Vem som är bästa actionstjärnan av Sylvester Stallone och Arnold Schwarzenegger var ett hett debattämne i pojkrummen på 80-talet. Nu har Stallone tyckt till om saken, och han menar lite överraskande att Schwarzenegger är nummer ett.
I den nya Netflix-dokumentären Arnold minns Stallone hur 80-talet förändrade actionfilmerna för evigt:
"The '80s was a very interesting time because the definitive 'action guy' had not really been formed yet. Up until that time, action was a car chase like 'Bullitt' or 'The French Connection.' A film all about intellect and innuendo and verbal this and verbal that.
You actually relied upon your body to tell the story. Dialogue was not necessary. I saw that there was an opportunity, because no one else was doing this except some other guy from Austria, who doesn't need to say much... He was superior. He just had all the answers. He had the body. He had the strength. That was his character."
Arnold återgäldade dock Slys komplimanger med att säga att "without Stallone, I maybe wouldn't have been as motivated in the '80s to do the kind of movies that I did and to work as hard as I did. I'm a competitive person."
Vem tycker du var den bättre actionstjärnan av dessa båda legender?
