Junior wasn't the most horrible movie ever made, but I do wonder what possessed them to make it in the first place, if they wanted Arnold and Danny in another film they could have easily crapped out some Twins sequel.

Yeah, they could have another brother played by Abdullah the Butcher and call it Triplets.

Best = Terminator (all 3, really. They're his legacy).

Worst = I haven't seen it, but probably Jingle all the Way

You guys are crazy. Arnold's Mr. Freeze was the only thing good about Batman and Robin. It's like he looked at the script and thought, "Wow, this shit is bad. Let me make it laughably bad!" I bet the puns were him ad libbing.

I thought Mr. Freeze was one of the only Batman villains that would have never worked in the campy 60's TV show.

I guess I can give Arnold credit for proving me wrong.

I haven't seen enough of his movies to say for sure. I end up liking his performances no matter what, simply because of the weird faces he manages to make when screaming.

Actually, truth be told, Hercules In New York is probably Arnold's worst movie.

Junior is a terrible premise, and just thinking about the premise fills me with anger. But the premise is executed about as well as such a premise can be.

Hercules In New York, on the other hand, is completely unwatchable. It took me three tries to successfully watch it. I fell asleep during my first two attempts.

Hercules In New York sounds like a good new article.

Oh man, the first Conan movie was light years better than the second.

They actually screwed up the ending of the original Conan. Arnold was supposed to throw that torch a lot further, but he screwed up. Since the set quickly started burning, they had to keep shooting and use that single take.

I always wondered how flame burned what looked like a stone balcony.

Fun Fact: The 2010 movie Tooth Fairy starring The Rock was originally pitched to Arnold shortly after Terminator 2 as Sweet Tooth. He turned it down in favor of The Last Action Hero.

Also: Suburban Commando was originally written for Arnold and DeVito, but they turned it down to make Twins.

Jesus Christ, how does he learn all of these things? On top of all the other fantastic shit he does. It's almost unnatural how much Syd can do. Not being a kiss-ass, by the way, that's a serious question... Confused
