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.
