8. Arnold Schwarzenegger
Known For: Being the most popular and successful action star in the history of cinema, known for hits like The Terminator franchise, Commando, The Running Man, Total Recall, and so on - you know what I'm talking about.
The Parody: Arnie first successfully flirted with self-parody in the hugely underrated Last Action Hero, as he played a movie star who ends up being dragged into the real world and struggles to contend with its realities. However, Arnie's return to cinema since leaving the Governor's Office has essentially caused him to become a heightened, surreal version of his former self; take his recent film The Last Stand, which sees him remain a man of few words, who still shambles around robotically, though the difference now, of course, is that he is old. That Arnie can't resist throwing the phrase "I'll be back" into as many of his movies as possible is proof of how willing the man is to parody his most iconic and best-loved work.
