only Stallone movies I've watched are the Rocky movies, the Rambo movies, Demolition Man and Daylight, while there are few Arnold movies I haven't seen yet, most of them before he got famous due to Terminator, so Arnold wins easily

[@AlexGreat321]

I can agree with the end result but Sly over Arnie in the 80s is an interesting one. Sly had to rely on Rocky and Rambo during that decade mainly while Arnie was doing different ones (unless you really want to count the Conan movies)

[@leejohnstone4663]

Believe or not Stallone's movies was making more money at the box office compare to Arnie's films. His first $100 million blockbuster was Twins where Stallone had a decade of $100 million blockbusters starting with Rocky. Heck Cobra beat Raw Deal at the box office

[@AlexGreat321]

@@leejohnstone4663 that's interesting to hear

[@V3ntilator]

I think Stallone were the first ever actor to get 12 millions and that were insane in middle 80's. Got it for "Over the top" movie. This is the reason why other actors started to demand the "Stallone" payday. In fact it were 45% of the whole movie's budget.

Stallone is overall more talented and diverse but Arnie is more charismatic on screen.

Definitely Arnold for me, he's the ultimate action hero, he's a cult hero across the world. Not saying Stallone isn't, because he most certainly is aswell but not to the extend that Arnold is. Both are icons but when you say action star, the first name that comes to mind in my mind is Arnold.

Pound for pound it is Sylvester Stallone. He's not only an action star but also a very accomplished writer and director. He has been playing Rocky since the 70s and kept the character not only relevant but also highly likeable and inspiring. He always came back swinging after any setback. No one has had a career like him.

There has already been a Face-Off. Stallone is still angry he played in the comedy Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot which was a critical and box office disaster. He signed onto the film based on rumors that Schwarzenegger was interested in the lead. Schwarzenegger said that, knowing the very poor script, he faked interest in starring but would demand so much money the producers would try to hire Stallone. A total knockout for Arnie!

Arnold for me. When i think of action films or actors in action films he's the one that i think of first like a reference. Sly and arnold made action movies look more modern compared to guys like Chuck Norris and Charles Bronson in my opinion
