I disagree. I rewatched Cobra a couple years ago and it was a lot better than i remembered. It has a dark edge to it and is a very cool movieEhh… Cobra was a crap movie anyway — so this turd matches that one.
The 80's were literally Stallone's golden years. He was at his peak in that decade.So true. As were most of Stallone's stinkers in the 80's and 90's.
Pretty sure Stallone said HE was the one who cut down his dialogue after seeing the original cut, as he had some cheesy dialogue. And the First Blood that we have, he gave a great performanceStallone's no thespian. First Blood was cut down to 92 minutes due to his dialogue. The car was the star in Cobra.

I think Arnold's stinkers are better regarded. Kindergarten Cop, Junior, and Twins were critical failures, but they're still remembered as fun goofy movies. Some of his fans may not even consider them stinkers due to the novelty of the premises.I wonder who has more stinkers: Stallone or Arnold? I know its subjective. But if one is being reasonably honest...
That's how making movies worksNot until after some screenings. Credit to him, though.
I wouldn't put Cobra in that category though. It's a good film. Also while Stallone's greatest movies are mainly made up of Rocky and Rambo sequels, that's even more impressive to me as it's extremely hard to make a good sequel. I mean, Rocky V is the worst Rocky movie, and it actually has plenty of good stuff in it too. Every other Rocky movie was great imo. Last Blood was probably the worst Rambo movie, and i thought that was a good movie.And he had a lot of stinkers... balanced by many Rambo/Rocky sequels.
But my point was, for every Cobra there was a Red Heat (for Arnold). I wonder who had more stinkers? Did Arnold have a "Rhinestone"?
You forget Batman & Robin though. But yeah, Sly isn't very good in comedy films. Arnie is. I think Sly even admitted that comedy wasn't for him after that. It was obvious that Sly tried to copy Arnie when he made those garbage movies you mentioned . Stallone is easily a better actor though. Even though i think Arnie acting skills are underratedI think Arnold's stinkers are better regarded.

I don't know of any Sly fan who'd stand up for Oscar or Stop, or My Mom Will Shoot. Maybe Agent Nick likes them.

Maybe "Tango & Cash" features the best comedian Stallone...You forget Batman & Robin though. But yeah, Sly isn't very good in comedy films. Arnie is.

Well Arnold had the Villian.And he had a lot of stinkers... balanced by many Rambo/Rocky sequels.

Well Arnold had the Villian.
Schwarzenegger really only has Terminator for a franchise

To me Stallone and Schwarzenegger both have iconic movies. I would rather watch Schwarzenegger’s lesser movies versus Stallone’s.
Aside from Rocky, Rambo, and Expendables there aren’t a lot of Stallone films I feel the urge to go back to.
Schwarzenegger really only has Terminator for a franchise, but I like more of his non-franchise movies.
Also, Cliffhanger is awesome. I liked Nighthawks. And Escape Plan (for Arnie and Sly) was coolOutside of Rocky and Rambo, I like Demolition Man, Assassins, Judge Dredd, Lockup, Cobra, Cop Land, and Tango and Cash.
I tried liking the Expendable films, but I can't get into them.
The Expendables films should have been better but I still kind of like them. I like Stallone but really it’s for Rocky and Rambo.Outside of Rocky and Rambo, I like Demolition Man, Assassins, Judge Dredd, Lockup, Cobra, Cop Land, and Tango and Cash.
