Arnie is fighting a clown in a bar, Arnie assumes the role of Bouncer/doorman, and the clown is making a show of himself, spraying people with water from his lapel 'flower' throwing buckets of tinsel all over the place and scuffing the floor with his square wheeled car...
Arnie comes over and grabs the clown by the back of the neck and throws him out of the door, as the clown looks back from the pavement he sees Arnie in the doorway, with a broad smile on his face, lighting a cigar and saying....
"Fuck off you red nosed cun-t!"

Yeah, I live in the billingual part of Canada, so we have television channels in French and English. The French channels frequently show Hollywood movies, but dubbed in French. I saw a lot of movies like this as a child and it frequently took something away from the performances. A big part of Clint Eastwood's charisma is his voice and delivery, I saw his movies dubbed in French as a child but found I really connected with him as an actor when I finally saw them in English with his real voice.

That was great. The uber-fake mustache and hair were not though.

"I know you've found me a few starring roles since I made my comeback, and I did that 'Expendables' gig, but what I really want is a role where I get to do a lot of voices and improv comedy and I'm a mastermind who is constantly playing characters. Like I said. Lots and lots of acting."
I'm not sure I'd necessarily call all of that acting good, but it sure is fun to watch Arnold throw this much effort at anything. I'm not sure I believed he still had it in him, but he looks like he's having a blast here as Rottmayer, a convict who is locked away in The Tomb, the highest of high security prisons. He doesn't show up until about a third of the way into the film, but once he does, he can barely stop smiling.
"Escape Plan," directed by Mikael Hafstrom, is the exact kind of B-movie that was the bread and butter for both stars in the '80s, and the script by Miles Chapman and Jason Keller feels like it could have been sitting on a shelf all this time, just waiting for its moment.

As said before Stallone tries to act—the pair even gets into some self aware humor with Arnie saying, “You don’t look that smart,” and Stallone responding, “Neither do you”—but Schwarzenegger really shines as the wise-ass prison vet who knows more than he lets on because Schwarzenegger knows exactly what type of movie it is. He knows the fans want the one-liners and the tropes to be legit and he’s there to make it happen despite nothing making sense around him. I want to see Arnold fire a huge gun and he knows exactly how to fire it to make it look badass, case closed. I think this gets to the point of why Escape Plan works so well. A lot of the movies Stallone and Schwarzenegger have made recently try to live up to the one’s they made in their golden age and ultimately fail, yet this one seems like it could have been made right there in between Commando and Cobra. It retains the same balls-to-the-wall absurd spirit as the shoot-em-ups we grew up on even though both actors are now old enough to be in the AARP and they may not have done all of their own stunts this time around.

caruso_stalker217 wrote:Personally, I think PREDATOR is one of his best performances. And this was the same year he did THE RUNNING MAN, which features some of his worst acting.
TOTAL RECALL is still a great film.
His best performance is in TRUE LIES.
