It's interesting to see how these particular films had such different actors in consideration for his roles upon their initial conception, like Lance Henriksen as the Terminator or Richard Dreyfuss as Douglas Quaid. On the flip side, you have [i]Die Hard[/i] almost ending up as a [i]Commando[/i] sequel at one point.[/quote]

I think it does come down to how much would be lost if you swapped out Arnold for anyone else. Something like [i]The Terminator[/i] or [i]Total Recall[/i] might still hold up but something like [i]Commando[/i] would definitely suffer.[/quote]

We have...a Total Recall film...without him, and [it was] terrible.[/quote] You take that back! :D[/quote]


Total Recall Remake = [rating]1_5[/rating][/quote]

We have both a Total Recall film and a Terminator film without him, and they are both terrible.

Very funny. I meant like the actual originals from 1984/1990 where everything's exactly the same except Arnold isn't there.[/quote]

[quote=Iroquois]For me, it varies depending on whether you judge them as a whole or simply as Arnold vehicles. Technically, you could say that [i]The Long Goodbye[/i] is the best movie he's ever been in even though he's just an extra (I believe Holden Pike made that exact argument, though he did pick [i]Conan the Barbarian[/i] when talking about Arnold's starring roles).

[quote=Joel][quote=Iroquois][quote=Powdered Water]All of these movies you all are talking about are really good movies. All of them.
 But anybody that thinks [i]True Lies[/i]  isn't Arnold's best movie is clearly a crazy person. Like insane.[/quote]

You know what they say about thinking everyone but you is crazy...[/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][font=century Gothic]You could make it like the[b] The Royal Rumble[/b]. 

First one in... Kinison :D[/font][/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][font=century Gothic] How much fun would it be to lock Rick James, Tom Arnold, and Russell Brand in a room with a big pile... 

And sell tickets with the proceeds going to charity.

[quote=doubledenim][font=century Gothic] In his defense, he is probably a big Tom Arnold fan. [/font][/quote]
