Top 10 Arnold Schwarzenegger Movies

After the premiere of 'The Last Challenge', the new by Arnold Schwarzenegger, we review the filmography of the muscular actor, his hobby, bodybuilding, which earned him several titles such as Mister Europa, Mister Universo, Mister Mundo and Mister Olympia , who during the period between 2003 and 2011 temporarily abandoned his career to become Governor of California for two terms.  Among his most successful and celebrated films, we highlight these 10:

1. "Terminator 2: The Last Judgment" (James Cameron, 1991). Seven years after the first installment, Schwarzenegger was already a true world star, so the tables turned and the T-800 model Cyber ​​Dyne 101 went from villain to hero of history, sent from the future by John Connor himself to protect himself. himself being a kid (Edward Furlong) and his mother (Linda Hamilton, total macho) from the threat of the lethal T-1000 (Robert Patrick). Explosive action as rarely seen before and mass chases. Then they would come "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" (Jonathan Mostow, 2003), entertaining but inferior, and was also seen in "Terminator salvation" (McG, 2009), in spirit at least.  
2. "Predator" (John McTiernan, 1987). Survival horror fully-fledged set in the Central American jungle with a commando of megamusculated dowels facing a hunter from outer space who appeared only in very hot years. And that was one of them. Lots of action, a manly sense of humor and camaraderie, a great soundtrack by Alan Silvestri and a script by Jim and John Thomas.
3. "Risky Lies" (James Cameron, 1994). This remake from the comedy "La totale!" (Claude Zidi, 1991) remains one of Schwarzenegger's most effective films, thanks to the crazy and hilarious rhythm that Cameron manages to impress on the story, full of impossible action. The adventures of a spy (Schwarzenegger) who plays at leading a double life so that his wife (Jamie Lee Curtis) and daughter (Eliza Dushku) are not in danger.
4. "Conan, the barbarian" (John Milius, 1982). The legendary character created by Robert E. Howard definitely put Arnold Schwarzenegger in the spotlight of the industry. It is true that his acting skills here were not great things, but the film was entertaining. From his upbringing as a slave (with the role of Jorge Sanz) to his avenging triumph in the Enchanted City of Cuenca against the hordes of Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones), Conan rampages, loves, robs and knocks down camels with his fists to the sound of the unforgettable soundtrack by Basil Poledouris. The sequel "Conan, the destroyer"(Richard Fleischer) was disappointing.
5. "Total challenge" (Paul Verhoeven, 1990). Drawing from a short story by the essential Philip K. Dick, Verhoeven orchestrated a colorful feast of papier-mâché sets, prostate makeup effects, and lifelong collateral damage. Violence to the beast, action in abundance and one of the greatest hits of Schwarzenegger's career, which swept the international box office. In addition, "Total Challenge" launched the career of Sharon Stone.
6. "Persecuted" (Paul Michael Glaser, 1987). Starsky was in charge of directing the adaptation of the novel by Richard Bachman, the pseudonym with which Stephen King tried to uncover a publishing market saturated by his irrepressible prose. Schwarzenegger was Ben Richards, an agent of the law that chance and the corruption of power pushed without remission to participate in a television program of those characteristics of a dystopian future, violent, unjust and destined to satisfy the desire for collective catharsis of the masses .
7. "Danko: Red Heat" (Walter Hill, 1988). In which Schwarzenegger and James Belushi were a couple on the hunt for a perfectly credible Georgian mobster under the sulking face of Ed O'Ross. Shootings and jokes made in USA with Chicago as a backdrop in a police thriller that fulfills its function of passing the time and eliciting smiles.
8. "The Last Great Hero" (John McTiernan, 1993). A tremendously criticized film, which despite this we include in the list because we find it entertaining. Nick (Robert Prosky) presents young Danny Madigan (Austin O'Brien) with a magical entrance that allows him to enter the world of Jack Slater (Schwarzenegger), the action hero of the moment. A meta-cinematic pirouette in which the actor confronts himself? Literally? and the typical clichés of the genre in a popcorn adventure that is delirious, self-parodic and too crazy to entertain the respectable.
9. "The twins hit twice" (1988) A failed science experiment makes Schwarzenegger physically ideal, but his brother (Danny DeVito) appears to have been created from remains discarded in the womb. This film allowed the actor to show that he has a comic vision that has allowed him to collaborate on three occasions with Ivan Reitman, a triplet that also had the support of the box office. The second collaboration was in "Nursery cop" (1990), to hunt down a drug dealer, Arnie has to pose as a teacher in a kindergarten facing a bunch of kids who will be a more dangerous enemy? and, ultimately, sweet? than any street thug. After her, years later the third would arrive, "Junior" (1994), in which he again teamed up with DeVito, this time to get pregnant.
10. "The great bodyguard" (Bob Rafaelson, 1977). His role in this film earned him the Golden Globe as a debut actor. In it he played a bodybuilder, Joe Santo, who is preparing for the Mr. Universe contest by training in a gym located on a farm that arouses the interest of a real estate agent with the body of Jeff Bridges. He falls in love with Sally Field, who happens to be Arnie's girlfriend ...

Other notable titles of Arnold Schwarzenegger's filmography to a greater or lesser extent are: "Cactus Jack / The villain" (Hal Needham, 1979), "Commando" (Mark L. Lester, 1985), "The red warrior" (Richard Fleischer, 1985), "Executor" (John Irvin, 1986), "Eraser" (Chuck Russell, 1996), "A father in distress" (Brian Levant, 1996), "Batman and Robin" (Joel Schumacher, 1997), "The end of days" (Peter Hyams, 1999), "The 6th day" (Roger Spottiswoode, 2000), "Collateral damage" (Andrew Davis, 2002), his anticipated return by the Trench of "The Expendables 2" (2012) and his latest premiere "The Last Challenge" (Kim Jee-woon, 2012), which is his true return to the actor's full-fledged ring after his time in politics.
