Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the world’s most celebrated public figures. From his bodybuilding career to his switch to films and then politics, he has had one of the most successful careers in the industry. But with all the fame, there also comes the feuds. The biggest one was the rivalry between Sylvester Stallone and Schwarzenegger, which went on for almost twenty years. While both the Rocky actor and the FUBAR star may have become friends now, they had their fair share of fun with each other.

From messing with each other using the press, to even making sure that the other actor stars in ridiculous movies, the two have really come a long way.

Sylvester Stallone’s favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger films

Sylvester Stallone is an action star, who paved his way into history with the film franchise, Rocky, in 1976. He is also known for his long-standing rivalry against Arnold Schwarzenegger, who recently revealed his new training partner, which seems to have ended now that the two have transitioned out of the spotlight. In 2022, Sylvester Stallone finally shared his favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger movies.

On a Discord AMA, the actor chose James Cameron’s Terminator 2: Judgement Day, which came out in 1991 as his first pick. Stallone also names another Cameron-Schwarzenegger collaboration, True Lies, as his other favorite film. He also went on to say that the 1994 film was “very very good” and that it had “great action with a great director.”

While the two might be on good terms now, there was a time when Schwarzenegger was the reason behind Sylvester Stallone taking up the worst film of his career.

How Schwarzenegger gave Sylvester Stallone his worst film

Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2019, Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed a secret behind Stallone’s failed 1992 film, Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot. The Terminator star said that Stallone decided to pick up the role because Schwarzenegger had acted like he wanted to do the film. He also revealed that the script was “a piece of shut.”

Schwarzenegger mentioned that Stallone had taken up the role after a phone call they had. During the call, Schwarzenegger had feigned interest in the film, even calling it “a really brilliant idea.” That sparked Stallone’s competitive streak and led to him accepting the role. The film was a failure and even got a rating of 14% on Rotten Tomatoes. Years after the film came out, even Stallone called it “one of the worst films in the entire solar system.”
