Who Is The Bigger Star? Part 9

Here is a fun post where a compare two actors/actresses, sports stars, TV personalities, etc against each other and determine who is the bigger star.  Let's see who wins this time:

Arnold Schwarzenegger v. Sylvester Stallone

Arnold Schwarzenegger

• Biggest Role:  The Terminator
• My Favorite Role:  Jack Slater in Last Action Hero
• Top Earning Movie:  Terminator 2 ($204.8 million)
• Biggest Flop:  Batman & Robin, I will never let anyone associated with that movie get away with their crime.
• Awards:  2 Golden Globe Nomination (1 Win)
• Career:  First off, I want to point out that I am shocked Arnold owns a Golden Globe.  He won it for something I've never heard of back in 1977.  Back to his career.  Arnold started out as a bodybuilder then got his first big part as Conan, but hit it big when James Cameron cast him as The Terminator.  Since then he has been a huge star and been in everything from action movies to comedies to whatever Junior was.  Recently, he can only seem to find work in crappy action movies and has a bunch of sequels to his older movies in the works like another Conan and Terminator movie.

Sylvester Stallone

• Biggest Role:  Rocky or Rambo, it's a coin flip
• My Favorite Role:  John Spartan in Demolition Man
• Top Earning Movie:  Rambo: First Blood Part II ($150.4 million)
• Biggest Flop:  Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot
• Awards:  2 Academy Award Nomination (0 Wins), 2 Golden Globe Nomination (0 Wins)
• Career:  The first time I remember seeing Sly was in a crappy movie called Death Race 2000 (that was later remade into an even crappier movie).  Then he wrote and starred in Rocky (which somehow beat out Taxi Driver for Best Picture) and everything changed.....kind of.  He did a couple more Rocky movies and then starred in the first Rambo movie, followed by a bunch more Rambo movies.  Since then he has done all sorts of stuff like Tango & Cash, Judge Dredd, and a lot of Expendables movies.  Next up, you guessed it, another Expendables movie.

If we had done this back in the 90's, it would have been a hell of battle.  Today, they are both older than my dad and really seem to hanging onto their personas as action stars despite nearing 70 years old.  Sadly, neither is really a star anymore and for that reason, I am declaring a tie even though if I really had to choose, I would go Arnold because of his accent.

"Yup, a tie.  They are both has-beens."
