Here's Arnold's theatrical work from the 1990s:

Total Recall (1990)
Kindergarten Cop (1990)
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Last Action Hero (1993)
True Lies (1994)
Junior (1994)
Eraser (1996)
Jingle All the Way (1996)
Batman & Robin (1997)
End of Days (1999)

I think that Total Recall and T2 are really fun and well-made. Batman & Robin...well, I had a really great time seeing it at the theater. That alone gets it my third vote.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

I voted total recall, T2, and true lies.

Eraser is good (just watched it the other day) but forgotten. I think Last Action Hero is underrated because people seem to think it was supposed to be a serious movie.

I liked End of Days as well as T2 and Total Recall.
I would have had to leave this one out.

True lies, for the music and Jamie Lee Curtis strip tease dance in the bedroom.

Went with T2, True Lies, and then Total Recall. Took me a while to actually figure out what was going on in that last one. My 16 year old brain was stuck on the 3 boobies (you make me wish i had 3 hands to). Loved the Benny character.

I eventually got past that part and realized he was really Hauser in the past and had the Quade personality implanted over Hauser. Then the random urge to go to Recall and get Martian secret agent memories (Hauser personality leaking through) screwed it up and brought Hauser back out. That is until Recall thought they screwed him up and put him back to the way he was as Quade. Plain as day now I guess.

These are the obvious 3. I picked jungle all the way for its sheer stupidity of what Xmas has become.

Twins with Danny Devito?

T2and True Lies easily.

Twins was 1988

 

[kritikalcat]

T2, True Lies, Total Recall are definitely my top 3. Not just top 3 Arnold movies of the 90s but on my overall list of. favorite movies. Some of the others were passable, but forgettable

 

[JoeSwag]

T2 is obvious. But my other choices were Last Action Hero and Jingle all the Way (funny to see them mock the hysteria of parents trying to get Power Rangers and Tickle Me Elmo).

Last Action Hero still holds up. Fun satire of action movies.

Predator…1987, but please allow the rounding error.

 

[CastleRubric]

I voted total recall, T2, and true lies.

Eraser is good (just watched it the other day) but forgotten. I think Last Action Hero is underrated because people seem to think it was supposed to be a serious movie.

12 Angry Men
The Dirty Dozen
Jacobs Ladder (original)
&
Wicker Man

@J_Dee give us a Stallone thread. I'd make it but this is your thing. But do not leave off Over the Top as an option.

Last Action Hero is one of my picks for most underrated action movie ever. So far ahead of its time as a meta/parody that was still a great action movie on its own. Not many movies can pull that off.

Great set pieces, perfect villains. Funny with great action. Unique plot.

You don't understand. You just solved the entire case. you just revolutionized the entire history of police training. I mean all these years at the academy, studying human character, psyche of the terrorists, fingerprint analysis, all the courses that I've taken in surveillance, hostage negotiation, and criminal psychology, when all I have to do is drive around the neighborhood, point my finger at a house, and say, "the bad guys are in there!"?

Agreed. And I'd just like to note that it was written by of of two the MCU's top-grossing writers: Zak Penn (The Avengers) and Shane Black (Iron Man 3 -- but to me he'll always be Hawkins, the Predator's first on-screen kill IIRC).

Hawkins:
Billy. Billy! The other day, I was going down on my girlfriend, I said to her, "Jeez you got a big p*ssy. Jeez you got a big p*ssy." She said, "Why did you say that twice?" I said, "I didn't."

Hawkins:
See, cuz of the echo.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

I'm watching Terminator.. and I know that for the events to happen in the series, Kyle Reese has to have sex with John Connors mom.. but imagine how that convo went.. "Kyle, you're gonna need to go back in time to protect my mom.. and uh.. you kind of have to creampie her as well.."

 

[LineSkiCat14]

"Hold her legs up for a good half hour, too.. if you don't, I might just randomly dissappear next month"

True story. Sonny Landham, aka Billy from Predator and former porn star, used to sell signed 8x10s Out of the trunk of his car at Ashland Community College.

lol. Didn't he run for governor back in 2003?

He ran against Mitch in 2008. For like ten seconds, until this happened:

Sonny Landham calls for genocide of all Arabs and Muslims

Ok I remember a former roommate of mine saying he saw him say some crazy thing like that at a rally. Just forgot which one.

Per wiki “In 2003, Landham ran in the Republican Partyprimary election for the post of Governor of Kentucky,[2] hoping to repeat the success of his Predator castmates Minnesota GovernorJesse Ventura and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.”
