    Huge thank you to all who have subscribed, liked, disliked or engaged with any of my videos over the past few months. Watching numbers go up on my channel has been a trip. It’s been difficult to correlate those numbers with real people because every time I do that my head turns to macaroni. Could not be more grateful. For you, the individual who is reading this, THANK YOU. Hope you enjoyed the video.
    This video has been a passion project and source of procrastination for me over the last two years. A lot of frustration, giggling and wallowing in despair was put into it. Sincere thank you if you actually watched the whole dang thing. Can’t believe I’m actually posting it.
    I suffered through most of these movies with my brother Max, who made the beautiful thumbnail, gave me a lot of ideas for the jokes in this and also makes great vids about entrepreneurship and self-improvement. Check him out:

    Kindergarten Cop is the perfect metaphor for Arnold’s career at that point in time. It starts as an action movie which transitions into an a fun comedy, then into an overly sappy and sentimental family film.

      It was a family movie for most of its run time. The comedy was in that genre overall even though it has some risque parts. It is a great movie but it does seem like two different ones. The beginning seems more Arnold action and then most of the movie is Arnold family comedy.

    I thought Total Recall was his best. I thought it had the most interesting premise and script. It really got you to question what was real and what wasn't for several hours straight. Even as the credits rolled, I still wasn't sure. It makes you actually think about the nature of reality, very few action movies have that kind of depth. And the moral that Kwato gave was excellent to paraphrase "it doesn't matter what your past is, you are what you DO." The movie had GOOD writing. It had everything that made T2 great, but also a better story. That's why I think it's the best over-all.

      Cameron, of course, also directed Aliens (the 2nd, but not the first), and both Terminators. He seems to always shift sci-fi horro to sci-fi action when he makes a sequel like that.

      I like it at lot, amazing action scenes, but at the core is the same story all over again: machines send assassin, humans send protector. And personally, it gets too sentimental by the end, too "hollywood tearjerker", something Cameron would do tenfold in Titanic.

    I think watching Arnie's filmography is a mystic & metaphysic experience that one should do at least once in a lifetime.
    That being said, The Terminator is a fantastic & smart thriller, less popular than T2 and I get it, it's kinda more entertaining and "fun"; but The Terminator is a real gem for those who appreciate film noir and anticipation. Its darkness, its old practical effects, and Sarah Connor's hairstyle makes it an unforgettable movie.

All very different flavours of action films and he adapts well to each style they’re going for.

    Here's my Hot Fuzz story. My wife and I saw it in the theatre back when it came out in '07. There were only like 10 people for the whole show and we all kind of sat in the middle. My wife and I were really enjoying the movie until about the last half hour; which I refer to as the funniest half hour in cinema history.

    Great video! I grew up watching Arnold in the late 80s and throughout the 90s. Going to the theater to see a new Arnold movie was just the greatest thing a kid could ask for, much simpler time it was, and me and my friends would recite Arnold's one liners the following Monday at school. I still admire him, as he was the reason I got into bodybuilding, I was always a skinny guy growing up, and always wanted to feel good about my self. Going to the gym and starting to take bodybuilding seriously did wonders for me, especially with women. I went from a shy skinny kid to a confident man, and honestly it's definitely thanks to Arnold.

Prime Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Norris, Steven Seagal, VanDamme, Mel Gibson, Clint Eastwood..etc..... The invention of Hulk Hogan and Hulkamania, MrT, Macho Man Randy Savage, Ric Flair and the 4 Horsemen, etc..... Prime Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran. Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield...... and prime Roy Jones jr and Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather jr, man those guys were untouchable, they were like watching wizards in the boxing ring. Prime Michael Jackson, country music group Alabama in their prime, 80s hair bands like Guns n Roses, Metallica, etc.... the invention and evolution of hip hop... prime Michael Jordan...nascar at its peak, with Prime Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin, etc.... some of the greatest tv shows like Dukes of Hazzard, ATeam, Night Rider, Thunder Cats, He man, Transformers, Looney Tunes, Simpsons, etc... man this list could go on forever!

    Shame on you for ripping on true lies. It was genuinely entertaining and easily watchable for the 1000th rerun even in 2022. Easily one of the best 90s films! Admittedly that decade wasn't the finest one for films - in any country.

    • @AlexBoucher
      @AlexBoucher  Před 2 lety +7

      I agree with you, True Lies is entertaining, which is why I put it at 6. But being entertaining is not an end all argument for a good film. True lies is completely misguided with it's intentions. Arnold's sidekick has got several unhinged monologues that are twisted as hell. The striptease scene is nothing but creepy. The film always treats its woman characters as either comedic relief or an excuse to give boners to the dudes in the audience. Maybe I'm misreading the entire film, but theres no shame in that my guy. If I hear a compelling argument I will change my mind. Opinions are cheap anyways! And the youtube comments section is not the best environment for reasonable debate!! Exclamation marks!!!

    A fun fact about THE PREDATOR. The first design of the alien creature didn't work for the filmmakers (some by-the-numbers insect-like humanoid with Jean Claude Van Damme in the suit), so they asked Stan Winston to make another design. He was on a plane, struggling to find a new idea for the creature, when another passenger, James Cameron, suggested a monster with mandibles, while looking at Winston's drawings.
