Call me a fag but to be honest this is probably my favorite Ahnold movie...

Fine then, change the kid into a hot teenage girl who is obsessed with Arnold. Now you have more eye candy and one less annoying little shitheel

Why don't people put this on the same level as T1, T2, Predator, or Commando?

the kid ruins it, so it's shit. yea, the potential was there, but it's shit

You’re a fag. I’m a fag. That movie is kino

It's an amazing movie and the perfect culmination and swan song to the 80s/early90s action blockbuster scene.

People are gay

Last Action Hero, like T2, made me wish that Ahnuld was my IRL buddy.

This movie literally ended his career. Was a huge fucking flop.

He said fuck it and ran for Governor. Sounds like a pretty good career to me.

He continued to star in big budget Hollywood movies for another 10 years

I've been saying this for years but surprisingly few people have watched this. True Lies is a solid number 2 though.

>I also really like Jingle All The Way but recognize it's kind of shit.

same here bruh

Weird, I saw that a million times as HBO had it on replay for a long time, but I can't remember shit about it.

this, waterworld, vanilla sky. sometimes the audience and critics come in with specific expectations formed from repetition in past films, like training some cattle, and when something doesn't fit their pattern they moo

One of the first things that made me start to realise the simpsons was up its own ass was when someone explained to me 'magic ticket my ass' was making fun of this bAd MoVie

The boy is relentlessly handsome

This is a thinking man, a man with solutions!

>I could be doing something more dangerous. Like rearranging my sock drawers.
It's the little things that make this movie good.

Fag, imagine not picking Commando, Predator, Total Recall, The Running Man or True Lies over Last action hero. Which btw is very under rated, but still not quite top 5 arnold kino.

True Lies got memed into continued popularity. LAH was a genuinely well made and original idea (at least for mainstream Hollywood in the early 90s) that was plain old fun to watch. I think general audiences of the time weren't prepared for it to be as much of a parody as it was and were disappointed it it not being a traditional action flick.

I'm old enough to remember the release and what happened. In 1992 Arnold came out as a (*GASP!*) Republican. Campaigned for Bush 41, spoke at the GOP convention. This was his first movie after that, and there was a very well orchestrated smear campaign against it. I saw several stories talking about how Hollywood and the entertainment industry were ripping this movie as though it were a pile of shit JUST because Ahnuld went public as a Republican.

Pretty sick.

This is actually a good movie, not a great as when I was a kid, but still good

I really like the pacing and false climax. When you feel like the movie is wrapping up it starts the real final act, but you also don't feel tired and ready for it to be over because there's an actual point to it.

I guess, but how would you do or replace arnie going into the real world and being deconstructed into an impotent hero that has to rebuild his confidence?

Eh, its fine, but for me, arnoldkino holy trinity is
>Conan the Barbarian
>Predator
>T2

every goddamn thing about this movie was awesome (except the kid, and even he's not bad enough to ruin it)

Well, can't argue with that. Cast it!

The movie was ahead of its time and came out before meta movies like Scream became popular

Wrong time. 10 years later it would have done great.

I disagree, Total Recall is Arnie at his most handsome.

You just reminded me of Hudson Hawk, shit movie, but I kinda like it

fag

It's not a bad movie. The kid ruins a lot of stuff I was enjoying though fag.

And now every movie that comes out is meta and it's annoying as hell.

you admit you poisoned the king?

you killed moe zart!

shame stupid burgers can't into satire

THAT BOY IS INSANELY CUTE

You watch Ahnold movies for Ahnold, and he's in top form here. Not a bad choice at all, OP.

Its commercial failure was also partly due to Jurassic Park releasing only a week earlier. They couldn't know how big that film would get.

Interestingly, the one place where it did do well was France, where I guess audiences were more ready for the meta-movie idea, and maybe less interested in dinosaurs.

Cult classic movie in Russia, my fav one. Pure Tiernan/Black kino.

May I suggest Christina Applegate?

*Pie*, you Sicilian schmuck.
