Action & Adventure > Schwarzenegger, Arnold Action & Adventure > H

Advantages: all of it!
Disadvantages: not much

...in total). The first Predator movie is an action classic, with it's then pioneering in-your-face, first-person action sequences, setting a standard for action movies of the late 80's. This is also one of Arnie's best movies after the Terminator films(bar number 3), with some great "dialogue" between Arnie's character Dutch and Dillon, played by Carl Weathers - not forgetting Arnie's one-liners like "knock, knock" and "stick around". The DVD itself ...
...scenes and outtakes. Now, Predator 2 is not really a sequal, but a different story invloving the Predator, set in Los Angeles in the then future 1997. The film stands up on its own as a solid action movie, with a great performance from Danny Glover in the lead. It has that infamous scene with the "Alien" skull in the trophy room of the Predator ship, which spawned the Alien Vs Predator comics, and ofcourse the inevitable movie. Again the DVD is ...

Advantages: Opening scene is cool
Disadvantages: Lack of oneliners, bad jokes

...displays such as picking up red hot coals with his bare hands. He is hunting a Russian drug dealer called Viktor when his brother gets shot.... Big mistake by Viktor... So Viktor takes his drugs, and a band of inept henchmen, to the States to escape the clutches of the Soviet Police. Arnie follows his man over there packing an unfeasibly large gun and a rather unfriendly attitude. He is placed in the hands of James Belushi upon his arrival into ...
...a damn lot better than Red Sonja I can tell you that much. It is a classic example of what can happen if you dont get the right mix between action and comedy. The dvd is not one I would recommend. Aside from the actual film, there is a diabolical making of featurette with Arnie and Belushi both saying how talented each other are and how great the film is. This is definitely one to watch on tv. ... Read review

Advantages: great if you like lots of fighting and aliens, of course there is only one
Disadvantages: Not good if you don't like gore and being made to jump a bit

There is plenty of gore, lots of flesh ripped off hung up bodies! Arnie, of course, makes the first film that much better. The alien has plenty of weapons and defences, including the ability to become almost invisible. We also find out why he is here. The first film starts with a bunch of soldiers in the jungle on a rescue mission ,they think they will only fight humans, wrong! Also they have been lied too. (government coverup?) They also think ...
...the predator. Watch out for the pretty good effect of an invisible alien rushing through the forest. Loads of killing later, Arnie turns in to a hero of extreme proportions, of course, but the effects are good and a fairly good take on the bad alien comes to earth theme. The plot thickens in the next movie.The alien turns up in a modern American city. Don't miss the alien barging his way through astounded peoples apartments when he has to make ... Read review

Advantages: Total Recall
Disadvantages: Red Sonja

...a high budget sci-fi where Arnie is Doug Quaid- a lowly construction worker whoi dreams of going to mars. His wife wont let him so he goes for the new fangled memory implant on offer for a company called RECALL. Big mistake- Arnie is an undercover operative who has had his identity changed by 'the agency' and is briefed to infiltrate rebel forces on Mars. Doug Quaid, has different ideas: In a nutshell "I dont wanna spoil it for you Doug, but rest ...
...to skip. Raw Deal Arnie is an undercover cop infiltrating a mafia gang. Wonderfully cheesey and simple with lots of killing and oneliners. Not a bad little film early on in Arnie's career. No special features to speak of on the dvd. Red Sonja This is not an Arnie movie, its a Bridgette Nielson movie in which Arnie plays a part. Its a swords and sorcery movie which is barely watchable and includes a whole host of extremely annoying characters who ... Read review

Advantages: LOADS AND LOADS AND LOADS. HE HE HE
Disadvantages: NON NON AND ERM....NON.

...EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO WATCH PREDATOR I WAS GLUED TO THE TV REPLAYING OVER AND OVER THIS FILM. MY MOTHER HATED IT. BLESS HER. GUNS, BLOOD, GUTS AND A STEALTH ALEIN HUNTER CHASING HIS PREY AROUND THE JUNGLE. WHAT THE HELL MORE DO WANT IN AN ACTION FILM. NOT MUCH I TELL THEE. AND I TELL THEE SOMETHING ELSE. ARNIE DOESNT MAKE GOOD MOVIES ANYMORE, HE'S TOO FAT. SO BUY AND CHERISH FOREVER THIS ONE TIME CLASSIC AND ITS NOT SO GOOD BUT STILL PRETTY GOOD SEQUEL. ... Read review
