The best fighters of the era of video salons. Sli against Schwartz



Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. Two names that the boys of the late 80's uttered with delight: "Yesterday I saw such a film with Schwartz in Vidic !!!" And many were interested in - who is actually steeper than Schwartz or Sly, Rambo or Commando. But they, to our regret, did not overlap, in no film


Their career was parallel courses. And even seriously, they said that there was almost a war between Arnie and Slai. And they supported these rumors, and poured oil on the fire. Sly seemed to even say that in those days the fact of the existence of this planet Schwarzenegger terribly annoyed him. In detail about this confrontation I told in a post - The War of Stallone and Schwarzenegger

And today let's follow their movie career as cool guys until the moment when the parallel branches still crossed




For Schwarzenegger, it all began with the role of Cimmerian Conan, the character of the fantasy books of Robert I. Howard

But the main success that made him the legend of the genre came after the "Terminator"

The image was made and the directors began to use it successfully

"Commando", "Predator", "Running Man", "Red Heat", "Remember All", "The Last Movie Hero", "True Lies", "Eraser", "End of the World", "6th Day", Compensation damage "and, of course, another pair of Terminators

And all this is diluted with several comedic roles from which to the used image you can add detective John Kimble from the "Kindergarten policeman"




To Slay, success came earlier. In 1976, "Rocky" made him a star. I do not know if this film should be attributed to the militants, but the image of the tough guy Slaia came after him

This image continued to be exploited until the release of "Rambo: First Blood" in 1982 - by this time there were already 2 extensions about Rocky and two more okrasportivnye dramas "Paradise Alley" and "Victory"

But after the "Rambo" on Slay drew attention creators action movie. And similar roles fell down like a cornucopia.

Of course, this is primarily the sequels of the already untwisted names of John Rambo and Rocky Balboa, but they were also added by Lieutenant Marion "Cobra" Cobretti

In general, it should be noted that since the "Night Hawks" Slay regularly entrust the role of steep police. But, unlike Schwarzenegger, they almost did not call for the shooting of fantastic fighters. The first, if I'm not mistaken was only in 1993 - "Destroyer" (we did not learn how to use shells)

But even without that Sli's work was enough: "With all his might," "Shut up," "Tango and Cash," "Rock climber," "Specialist," "Assassins," "Judge Dredd," "Daylight," " The police "

And all this is slightly diluted by comedies, of which the theme can be attributed "Stop, or else my mom will shoot"


The first fleeting meeting of these two legends occurred only in the first "The Expendables", and the serious one - in the "Plan of Escape". But we did not find out which of them is steeper
