Arnold Schwarzenegger not only adores his Terminator image but celebrates his flops as well. The actor has proved to be a timeless icon with a Midas touch, and an ability to turn all of his projects into a massive success. Of course, that does not make him immune to bad direction, screenplay, or anything else. But to the entertainer, success is more than just a box office number.

Even in 2023, the 75-year-old remains the top pick for action-filled projects, considering his fitness and abilities. Movies like Terminator, Predator, and Commando were hits that concreted his career as an actor. But there is one flop movie of his that he would rather appreciate and speak about, instead of forgetting, and that too from the 90s.

What was the 1993 movie that Arnold Schwarzenegger loves so much?

Even the best actors have a history of bad movies. But for Arnold Schwarzenegger, what matters is how much fun he had shooting for it. He revealed to Yahoo about loving his 1993 movie Last Action Hero despite it not doing nearly as well as his other hits. The movie was made by Die Hard director John McTiernan, who gained appreciation from the actor saying, “McTiernan did a great job with that movie.” The actor had fun shooting the movie and expected big things out of it. Unfortunately, that did not turn out well.

Critics and fans alike criticized the movie, putting a streak to his successful flicks. The Austrian actor was largely hurt and disheartened by its performance, especially considering its expensive budget of $85 million at the time. But in 2023, the movie remains a binge-watch amongst the silent minority that loved it for its humor and action.

Even his FUBAR co-stars like Travis Van Winkle appreciate it and admire it, as he took acting lessons from it. But what exactly was the Last Action Hero about?

A look into the plot of Last Action Hero

The movie revolved around a 10-year-old boy named Danny Madiga who is obsessed with a series character named Jack Slater. The young one is handed over a special ticket to that show, which transports him into the theatrical world. There he meets his idol and cop, where he must warn him against his fictional friend John Practice. The cop does not believe him, but with more evidence coming to light, the story proceeds.

Along with Schwarzenegger, actors Austin O’Brien, Tom Noonan, and Charles Dance made up the main cast of the movie. Right now, the FUBAR star says busy making never-ending projects with Netflix, but this one clearly remains special to him.
